By the only metric that can't be faked — robots out the door — AGIBOT leads the world. The Shanghai company, founded in 2023 by ex-Huawei engineers, shipped 5,168 humanoids in 2025, 39% of the entire ~13,000-unit global market (Omdia), and rolled its 15,000th robot off the line in June 2026. A Hong Kong IPO is planned at a $5.1–6.4bn valuation, with Tencent, HongShan, and BYD among its backers.
The nuance: volume isn't the same as labor. AGIBOT's shipped fleet skews toward reception, entertainment, exhibitions, research, and data collection — real, paying use cases, but a long way from general-purpose autonomous work. Its portfolio spans full-size and half-size bipeds plus wheeled units, and it's expanding into Europe, Japan, Korea, and the Middle East. As a bellwether for how fast this industry industrializes, no company matters more.
What's real
- • The verifiable global shipment leader: 5,168 units in 2025, 39% market share, 15,000 produced cumulatively by June 2026
- • Scaling like a manufacturer, not a lab — 1,000→5,000 units took a year; 5,000→10,000 took three months
- • Broad portfolio (bipedal, half-size, wheeled) sold into many real, revenue-generating scenarios
Know before you watch (or buy)
- • Shipped volume skews to reception/entertainment/research — not autonomous general labor
- • Effectively a B2B China-market company for now; buying and supporting units elsewhere is early
- • IPO-stage claims deserve IPO-stage scrutiny; Omdia's shipment count is the solid number
The evidence
The world's #1 humanoid shipper in 2025 — 5,168 units, 39% of the ~13,000-unit global market (Omdia); produced its 15,000th robot in Jun 2026.

Bottom line
The most industrially real humanoid company on earth by shipment count. If you're watching one number to track whether humanoids are becoming a real industry, watch AGIBOT's production milestones — just don't confuse a robot greeting mall visitors with a robot doing your chores.
