Global humanoid robot sales reached approximately 7,000 units in 2025
Editorial Analysis
The International Federation of Robotics reported that around 7,000 humanoid robots were sold worldwide in 2025 for industrial and professional service use, the first industry-wide tally of the category. Many units were acquired by research institutions or for AI training data rather than productive work. The figure remains a small fraction of overall robot installations and contrasts with higher multi-year forecasts.
