How China is leading the humanoid robots race
Briefly

China has emerged as the leader in robotics, particularly humanoid robots that replicate human action. Within the next 3-5 years, mass-produced humanoid robots are anticipated, with a marketplace growth projected to reach $38 billion in a decade. Fixed industrial robots outperform humans, operating nearly continuously and error-free. The increasing dominance of China in this sector risks American businesses facing supply chain reliance and wage stagnation. American firms have made significant robots, but production is what determines industrial success as the U.S. struggles to maintain its previous leadership in robotics innovation.
In the last few years, China has overtaken the U.S. as the leader in the robotics race, especially with humanoid robots designed to mimic human behavior.
Mass-produced humanoid robots may reach us within the next 3-5 years, and the market is predicted to grow to $38B within just 10 years.
Fixed industrial robots currently operate with productivity rates estimated to be 10 times that of humans, working almost 24/7 with virtually no errors.
If the U.S. continues to lag behind in the robotics race, American businesses will face increased supply chain dependence on China.
