116,000 New Enterprises Established in Humanoid Robot Sector Nationwide in First Half of 2026, Up 9.5% Year-on-Year
Data from the State Administration for Market Regulation shows that in the first half of 2026, 55,000 new enterprises were established in the generative AI sector nationwide, up 28.0% year-on-year, and 116,000 new enterprises in the humanoid robot sector.
The latest data released by the State Administration for Market Regulation shows that the number of enterprise registrations in emerging and future industries in China grew significantly in the first half of 2026. Among them, generative AI, as one of the core future industries, saw the number of new enterprises reach 55,000, with a year-on-year increase of over one-quarter, indicating high market attention to this technology.
The humanoid robot sector also performed actively, with 116,000 new enterprises established in the first half, up 9.5% year-on-year. As an important implementation carrier for AI technology, the rapid development of humanoid robots reflects accelerating capital and talent investment in the direction of embodied intelligence, and the industrial ecosystem is gradually improving.
The dual growth of generative AI and humanoid robots indicates that AI technology is extending from virtual models to the physical world. This trend may promote intelligent upgrades in fields such as manufacturing and services, and also means that upstream and downstream industries in the relevant supply chain will face more business opportunities and challenges.
