- Unitree shipped 5,500 humanoid robots in 2025, accounting for more than 25% of the global humanoid robot market, according to a Time profile.
- The Hangzhou-based robotics company is preparing for a Shanghai IPO, with Time framing it as a profile piece on the firm.
Why it matters: Unitree's 5,500 humanoid shipments and 25%+ global market share in a single year (2025) signal that a Chinese firm has emerged as a frontrunner in commercial humanoid robotics, and its Shanghai IPO will offer investors a rare public-market vehicle for exposure to the category.
