New Delhi, March 7: By 2050, China is aiming to unleash one billion humanoid who will do everything that humans do. China’s gains in humanoids held centre stage at the ‘Two Sessions’.
Amid frenetic artificial intelligence race, China is aiming one-third global market share in humanoid by 2029. A report on the humanoid robot industry released at the 2024 World AI Conference claimed that “China’s humanoid robot market scale was approximately 2.76 billion yuan last year. By 2029, it is expected to expand to RMB 75 billion. This will be 32.7% of the global market”.
Bernstein Research Analysis in a report said that China aims to “establish more than one billion units” of humanoid by 2050. “The humanoids by 2050 will do everything that the humans do,” said the report in its analysis.
CN Wire in a report said that China is holding a half marathon for humanoids on April 13. Humanoids dancing on stages is now a common feature in China per reports.
China is aiming 10 million humanoid units this year, 2025, for tasks such as “mobility and perception capabilities, adoption in entertainment, R&D, education, patrols and inspections”.

People’s Daily last month in a report claimed that a “made-in-China humanoid robot became an instant celebrity as it showed off its natural human-like gait coupled with greetings to passersby”. “The 138-cm-tall robot weighs about 40 kg and can walk at a speed of two meters per second,” said the Chinese daily.
