Unitree Robotics has inaugurated a new 10,000 square meter factory in Hangzhou to address the rising demand for humanoid robots in China. This expansion aligns with the country's goal to dominate the global humanoid robot market, aiming to produce half of all units by 2025, while the company’s vertical integration strategy allows it to offer competitive pricing at $16,000 per unit. As humanoid robots transition from research to commercial products, significant investment is flowing into the sector, driven by applications in healthcare and labor shortages in aging societies.
