China produced 40,000+ humanoid robots by June 2026; 100,000 full-year figure is only a forecast

China had produced more than 40,000 humanoid robots by end-June 2026 and developed 400+ models, with officials forecasting full-year output above 100,000.
The author cautions that the 100,000 figure is a forecast, not achieved output — and neither number is evidence of real-world adoption. Forecasts are not output.
