Global Quadruped Robot Shipments Near 35,000 Units in H1 2026, Unitree Leads with 37% Share

The striking figure here is not the headline shipment total but the 40% industrial share: quadrupeds are moving from research and demo fleets into revenue-generating deployments, which is what separates a durable category from a novelty one. Unitree's 37% share suggests the vendor landscape is still concentrated around a single leader rather than fragmenting, despite a growing field of competitors. Whether that industrial mix keeps climbing — and whether Unitree's lead holds as enterprise buyers mature — is the open question.
