Unitree Plans IPO Amid Growing Interest in Humanoid Robotics Sector
Unitree is set to launch an IPO on Shanghai's Star market, targeting a valuation of approximately Rmb40bn ($5.9bn). The company's strong performance, with 5,500 humanoid robots shipped last year, highlights the growing interest in robotics and AI investment sectors in China.
Unitree, the largest humanoid robot producer globally, has filed for an IPO on Shanghai's Star market, aiming for a valuation around Rmb40bn ($5.9bn). In 2025, the company reported adjusted net profits of Rmb600mn on revenues of Rmb1.7bn, with significant revenue derived from quadruped robots and humanoid sales.
Investors are closely monitoring Unitree as it represents a key indicator of the health of the android industry. Despite high expectations, analysts express concerns over the scalability of industrial applications, emphasizing the need for broader commercial use cases to maintain valuation. The company plans to allocate nearly half of the expected Rmb2bn raised for research into intelligent robotics models, which could enhance deployment across various sectors.
