English text is being prepared.
At the 2026 Gaogong Humanoid Robot Annual Conference, Gaogong Consulting predicted that in the next three years, more than 15% of humanoid robot companies will go bankrupt or be acquired, and that the sector will see its first major wave of consolidation in 2027. China's full-unit humanoid robot shipments this year are expected to exceed 50,000 units, lower than the forecast of more than 60,000 units at the beginning of the year; in the first three quarters, financing in the body segment reached 81.82 billion yuan and financing in the components segment reached 14.83 billion yuan, with financing cooling starting in the fourth quarter. Gaogong Consulting also expects the price war to continue in 2027, with small-size full units under 1.2 meters falling from 20,000 yuan this year to 18,000 yuan.

11月3日,第一财经记者从2026高工人形机器人年会获悉,高工咨询数据显示,今年中国人形机器人整机出货量预计将超5万台,但增速低于预期,随着四季度开始融资遇冷,预计未来三年将有15%以上的人形机器人公司被淘汰。
高工咨询总经理郑利瑶表示,今年具身智能的商业化迈上新台阶,但增速不及预期。预计2026年全球人形机器人整机出货量将近6万台,市场规模近20亿美元,将翻倍式增长;其中,中国人形机器人整机出货量将超5万台,市场规模将超100亿元,也将翻倍式增长,但今年中国人形机器人整机出货量会低于年初超6万台的预测。
这背后是人形机器人产品的落地节奏比预期慢。郑利瑶说,从新品看,今年中国人形机器人行业从单一“造本体”,转向“本体+模型”双线并进。但是,核心问题仍没有变化,产业链仍在纵向整合,大部分环节尚未完善。工业场景落地为主,基础作业普及但尚未跑通,灵巧手操作还需要应用场景持续铺开。
从融资看,今年前三季融资热度攀升,但第四季度开始遇冷。高工咨询数据显示,2026年前三季度,中国市场人形机器人本体领域融资818.2亿元、灵巧手等其他零部件领域融资148.3亿元。
“2027年人形机器人市场将延续价格战。”高工咨询预测,今年关节模组整体售价同比下降约30%,预计明年1.2米以下小尺寸人形机器人整机将从今年2万元降到1.8万元,1.2米至1.6米中尺寸整机将从今年11.5万元降到10万元,1.6米以上大尺寸整机将从今年26.8万元降到23.4万元。行业重心转向交付端,比拼落地部署和场景应用。
“在资金与商业化双重约束下,2027年人形机器人赛道将迎来首轮大幅出清”。郑利瑶预测,未来三年将有15%以上人形机器人企业会倒闭或被并购,腰部企业开始转向聚焦,领先企业放大优势,头部企业抢占生态位置。
出海将是发展趋势。2026年中国人形机器人整机出海出货量预计也将翻倍式增长。郑利瑶说,国内强在硬件供应链完善,海外强在大模型能力、高价值场景。但是出海需跨过产品认证、安全合规、数据合规、本地化服务等门槛,要从卖货到建生态。
“人形机器人行业正从样机演示走向工程化交付,从通用范式转向场景单点落地。”郑利瑶认为,目前在商业化上仍面临需求碎片化、缺乏“杀手级”应用的难题,在产业化上则需要克服软硬件割裂、接口不统一的痛点,所以资本也变得理性,正在“去泡沫”。
