Third-party trackers put 2025 global humanoid shipments near the forecast — Yano Research estimated about 16,580 units and Smart Analytics Global's count implies roughly 16,000 — but the International Federation of Robotics counted only about 7,000 humanoids sold for industrial and professional service use, so the 18,000 figure was at or above the top of the actual range.
