Unitree Robotics, a Chinese humanoid robot manufacturer, is preparing for a fundraising round that could value the company between 10 billion yuan and 15 billion yuan (US$1.4 billion to US$2.1 billion). This follows its transition to a joint stock limited firm, enabling share issuance to support expansion.The move aligns with a broader industry shift towards mass production, with six Chinese humanoid robot manufacturers aiming to produce over 1,000 units by 2025. The domestic humanoid robot sector's output value is projected to reach US$616 million this year, reflecting significant market growth potential.
