The humanoid robots market is experiencing unprecedented investor enthusiasm and technological momentum, driven by breakthrough developments in artificial intelligence and rapidly improving hardware capabilities. Altogether, robotics-related startups secured around $7.2 billion in seed- through growth-stage investments in 2024. This investment wave reflects growing confidence that humanoid robots are transitioning from experimental technology to viable commercial products.
Recent funding activity demonstrates the sector's explosive growth potential. Figure, a 2-year-old startup dedicated to "bringing a general purpose humanoid to life," pulled in $675 million in Series B funding in February to further its vision of building robots to perform unsafe and undesirable jobs. Physical Intelligence, the San Francisco start-up, founded just this year, pulled in $400 million at a $2 billion valuation. The funding momentum continues with Apptronik announcing a $350 million Series A funding round to scale the production of artificial intelligence-powered humanoid robots, backed by major players including Google. Other significant 2025 funding includes Fourier's Series E funding round securing nearly Yen-800 million (about $109.1 million) and NEURA Robotics raising Euro-120 million in a Series B funding round.
Market forecasts have been dramatically revised upward as technology capabilities exceed expectations. Critical technological advances are accelerating market adoption. Manufacturing costs are declining faster than expected: The manufacturing cost of humanoid robots has dropped from a range between $50,000 and $250,000 per unit last year, to a range of between $30,000 and $150,000 now, with costs declining 40% rather than the expected 15-20% per annum. Tesla's Optimus program represents the highest-profile humanoid robot development, with plans to mass produce its humanoid robot, with ambitious growth targets predicting between 50,000 and 100,000 units by 2026.
The convergence of AI advancement, manufacturing scale, and urgent labor market needs positions humanoid robots for explosive growth, with applications spanning manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and eventually consumer markets. While technical challenges remain, the unprecedented investment levels and rapid technological progress suggest humanoid robots are poised to transform multiple industries within the current decade.
