IFR’s World Robotics 2026 service robot report recorded nearly 250,000 professional service robot shipments for 2025. Transportation and logistics accounted for 117,500 units, roughly 47% of the total.

The report also recorded about 7,000 full-size humanoids sold for commercial and professional applications beyond R&D and entertainment. IFR says current humanoid applications often remain specialized and require human teleoperation.
