Challenges in Investing in 18 Billion Robots
Despite billions flowing into robotics companies and the rapid development of humanoid and industrial robots, individual investors face difficulties in directly investing in the leading firms in the field, mainly because most of these companies are private and not listed on stock exchanges. Since the beginning of 2026 until mid-June, emerging robotics companies have raised approximately $18.8 billion, surpassing the record set in 2025. However, many major companies such as Figure AI, Dyna Robotics, and Apptronik remain private, limiting options for individual investors, who often have to invest through funds or purchase shares of diversified companies. The share of humanoid robots remains limited compared to industrial robots, with about 7,000 humanoid robots sold last year versus 603,000 industrial robots. Additionally, direct investment tools in private companies, such as venture funds, are costly, with management fees reaching up to 2.5%, and valuations based on estimates rather than actual trading prices, making it more difficult for investors to enter the sector. Large companies tend to stay private for longer periods before going public, further restricting individual investors' options and forcing them to rely on indirect strategies.
