Humanoid robotics market will reach $5 trillion by 2050 (excluding massive secondary supply chains for repair/maintenance/support). Nearly 1 billion humanoid robots operating globally by 2050, 90% used for industrial/commercial purposes vs domestic — measured/slow adoption until mid-2030s, then explosive vertical acceleration. | Annual humanoid-deployment milestones from Figure/Tesla/Agility

Key catalyst: Annual humanoid-deployment milestones from Figure/Tesla/Agility

Watch events: Next MS humanoid-market update; 2030s adoption metrics

MS Humanoid Robot report 2026 projects the $5T / 1B figures; trails Musk/Adcock aggressive numbers but serves as mainstream sell-side baseline.
