The cleaning robot market has seen noteworthy growth in recent years,
• Expanding from $14.11 billion in 2024 to $17.47 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.9%.
This growth is underscored by factors such as the increase in labor costs and demand for automation, increased awareness of hygiene and cleanliness, expansion of commercial and industrial cleaning needs, and the rise in demand for smart homes and IoT-enabled devices. Moreover, adoption of cleaning robots in healthcare facilities has also played a significant role in driving the market size.
The cleaning robot market is poised for impressive growth in the coming years,
• Forecasted to reach $44.08 billion in 2029 at a CAGR of 26.0%. Market penetration in emerging economies coupled with urbanization, e-commerce expansion, and warehouse automation are among the key growth drivers.
In addition, the increased adoption of cleaning robots in hospitality and retail sectors, and the rising demand for disinfection and sterilization robots in healthcare settings are expected to fuel market growth. Several upcoming trends such as UV-C and disinfection technologies, AI-powered navigation and mapping, integration with smart home ecosystems, edge cleaning and navigation, and adoption of swappable cleaning attachments are also likely to positively influence market dynamics.
An increased focus on maintaining a clean and safe environment inside homes is set to drive the cleaning robot market forward. As per the International Federation of Robotics, the total number of service robots sold for professional use reached 158,000 units in 2022, a substantial 48% increase compared to the previous year. The demand for domestic household robots was particularly robust, with nearly 4.9 million units sold, including approximately 2.8 million robots dedicated to indoor domestic floor cleaning. Hence, the rising concern for safety and cleanliness within homes is largely influencing the growth of the cleaning robot market.
