The commercial robots market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The commercial robots market has seen exponential growth in recent years. It is set to grow from $24.9 billion in 2024 to $30 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.5%.
This growth is attributed to the rising demand for automation, the need for efficiency and productivity, growing concerns about safety, increased investment in research and development, the adoption of robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) models, and the growing use of collaborative robots (cobots) in industries like construction.
The commercial robots market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The commercial robots market is projected to grow to $62.4 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 20.1%.
The growth is driven by increasing demand for automation, awareness of robotics' healthcare benefits, logistics efficiency, investments in robotic startups, and rising demand for autonomous vehicles. Trends include AI and machine learning integration, IoT adoption, smart factories, collaborative robots, robotic process automation, and drone integration.
The growth of industrialization is predicted to fuel the commercial robot market. Industrialization involves large-scale production and mechanization, and it is accelerating due to the expanding manufacturing sector. Commercial robots assist in replicating or replacing human tasks in various industries. For example, in October 2023, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of China reported a 4.6% year-over-year increase in industrial output in 2023, which will support the commercial robot market.
