The consumer robotics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•The size of the consumer robotics market has seen a significant escalation in the past few years. It is projected to escalate from $14.6 billion in 2024 to $18.57 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.2%.
Factors that have contributed to this growth in the historic period include a rise in disposable income, growing intrigue in home automation, an increase in the elderly population, enlargement of the smart home market, and advancements in battery technology.
The consumer robotics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the upcoming years, the consumer robotics market is predicted to experience significant expansion, with its value expected to surge to $54.17 billion in 2029, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.7%.
This growth during the forecast period can be credited to factors such as the advent of cost-effective and flexible robotic platforms, increased use in the healthcare and education sectors, soaring demand for robots in cleaning and maintenance tasks, advances in the collaboration between humans and robots, and a growing focus on companion robots. Key trends observed during the forecast period include the acceptance of social robots, a shift towards personalized robotic solutions, the rise of swarm robotics, emphasis on sustainable and environment-friendly robotics, and the growth of Robotic-as-a-Service (RaaS) models.
The progression in the acceptance of smart home gadgets is projected to boost the development of the consumer robotics sector in the future. Smart homes are dwellings that are fitted with numerous internet-connected devices and systems, enabling inhabitants to regulate, observe, and automate different facets of their residence. Consumer robots play a significant role in these smart homes by enhancing the automation experience and simplifying numerous tasks. For example, a survey conducted by techUK, a non-profit trade organization in the United Kingdom, in November 2022, revealed in their State of the Connected Home report that 77% of UK adults possess a minimum of one smart home device. This is a growth increment from 67% in 2020 and 76% in 2021. Furthermore, the rate of individuals adopting smart home technology has increased, reaching 26% in 2022 from 24% in 2021 and 17% in 2020. Therefore, the steady increase in smart home adoption is fueling the demand for consumer robots.

Leading enterprises in the consumer robotics industry are creating innovative robots, such as High-power-density SCARA, to advance automation capabilities, elevate efficiency in manufacturing and assembly processes, and cater to the increasing requirement for sophisticated robotic solutions capable of executing intricate tasks with accuracy and swiftness in diverse consumer applications. High-power-density SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) robots are specialized robotic arms built for precision operations in industrial automation demanding both speed and strength. For example, in October 2023, Epson Robots, an American sector of Seiko Epson Corporation specializing in automation solutions, introduced the GX-B Series; a new range of high-power-density SCARA robots. This series encapsulates four models with payload capacities from 4 kg to 20 kg and reach functionalities of up to one meter. The GX-B Series integrates the RC700E controller and built-in SafeSense technology, providing safe collaboration between workers and robots without the necessity for safety fences. With the application of GYROPLUS vibration reduction technology, these robots accomplish swift production rates and smooth motion control, making them ideal for top-tier automation requirements in industries like medical devices and consumer electronics.
