Commercial Robots’ Market Size is valued at 21.78 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach 137.82 billion by the year 2034 at a 20.4% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
The increasing demand for commercial robotics due to technological improvements and investments in research and development (R&D) in robotics is one of the main drivers fueling the expansion of the worldwide commercial robotics sector. Due to an increase in the use of cutting-edge weapons and robots in the military and defense, as well as an increase in the amount of money invested in the region's defense industry. In addition, several significant market players, increasing deployment of surveillance security robots in the commercial sector, and several technical developments.
Additionally, the market is anticipated that several businesses along the value chain that have made significant investments in developing cutting-edge security solutions that can completely replace human intervention while reducing the average operational cost of security robots will significantly contribute to the global market expansion in the years to come.
The growth of startups, increased expenditures in automation, rigorous government rules on handling hazardous chemicals and products, the introduction of smart factories, and the ongoing shift from manual to robotic procedures are the leading factors driving the global market for commercial robots. Furthermore, the need for security robots is projected to expand due to several security concerns. Advanced automation techniques are expected to be widely used worldwide during the forecast period.
The commercial robot's market is segmented based on type and application. Based on type, the commercial robot's market is segmented as drones, field robots, medical robots, autonomously guided robots and others. Application segment includes medical & healthcare, defense & security, agriculture & forestry, marine and others.
The defense & security category will hold a major share of the global commercial robots' market in 2022. The next stage of military progress is military robots' automation of defense processes. International interaction is facilitated by the Internet's addition of automated systems and networking. The military industry has invested more money in security and surveillance during the previous ten years. Government investment in the defense sector is rising, expanding market expansion prospects. Additionally, growing international tensions are driving up demand for automation in the defense sector.
Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV) are utilized extensively in automatic logistics systems due to their adaptability and effectiveness. Ongoing process automation in other industry verticals and sectors is driving market expansion. The market expansion is also anticipated to be caused by technological advancement, rising awareness of the benefits of autonomous robots in emerging economies, and expanding application areas for autonomous robots. Over the past several years, the explosive development of the e-commerce industry has been the primary factor fueling demand for AGVs in the logistics industry.
The North American commercial robots' market is predicted to report the most increased market share in revenue shortly. Due to an increase in the use of cutting-edge weapons and robots in the military and defense, as well as an increase in the amount of money invested in the region's defense industry. In addition, several significant market players, increasing deployment of surveillance security robots in the commercial sector, and several technical developments.
In addition, Asia Pacific is projected to grow rapidly in the global commercial robot's market. Numerous industries are fueling the expansion of commercial use. A rise in the preference to make online purchases is anticipated to promote the development of the usage of these robots in the e-commerce business. In contrast, an anticipated labor shortage will broaden their application in the industrial sector. E-commerce companies are using industrial and commercial robots to increase the effectiveness of their supply chains by placing them in their warehouses and distribution centers.
