The humanoid robot market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $2.44 billion in 2023 to $3.7 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 51.6%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to increasing labor costs, a rising interest in automation, the demand for efficiency, growth in the manufacturing industry, and the globalization of supply chains.
The humanoid robot market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.69 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 51.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expanding applications in healthcare, a rising demand for personal assistance robots, evolving consumer preferences, increased funding in robotics research, and the demand for collaborative robots. Major trends expected in the forecast period include customization and personalization, a focus on safety features, the adoption of cloud robotics, the emergence of socially intelligent robots, and sustainability initiatives.
The humanoid robot market is experiencing growth driven by an increasing demand for humanoid robots in the medical sector. The medical sector, encompassing a wide range of organizations and professionals providing medical services, treatments, and products, is witnessing a rising adoption of humanoid robots. These robots offer various benefits such as efficiency, personalized care management, and enhanced accuracy in diagnosis. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) in October 2022, the medical sector employed 14,800 service robots in 2021, marking a 23% increase from 2020. This surge in the use of humanoid robots in the medical field is a significant factor driving the overall growth of the humanoid robot market.
The humanoid robot market is set to experience further expansion due to the increasing trend of automation. Automation involves the use of technology, machinery, or systems to perform tasks with minimal human intervention. Humanoid robots play a crucial role in automating complex tasks, improving efficiency, and collaborating with human workers, leading to streamlined production processes and increased productivity. A survey conducted by ABB Robotics, a Switzerland-based robotic machinery manufacturer, in September 2021 revealed a notable shift in attitudes towards automation in the UK manufacturing sector. Approximately 81.2% of surveyed companies expressed consideration for robot investments, highlighting the growing acceptance of automation. As robots are seen as potential solutions, 48.8% of respondents indicated a likelihood of investing in automation within the next five years, with 50.4% recognizing robots as aids in complying with social distancing requirements. Consequently, the increasing trend of automation is a key driver for the humanoid robot market.
The humanoid robot market is witnessing a key trend characterized by technological improvements. Major companies in this market are actively engaged in developing technologically advanced robots to maintain their competitive positions. An example of this trend is Xiaomi, a China-based technology company, introducing the CyberOne humanoid robot in August 2022. This bipedal robot incorporates advanced features, including an AI-based full-sized humanoid frame generating peak torque of 300 nm and supporting 21 degrees of freedom in motion. Additionally, it utilizes Mi-Sense depth vision technology to visually process individual gestures, expressions, and reactions.
Major companies operating in the humanoid robot market are increasingly focusing on introducing advanced robots, such as warehouse robots. Warehouse robots are automated machines designed for various tasks within a warehouse or distribution center, including inventory management, order picking, packing, and goods transportation. Amazon, a US-based e-commerce giant, exemplifies this trend by launching Digit, a humanoid bipedal robot designed to collaborate with employees in its warehouses rather than replace them. This robot, developed by Agility Robotics, is part of Amazon's investment strategy in the field of robotics.
In June 2021 Hyundai Motor Group, a South Korea-based motor vehicle company, acquired Boston Dynamics, Inc., for $1.1 billion. This strategic acquisition has positioned Hyundai Motor Group as a leading player in the robotics industry and has facilitated its transformation into an innovative mobility solutions provider. Boston Dynamics Inc., based in the United States, is renowned for manufacturing highly mobile robots, including humanoid robots.
