Service robots, machines designed for diverse tasks excluding industrial automation, execute valuable activities for people or machinery. Controlled internally, they enhance business efficiency by undertaking time-consuming and repetitive tasks. These robots are pivotal in the services industry, aiding human workers in completing monotonous or hazardous activities.
Service robotics encompass professional, personal, and domestic categories, supported by hardware and software. Professional service robots, semi-autonomous or fully autonomous, serve commercial purposes and are mobile. Commonly utilized outside manufacturing facilities, these robots contribute to safety, efficiency, and productivity. They serve various functions such as cleaning public areas, delivering goods in office or hospital settings, firefighting, rehabilitation, and performing surgeries in healthcare facilities. They function in aerial, ground, and marine environments and cater to industries like healthcare, defense, electronics, automotive, transportation, construction, and others.

The growing need for robots in the healthcare industry is anticipated to propel the expansion of the service robotics market. The healthcare sector encompasses businesses that provide medical services and manufacture medical equipment or pharmaceuticals. Service robots are employed in healthcare settings to manage routine logistical tasks and alleviate the daily pressures on healthcare professionals. This allows them to dedicate more time to urgent patient needs, ultimately enhancing the overall quality of patient care. For example, in June 2023, the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and safeguarding the robotics industry globally, reported that the number of industrial robot installations in Europe reached 72,000 units in 2022, marking a 6% increase from 2021. Therefore, the rising demand for robots in the healthcare sector is driving the growth of the service robotics market.
The service robotics market is poised for growth, propelled by the expanding automotive industry. The automotive industry, covering companies involved in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and selling of motor vehicles, is increasingly integrating service robotics for various advantages. Service robotics in this sector enhances production efficiency, improves product quality, ensures worker safety, and aligns with industry trends. Notably, global motor vehicle production reached 85.4 million units in 2022, reflecting a significant 5.7% increase from the previous year, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association. Additionally, the automotive sector achieved approximately 78 million unit sales in 2022, marking a noteworthy 10% rise, as reported by Brand Finance plc in February 2022. This integration of service robotics in the automotive industry is a driving force behind the growth of the service robotics market.
