With 102,900 models (+14%) offered in 2024, greater than each different skilled service robotic was constructed for the appliance class transportation and logistics. These robots cowl primarily cell robots for the transport and dealing with of products.
The overall variety of service robots offered for skilled use reached nearly 200,000 models in 2024, marking a 9% enhance. Employees shortages are a key driver for firms to make use of robots designed for skilled professionals. On the identical time, the rising aged inhabitants is rising demand for medical robots. These findings are introduced within the World Robotics 2025 Service Robots report by the Worldwide Federation of Robotics (IFR).
“There’s robust demand for service robots in quite a few totally different utility areas,” says Takayuki Ito, President of the Worldwide Federation of Robotics. “With a purpose to combine automation with out making a heavy upfront funding, an increasing number of firms are deciding to enter into subscription or rental agreements fairly than buying robots outright. The robot-as-a-service fleet (RaaS) has grown impressively by 31%.”
High functions for skilled service robots by models offered
With 102,900 models (+14%) offered in 2024, greater than each different skilled service robotic was constructed for the appliance class transportation and logistics. These robots cowl primarily cell robots for the transport and dealing with of products.
Hospitality robots stay second place with greater than 42,000 offered – down 11%. Robots for cell steerage, info factors in public environments and telepresence account for almost all of those robots.
The marketplace for skilled cleansing robots, in third place, grew by 34% to greater than 25,000 models offered. The principle utility is flooring cleansing.
Gross sales of agricultural robots rank fourth and contracted barely by 6% with near 19,500 models offered. The lower was primarily pushed by cultivation and milking.
For the appliance group of search & rescue, safety robots, a complete variety of 3,100 models have been offered in 2024, inserting it in fifth place up 19%.
Gross sales of medical robots elevated strongly by 91% to round 16,700 models in 2024.
Service robots for shopper use have skilled a strong development fee of 11% with shut to twenty million models offered in 2024. Robots for home duties (flooring cleansing, garden mowing and so on.) have been by far the biggest group of shopper robots.
