The robot software market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $10.11 billion in 2025 to $13.29 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing industrial automation adoption, growing complexity of robotic workflows, rising need for flexible robot programming, expansion of industrial robot installations, increasing availability of industrial software tools.
The robot software market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $39.19 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing deployment of AI-enabled robot software, rising demand for scalable robot operating platforms, expansion of service robot applications, growing integration of robotics with enterprise IT systems, increasing focus on software-defined automation. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of low-code robot programming platforms, rising use of simulation-based robot software, growing deployment of predictive maintenance algorithms, expansion of cloud-based robot control systems, enhanced focus on human-robot interaction software.
The growing adoption of automation across industries is expected to drive the growth of the robot software market. Automation adoption refers to the integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and automated systems to streamline processes and reduce manual tasks in business operations. The increasing need for operational efficiency is fueling automation, as businesses aim to remain competitive by lowering costs and enhancing productivity through automated workflows. This trend supports the robot software market by creating demand for advanced software platforms that control, manage, and optimize robotic systems in manufacturing, logistics, and service operations. For example, in September 2024, the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based organization, reported 4,281,585 robots operating in factories worldwide, marking a 10% increase. For the third consecutive year, annual installations exceeded half a million units, with Asia accounting for 70% of new deployments, followed by Europe (17%) and the Americas (10%). Therefore, the growing adoption of automation is driving the robot software market.
Major companies in the robot software market are developing advanced technologies such as humanoid robot software platforms to enhance efficiency and enable sophisticated human-robot collaboration. A humanoid robot software platform integrates AI, machine learning, and computer vision to control humanoid robots, allowing them to mimic human behavior and actions. For instance, in September 2024, Fourier, a China-based robotics technology provider, launched GR-2. The robot stands 175 cm tall, weighs 63 kg, and offers 53 degrees of freedom with a 3 kg single-arm load capacity. It features a detachable, swappable battery with double the capacity of its predecessor, providing up to two hours of runtime. GR-2’s integrated cabling and redesigned joints improve modularity, maintenance, and real-world learning, while its hands, with 12 degrees of freedom and tactile sensors, enhance dexterity and precision, supporting advanced teaching modes like VR control and lead-through programming.
In August 2024, TKH Group NV, a Netherlands-based technology company, acquired Liberty Robotics Inc. for an undisclosed amount.
