Telerobots Global Market Report 2025

The telerobots market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $26.26 billion in 2024 to $32.41 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.4%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to several key factors, including the increasing demand for remote operations, rising investments in automation technologies, greater adoption of telemedicine, the growing need for high-speed and accessible communication, and the defense sector's expanding requirement for unmanned systems.

The telerobots market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $74.6 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.2%. The expected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the expansion of 5G connectivity, the growing demand for remote healthcare solutions, increased adoption of industrial robots for hazardous environments, and the rise of smart manufacturing initiatives. Key trends in this period include the development of autonomous telerobots, the increasing use of cloud robotics, the rise of human-robot collaboration, a heightened focus on cybersecurity in remote operations, and the miniaturization of robotic systems.

The growing demand for automation is expected to drive the expansion of the telerobots market in the future. Automation involves the use of technology, machines, and systems to perform tasks with minimal human intervention, improving efficiency, consistency, and precision by streamlining repetitive or complex processes. By reducing human error, automation enhances efficiency and accuracy across various industries, leading to higher quality and faster output, especially in high-demand environments. Telerobots are used in this context to remotely perform intricate tasks in hazardous or hard-to-reach areas through precise robotic control. For example, in April 2024, the International Federation of Robotics, based in Germany, reported a 12% increase in industrial robot installations in the United States in 2023 compared to the previous year. As a result, the rising demand for automation is driving the growth of the telerobots market.

Leading companies in the telerobots market are focusing on developing cutting-edge robotic mobility technologies to boost operational flexibility and precision. These technologies enable robots to move and navigate autonomously or with minimal human control, allowing them to perform tasks in complex, diverse, and often hazardous environments. For example, in March 2025, SS Innovations International Inc., an India-based surgical robotics company, launched the SSI Mantra Tele-Sync Mobile Unit (SSI MantraM), a mobile tele-robotic surgery unit. This mobile unit empowers surgeons to perform complex surgeries remotely using mobile broadband networks, helping to address the shortage of skilled surgeons in rural and remote regions. By enhancing operational flexibility, the unit enables robotic surgical systems to operate effectively in challenging healthcare environments. It provides high-quality care with minimal human presence, significantly expanding access to critical surgical services.

In May 2022, Palladyne AI Corp. (formerly known as Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation), a US-based company known for its advanced robotic systems, acquired RE2 Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition allows Palladyne to broaden its product offerings and enhance its ability to cater to a wider range of customer demands within both the commercial and defense industries. It supports Sarcos’s mission of delivering state-of-the-art robotic solutions for industrial and defense purposes. RE2 Inc. is a US-based company, focused on creating autonomous and teleoperated robotic systems, particularly for industrial and defense sectors.

Telerobots are robotic systems that are remotely operated by humans to carry out tasks in environments where direct human intervention might be unsafe, impractical, or inefficient. These robots integrate teleoperation (remote control) with automation technologies, allowing operators to direct the robot’s movements and functions through a user interface. Equipped with sensors, cameras, and feedback systems, such as haptic feedback, telerobots provide operators with tactile and visual information, helping them navigate the robot’s surroundings effectively.

Telerobots can be categorized into several types, including industrial, medical, military, service robots, and others. Industrial telerobots are specifically designed for industrial purposes and are capable of being controlled remotely. These robots are utilized in environments that are hazardous, hard to reach, or require high levels of precision. They are equipped with components including sensors, actuators, controllers, and communication systems. Operating on technologies such as remote-controlled robots and autonomous control systems, industrial telerobots come in various sizes, including personal assistant robots and compact telepresence robots. Their primary end users include healthcare providers, industrial manufacturers, defense and military agencies, research organizations, space agencies, and service providers.
