The robot market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $113.83 billion in 2025 to $132.05 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to labor shortage challenges, industrial automation demand, manufacturing productivity needs, workplace safety concerns, technological advancements in robotics.

The robot market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $236.84 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to AI powered autonomous systems, expansion of e commerce logistics, smart factory adoption, service robot penetration, declining robot unit costs. Major trends in the forecast period include rapid adoption of collaborative robots, expansion of robots in logistics and warehousing, integration of AI driven vision systems, growth of mobile and autonomous robots, increasing use of robots in healthcare.

The growing demand in e-commerce and logistics is expected to drive the expansion of the robot market in the coming years.This demand refers to the surge in online shopping platforms and the systems involved in storing, handling, and delivering goods.The rising consumer preference for convenient home delivery is pushing businesses to increase the speed and frequency of shipments. In response, robot technology is evolving rapidly to meet these needs, offering AI-driven automation to enhance efficiency and support fast, precise deliveries.For example, in November 2023, the International Trade Administration, a U.S. Department of Commerce entity, reported that eCommerce revenues in the UK are projected to grow at an average annual rate of 12.6% by 2025. As a result, the growing demand in e-commerce and logistics is fueling the expansion of the robot market.

Key players in the robot market are concentrating on developing cutting-edge products like bipedal locomotion systems to enhance robotic mobility and facilitate navigation in challenging environments.These systems imitate human walking and running, allowing robots to traverse uneven terrain with improved balance and flexibility, thereby performing tasks that were previously difficult for conventional robots. For instance, in April 2024, Boston Dynamics, a U.S.-based robotics and engineering firm, introduced the next-generation all-electric humanoid Atlas robot. This marks a major shift from the earlier hydraulic version. The updated Atlas is tailored for real-world industrial and logistics use, offering increased strength, a wider range of motion, and superior dexterity. Equipped with advanced AI, machine learning, and a customized control system, it can perform complex tasks with agility and adapt to changing environments, surpassing typical human movement abilities.

In October 2023, Rockwell Automation, an industrial automation company based in the U.S., acquired Clearpath Robotics for an undisclosed sum.This acquisition is intended to boost Rockwell Automation’s capabilities in autonomous mobile robotics and solidify its presence in the smart manufacturing and industrial automation markets. Clearpath Robotics, headquartered in Canada, specializes in developing autonomous mobile robots for industrial purposes.
