The global disinfection robots market was valued at USD 308.63 Million in 2024, with North America holding a significant market share. The market is driven by the increasing innovation in disinfection technologies and rising awareness of infection control in healthcare facilities. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 30.80% during the forecast period of 2025-2034, with the values likely to attain USD 4.52 billion by 2034.
The coronavirus pandemic and other disease outbreaks have shown how healthcare settings can contribute to the spread of infections if appropriate infection prevention and control strategies are not followed. Recent data has suggested that during a hospital stay, 7 out of 100 patients in high-income countries and 15 out of 100 patients in low- and middle-income countries in acute-care hospitals will acquire at least one healthcare-associated infection (HAI). Additionally, it is estimated that 1 in every 10 such patients will die after they contract the infection. Disinfection robots are emerging as a promising tool for surface decontamination in hospitals and clinics. The growing awareness regarding the importance of infection control to prevent the spread of healthcare-associated infections is poised to augment the North America disinfection robots market demand.
One of the major market trends is the surge in the launch of innovative disinfection robots that leverage UV technology to destroy deadly microorganisms. In September 2023, Texas-based Xenex Disinfection Services, Inc., received the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) De Novo authorization for its high-intensity, broad-spectrum ultraviolet (UV) light robot LightStrikeTM+. The UV robot has a 2-minute run-time for microbial reduction on non-critical medical device surfaces free from visual soiling following manual cleaning and disinfection practices and has been used in over 1200 healthcare facilities globally. Moreover, this authorization from the regulatory body has created a new medical device product classification in which the LightStrike+ robot is the first and only product under the category. Such approvals are likely to build trust among healthcare providers in the capabilities of UV disinfection technologies and are anticipated to stimulate the market share in the coming years.
Other players in the market include Tru-D SmartUVC, Akara Robotics Ltd., MTR Corporation, Ftech Robotics, OTSAW Digital Pte Ltd, and Bioquell PLC.
