Commercial Robots Market Statistics: 2031
The global commercial robots market was valued at $15.2 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $85.2 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 20% from 2022 to 2031.
Commercial robots are devices used by a business for the purpose of replicating, assisting, or substituting a human’s actions. Commercial robots are distinct from consumer or personal robots that may handle tasks in the home, such as automated floor cleaning. Some robots, such as drones, have both personal and commercial uses.
The demand for commercial robots has increased because of the continuing shift from manual to automated processes, which is the main growth driving factor of the market. The synchronization of management, production, and control is critical to the effective running of industrial workflows. Commercial robots are becoming increasingly essential since they facilitate procedures and improve workflow accuracy and efficiency. The growth of small companies, more investment in automation, and strict government laws on management of hazardous chemicals and products are driving the demand for these robots. Similarly, industrial robots help in the carrying of heavy payloads during the production of automobiles and machine customization. The introduction of smart factories expands the market's potential.
The cost of purchasing market equipment and using the services given by the world's major participants is rather high. Small and developing companies are unable to purchase commercial robots and operate them across several departments and industry verticals. These factors are predicted to pose as major restraints in the commercial robots market growth.
The development of the commercial robots sector will also be driven by the need for increased productivity to support GDP growth. Robots, in most cases, augment human potential, by supporting humans in their activities, increasing overall productivity, and driving economic growth. Another factor expected to drive the commercial robot industry forward is that there are still lots of risky activities that can represent a risk to people, many of which can already be done by robots. Experts say that robots will take over the dull, the dirty, and dangerous jobs for humans. These factors are anticipated to boost the market growth in the upcoming years.

The commercial robots market is segmented into Application and Type.
By application, the medical & healthcare sub-segment dominated the global commercial robots market share in 2021. Commercial robots are utilized for a variety of domesticated tasks including, public service, patient monitoring, and other similar activities in healthcare institutions as well as home-based patient care. For example, in the first part of 2020, a hospital in Chennai, India, deployed service robots to deliver food and medications to COVID-19 patients. As a result, the huge increase in usage of these robots is predicted to drive market expansion in the coming years.
By type, the autonomous guided robotics sub-segment dominated the market in 2021. Autonomous guided robotics systems help to move and transport products in production facilities, warehouses, and distribution centers without the requirement of a fixed conveying system or operator involvement. It uses configurable guide paths to optimize storage, picking, and transport tasks in a premium space environment. The automatic guided vehicle systems (AGVs) were mostly wired (attached to the surface) and hence somewhat rigid as well as costly to install. But, companies like Fetch Robotics have recently produced more adaptable and intelligent AGVs that can make judgements in scenarios they have never experienced before. This adaptability can result in a variety of benefits, including decreased accidents, increased production, and cheaper costs. These are predicted to be the major factors affecting the commercial robots market size during the forecast period.
By region, Asia-Pacific dominated the global market in 2021 and is projected to remain the fastest-growing sub-segment during the commercial robots market forecast period. Asia-Pacific is expected to have significant growth because of the region's growing industrial manufacturing levels of automation and the improvement of technology. The Asia-Pacific market is driven by the sizeable and influential economies of Japan, China, and India. In addition, increasing government initiatives in the manufacturing sector and increased focus on economic diversification in developing nations are the two essential growth drivers boosting industrial automation. The most promising component driving the market's significant expansion over the projected period in the region can be shown to be the growing commercial robot density across the regional market.
Impact of COVID-19
