Humanoid Robot Market Expected to Reach $609.5 Million by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Humanoid Robot Market," The humanoid robot market was valued at $307.60 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $609.5 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2022 to 2031.

The introduction of advanced features in humanoid robots is a key element that has boosted the growth of the Humanoid Robot Market. The increased usage of humanoid robots for security and surveillance applications, including the detection of terrorist activities, unauthorized intrusion, and enhanced use of AI robots in hazardous environments, are the primary forces driving the expansion of the humanoid robot market size. Other factors influencing the market for humanoid robots are the speedy development of sophisticated robots to enhance consumer contact and experience, as well as the growing demand for robots in retail applications. Additionally, the rising importance of personalized robots that help customers in their daily activities is boosting demand for humanoid robots throughout the forecast period. These are the primary factors expected to raise the humanoid robot market share during the forecast period.

The market for humanoid robots is significantly restricted by the high initial cost of robots and the substantial expenditures required for R&D activities. Additionally, lack of high-level interfacing systems and unpredictable performance are estimated to challenge the manufacturers, which is expected to hinder the humanoid robot market growth.

Humanoid robots are used in commercial and retail environments to aid in customer service, display product features, and facilitate the speedy collection of consumer data such as phone numbers, email addresses, zip codes, and service reviews. The transformation of inefficient infrastructure brought about by government expenditures in R&D and the usage of humanoid robots in educational facilities to give instruction has the potential to create new market opportunities for the humanoid robot industry. The development of new humanoid robot technologies may also present a lucrative market expansion opportunity. NASA and other space agencies utilize the sophisticated humanoid robots to study distant planets for a variety of reasons, such as taking close-up pictures of planets and determining whether they can support life. All these factors create an excellent opportunity for the market growth.
