Humanoid Robot Market - Competitive Landscape and Trends by Forecast 2030

Market Growth Factors

Rising development of humanoids with advanced features

Robotics are in demand and are being used in a variety of applications as a result of technological breakthroughs. Humanoid robots offer the ideal interface for human-robot interactions as they can replicate a person. These are all results of advancing robotics research and ongoing technical development. Artificial intelligence, the creation of robot hardware, the implementation of bipedal or wheel drive locomotion, and human-robot interaction are the four key categories under which humanoid robot research is classified. These commercial developments are anticipated to help the market expansion of humanoid robots.

Highly flexible and mobile

Humanoid robots can move fast in several directions and are incredibly mobile due to their four legs. Thus, humanoids are capable of carrying out a variety of human tasks both at home and at work. The behavior of these robots is intended to resemble that of humans. Accordingly, some robots are ideal for demanding industrial jobs, including deep-sea research, mining, and other heavy industries. In addition to operating machinery and vehicles, humanoid robots are utilized to care for the old and the sick. Numerous industry verticals make extensive use of humanoid robots. The market is anticipated to experience faster expansion as humanoid robot use rises in various key verticals.

Market Restraining Factors

High cost to be spent initially

Educational robots and programmable industrial or service robots are widely available on the market and manufactured with mass-market components. They come at a reasonable price and can handle simple tasks. The cost of research and development necessary to create humanoid robots, on the other hand, rises in direct proportion to the complexity of the jobs that they must perform. In controlled environments like factories and retail stores, robots have proven successful in operating and carrying out tasks. However, there is a growing need for robots to carry out advanced activities due to the growing need for service robots in several industries, including entertainment, education, search & rescue, public relations, logistics, cleaning, and medicine. As a result, the market growth may hinder due to the high initial cost of humanoid robots.

Application Outlook

By application, the humanoid robot’s market is bifurcated into research & space exploration, education & entertainment, personal assistance & caregiving, hospitality, search & rescue, and others. The hospitality segment garnered a significant revenue share in the humanoid robots market in 2022. The hospitality sector is deploying robots to assist with customer care procedures, from artificial intelligence chatbots to auxiliary robots. Robots in hotels are employed to enhance the standard of guest satisfaction. Ordering has become simpler due to front desk robots. The deployment of robots in hotels and restaurants is advantageous since COVID-19's effects on the hospitality sector have made it necessary to prevent human-to-human contact and labor shortages.

Component Outlook

Based on component, the humanoid robots market is classified into hardware and software. The hardware segment held the highest revenue share in the humanoid robots market in 2022. Humanoid robots can interact with people more effectively due to hardware components. A broader range of activities may be carried out by more complex robots with improved efficiency and accuracy because of developments in robotics engineering, materials science, and control system design. Hardware components, in particular, enhance humanoid robots' ability to interact with humans.

Motion Type Outlook

By motion type, the humanoid robot’s market is fragmented into biped and wheel drive. In 2022, the wheel drive segment dominated the humanoid robots market with the maximum revenue share. The wheel-drive robots are easy to construct and may be programmed to move with regard to the environment. Compared to two-legged robots, they are less likely to topple over since they can keep their balance on a solid foundation. At theme parks, science fairs, and amusement parks, wheel-drive humanoid robots are often used as entertainment. These elements are anticipated to fuel the demand for humanoid robots in the coming years.
