Cleaning Robot Market Growth & Trends

The global cleaning robot market size is expected to reach USD 20.97 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 22.3%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The considerable market growth can be ascribed to the rising prominence of robotics technology for cleaning purposes in residential as well as commercial spaces. Moreover, the penetration of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), deep learning, and Virtual Reality (VR) is also playing a key role in the industry expansion.

Vacuum robots have gained a wide reception in the past few years due to the increasing consumer inclination toward smart gadgets and continuous improvement in software and hardware technology. For instance, in June 2021, Samsung launched Jet Bot AI+, its new robot vacuum cleaner for optimizing home cleaning routines. The new AI-based solution comes with cutting-edge object detection and recognition technologies that help consumers clean their homes efficiently and intelligently with greater convenience and personalization.

Besides the ongoing technological advancements, the market players are emphasizing forming strategic alliances with the manufacturers of virtual assistant systems to enhance the performance of vacuum machines. For instance, ECOVACS partnered with Amazon.com, to make Ecovacs DEEBOT N79S compatible with Amazon Alexa.

The cleaning robots market is expected to witness significant growth in Europe over the forecast period with the increasing demand for robotic vacuums in several sectors, including automotive, healthcare, logistics and transportation, and retail. The growing popularity of Robot as a Service (RaaS), as a part of which, various companies such as Avidbots provide rental cleaning services is favoring the regional market growth further.
