APAC is projected to contribute 40% by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
With the ageing population worldwide, the demand for long-term care and government spending on it is likely to rise throughout the projection period. Long-term care providers encounter issues due to a dearth of experienced people, which is expected to boost the use of service robots in geriatric care. Due to the increased demand, several new companies are projected to enter the industry. Furthermore, service robotics is becoming more popular in the education sector in APAC. For example, Pepper and NAO, SoftBank Robotics' service robots, are used to teach at numerous preschools in Singapore. Such use of service robots in the education sector is projected to boost the growth of the service robotics market in APAC over the forecast period.
The market is witnessing significant growth driven by advancements in IoT and AI. These technologies are transforming industries like healthcare, agriculture, and transportation, reducing hospital-acquired infections and improving operational efficiency. Drones and robots are revolutionizing critical operations with their endurance and capability. The market is also benefiting from government funding and initiatives like the Moonshot Research and Development Program. With the rising demand for food and the increasing global population, service robotics, including professional UAVs and agricultural robots, are playing a crucial role in research, space exploration, and various industries. Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market. Although there has been a decrease in demand for the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The increasing adoption of robotics in diverse application fields is notably driving the service robotics market growth. Robots are being employed in numerous fields today, including in the automotive, healthcare, agriculture, food and beverage industries and robotic surgery. The employment of these has grown in recent years as technological developments have made it easier to design these for specific jobs. Robotic automation has been used in a wide variety of sectors. It is projected that more and more sectors will use robotics to modify their business models during the forecast period. This includes the use of 3D data, research and space exploration, government funding, the European Space Agency, professional robots, personal and domestic robots, agricultural robots, and inspection robots. The automotive sector is the biggest end-user of robotics, accounting for more than 30% of overall industrial robot installations.
Robots are widely deployed in manufacturing lines to assist with operations such as vehicle assembly, welding, and painting. They also enhances the quality and precision of different processes while increasing the overall efficiency of the manufacturing process. Farmers in agriculture have already begun to employ GPS-guided tractors and harvesters because it allows them to manage their farms more effectively, saving them time, energy, and labor expenses. GPS-guided tractors improve farming capacity to suit consumer needs, from harvesting and planting to cutting emissions and boosting crop output. All these factors are driving the market during the forecast period.
Strategic collaborations, partnerships, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are the primary trend driving the service robotics market growth. Service robot manufacturers are continuously making efforts toward improving their relationships through collaborations and partnerships with robot system integrators and distributors to attain a competitive advantage over other players in the market. Thus, there is an emphasis on providing integrators with tools such as certain software, along with information and support, to help them serve customers in a better manner.
companies also focus on mergers or acquisitions to get better visibility and recognition in the market through their promotion as certified/ authorized providers of products in marketing campaigns. For instance, ABB supports its channel partners with training in the form of e-learning and webinars, backup support, sales, and technical support, demos, and documentation. This will help the service robotics market to grow during the forecast period.
The high costs associated with robotic systems may impede the service robotics market growth. Several new and advanced models of service robotics are expected to be launched in the market during the forecast period. This is expected to increase the cost of these further. Such an increase in the cost of these is expected to hamper their adoption among middle-class consumers, especially in India, countries from Africa, and other developing countries. Therefore, the high cost of robotics stands as a major challenge to the growth of the market.
Companies of service robotic solutions are expected to follow certain standards and regulations regarding the use of safety-critical components, wireless technologies, and batteries in their product offerings. While regulatory standards in the US and Europe are clearly defined, countries in APAC are gradually coming up with their standards that will make it challenging for international companies to operate in the region since they will incur significantly high costs in modifying their manufacturing methods as per the newly defined, country-specific standards. This will hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
