The global cleaning robot market size is estimated to reach USD 20.97 billion by 2030, growing at an estimated CAGR of 22.9% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth can be credited to the increasing use of cleaning robots in residential and commercial applications. Rising labor costs for cleaning purposes also fuels the adoption of cleaning robot across commercial and industrial areas. Professional cleaning applications, including floor, window, pool, and solar panels, contribute to the overall market's growth.
The increasing need for hygiene in both residential and commercial applications is expected to boost the growth of the market over the forecast period. The growing incidence of asthma and other health conditions related to hygiene is expected to propel the demand for cleaning robots. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has highlighted the importance of sanitization. In residential areas, people focus on implementing cleaning robots to keep families safer and healthier by removing dirt, germs, and allergens. For instance, according to a survey from the American Cleaning Institute, Americans spend around 6 hours a week cleaning their homes.
The market for cleaning robots is expected to witness notable growth over the forecast period with the increasing demand for robotic vacuums in several sectors, such as automotive, healthcare, logistics and transportation, and retail. Industries involving redundant and repetitive operations offer ample opportunities for robotic machines. The increasing utilization of cleaning robots is directly aligned with the rising importance of facility cleaning across various industries, especially retail. According to a Consumer Reports survey, cleanliness is a top concern among the top-rated grocery stores’ customers. Moreover, rising public health concerns and the increasing significance of cleaning the premises are expected to impel the demand for cleaning robots in the coming years.
Ongoing technological advancements, such as the introduction of artificial intelligence, deep learning, and virtual reality, are further driving the growth of the market. In March 2023, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. launched a Bespoke Jet and Robotic Jet Bot+ premium range of vacuum cleaners in India. The smart robot also offers voice recognition for AI assistants such as Bixby, Alexa, and Google Home, so that users can opt for voice commands to schedule cleaning sessions and change modes either on-premise or remotely.
