Major trends in the forecast period include rise of coding and programming education, adoption of collaborative and social robots, integration of artificial intelligence (AI), security and privacy considerations, market expansion in emerging economies.

The growing adoption of smart devices is anticipated to drive the expansion of the education robot market in the future. A smart device refers to any device that connects to an app, the internet, a local network, or another device through a wireless connection. These robots can wirelessly connect with various Apple iOS and Google Android mobile devices via Bluetooth 4.0, aiding students in gaining educational insights. For instance, in December 2022, Software Testing Help, an Indian software testing and services organization, reported that the global population would reach approximately 7.62 billion by 2022, with a rising trend in IoT devices. There are expected to be around 20 billion IoT smart devices operational, fueled by the increasing demand for 5G networks. Thus, the rising adoption of smart devices is propelling the growth of the educational robot market.

The growing adoption of online learning is projected to further enhance the growth of the educational robot market in the coming years. Online learning, often referred to as e-learning, involves acquiring information or skills through electronic materials and the internet. Educational robots in online learning improve the educational experience by offering practical and engaging methods for studying various subjects, particularly in STEM and technology fields. For example, in January 2022, e-student.org, an Estonia-based resource for evaluations and analysis of online learning, indicated that enrollment in massive open online courses (MOOCs) is expected to grow at an extraordinary rate of 29% annually over the past three years, with nearly all major U.S. institutions now offering online courses. Therefore, the rising adoption of online learning is driving the educational robot market.

Technological advancements are a significant trend gaining traction in the educational robot market. Leading companies in this sector are concentrating on creating new technological solutions to enhance their market position. For example, in April 2022, iRobot Corp., a U.S.-based tech company that designs and markets educational and other robots, introduced the Create 3 educational robots. This product is built on the Roomba i3 Series robot vacuum platform and provides educators and advanced makers a reliable, ready-to-use alternative to costly and labor-intensive robotics kits that require assembly and testing. Rather than cleaning homes, this robot is designed to foster higher-level research for individuals looking to further their education or career in robotics.

Educational robots are specialized robots designed to aid students in acquiring knowledge and enhancing cognitive skills. They play a crucial role in assisting youngsters in developing fundamental cognitive skills, particularly in areas such as mathematical thinking, from a young age.

The main categories of educational robots are service robots and industrial robots. Service robots are designed to provide various services to humans, and in the educational context, they are tailored to support learning activities. Industrial robots, on the other hand, are mechanical machines programmed to autonomously perform tasks related to production in industrial settings. These educational robots consist of both hardware and software components. They find applications across various educational levels, including primary education, secondary education, higher education, and other educational contexts.
