The Cardinal Matrix - Market Competition Analysis
Based on the Analysis presented in the The Cardinal Matrix; Toyota Motor Corporation is the major forerunner in the Humanoid Robot Market. In August, 2019, Toyota came into partnership with Preferred Networks for advancing useful service robots that could support people in daily life. Companies such as Hanson Robotics Limited, Honda Motor Co. Ltd. and SoftBank Robotics Group (SoftBank Group Corporation) are some of the key innovators in Humanoid Robot Market.
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
