The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expanding applications in healthcare, rising demand for personal assistance robots, evolving consumer preferences, increased funding in robotics research, and demand for collaborative robots. Major trends in the forecast period include customization and personalization, focus on safety features, adoption of cloud robotics, the emergence of socially intelligent robots, and sustainability initiatives.

The increasing demand for humanoid robots in the medical sector is fueling the growth of the humanoid robot market. The medical sector encompasses a wide array of organizations and professionals dedicated to delivering medical services, treatments, and products aimed at promoting and maintaining human health. Humanoid robots are being utilized more frequently in the medical industry due to their advantages, such as enhanced efficiency, personal care management, and improved diagnostic accuracy. For example, in March 2024, the Private Healthcare Information Network, a UK-based healthcare network, reported that there were 48,000 robotically-assisted procedures conducted in the first three quarters of 2023. Furthermore, in 2022, a total of 49,000 healthcare procedures were performed using robots. Consequently, the growing demand for humanoid robots in the medical sector is driving the humanoid robot market forward.

The rise in automation is anticipated to accelerate the growth of the humanoid robot market in the future. Automation involves using technology, machinery, or systems to carry out tasks or processes with minimal human involvement. Humanoid robots are integral to industrial automation, executing complex tasks, improving efficiency, and collaborating with human workers, which enhances production processes and boosts productivity. For instance, in May 2023, the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based non-profit organization, reported that industrial robot installations in manufacturing surged by 12% in 2022, reaching a total of 41,624 units. The automotive sector, primarily comprised of businesses in the US, Canada, and Mexico, was the leading adopter, with 20,391 units installed - a 30% increase from 2021. Therefore, the rise in automation is propelling the growth of the humanoid robot market.

Technological advancements are a significant trend gaining traction in the humanoid robot market. Leading companies in this sector are concentrating on developing cutting-edge robots to maintain their competitive edge. For example, in August 2022, Xiaomi, a technology firm based in China, unveiled the CyberOne humanoid robot. This new bipedal robot boasts advanced technological features, including an AI-driven full-sized humanoid frame that generates a peak torque of 300 nm and supports 21 degrees of freedom in movement. It utilizes Mi-Sense depth vision technology to visually interpret the gestures, expressions, and reactions of individuals in its vicinity.

Key players in the humanoid robot market are increasingly focused on launching advanced robots, such as warehouse robots, to maximize their market revenues. Warehouse robots are automated machines engineered to perform a variety of tasks within a warehouse or distribution center, including inventory management, order picking, packing, and the transportation of goods. For instance, in October 2023, Amazon, a US-based e-commerce giant, introduced a new humanoid bipedal robot named Digit, which is intended to work alongside employees in its warehouses rather than replace them. This robot is developed by Agility Robotics, in which Amazon has invested through its Industrial Innovation Fund. Currently, Amazon is testing Digit for tote recycling, a highly repetitive task involving the picking up and movement of empty totes.

In August 2022, Amazon.com, Inc., a US-based e-commerce company, acquired iRobot for $1.7 billion. Through this acquisition, Amazon aims to leverage iRobot's expertise and technology in mobile robotics to enhance its capabilities in the home robotics sector, potentially broadening its presence and innovations within the humanoid robot market. iRobot Corporation is a US-based consumer robot firm known for designing and manufacturing robots.
