Commercial Robots Market Report 2026

The commercial robots market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $29.6 billion in 2025 to $35.42 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising labor shortages across industries, expansion of automation in services, growing adoption of robots in healthcare and agriculture, availability of collaborative robot platforms, investments in robotics startups.

The commercial robots market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $67.95 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of ai-enabled commercial robots, rising use of robots in public services, demand for cost-efficient automation, integration of advanced sensors and vision systems, growth of robotics-as-a-service models. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of service robots in commercial spaces, increasing deployment of autonomous mobile robots, integration of ai-based human-robot interaction, growing demand for safety and collaboration features, customization of robots for sector-specific tasks.

The surge in industrialization is anticipated to drive the expansion of the commercial robot market in the foreseeable future. Industrialization entails the mechanization of production processes, utilizing non-living energy sources, and structuring labor in large-scale factories and enterprises to enable mass production and economic advancement. This trend towards industrialization is fueled by various factors, including the flourishing industrial revolution and the expanding manufacturing sector. Commercial robots are deployed by businesses to replicate, aid, or substitute human tasks and operations. For example, as per reports released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of China, responsible for the collection, analysis, and publication of statistical data, the country's industrial output recorded a 4.6% year-on-year increase in October 2023, surpassing predictions of a 4.4% rise. This growth outpaced the 4.5% rate witnessed in September 2023. Consequently, the heightened pace of industrialization is spurring the growth of the commercial robot market.

Leading companies in the commercial robot market are investing in advanced robotic technologies, such as third-generation delivery robots, to enhance delivery services in urban settings, with the goal of improving efficiency and customer satisfaction. A third-generation delivery robot is a highly advanced autonomous delivery system that offers significant improvements over previous generations in terms of technology, functionality, and usability. For example, in October 2024, Serve Robotics, Inc., a US-based company specializing in robotic delivery solutions, launched its latest third-generation delivery robot to improve food and drink delivery services in Los Angeles. This new robot boasts a larger capacity for items like pizzas, enhanced speed and battery life for longer trips on a single charge, better water resistance, and faster braking for improved performance in challenging weather conditions. Originally part of Postmates, which was acquired by Uber, Serve Robotics aims to tap into the dense delivery market in L.A., focusing on areas like Hollywood and Koreatown. The company highlights the environmental and economic benefits of these robots, including lower delivery costs, a boost to local businesses, and the creation of new job opportunities in the gig economy.

In January 2024, ABB, a US-headquartered company specializing in electrification and automation and renowned for its commercial robot manufacturing, purchased Sevensense for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition represents ABB's strategic move to bolster its position in cutting-edge AI solutions, particularly in sectors such as logistics and manufacturing. Sevensense, headquartered in Switzerland, is recognized for its expertise in enabling mobile robots to navigate public and dynamic environments through advanced technologies including edge AI.
