The global disinfection robots market size is expected to reach USD 12.79 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 19.9% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc.. Healthcare companies and hospitals are progressively implementing disinfection robots to support proper hygiene and disinfection in the healthcare facilities. The convergence of increased infection risks, higher patient expectations, and evolving sanitation norms emphasize the critical role of maintaining clean spaces and surfaces within healthcare organizations. Over the past decade, patients have become more cautious toward potential infection hazards in hospitals and clinics, actively seeking out facilities prioritizing cleanliness and infection prevention. Simultaneously, hospitals and clinics encounter increasing labor expenses and a shortage of qualified healthcare workers. Moreover, as cleaning standards rise, the challenge is amplified by lagging cleaning budgets that often fail to align with real-time demands.
The growth of the market is also driven by the introduction of technologically advanced solutions from key industry players. For instance, the Danish company, Blue Ocean Robotics, is a significant contributor, which earned recognition through its innovative products. Among these, the UVD disinfection robot stands out, receiving the 2019 Invention and Entrepreneurship in Robotics and Automation (IERA) innovation award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and International Federation of Robotics (IFR) and the Frost & Sullivan 2020 European Professional Service Robots Product Leadership award. This robot utilizes UV-C light to navigate hospital spaces autonomously, emitting disinfecting light while halting operations if any unexpected movement is detected, indicating human presence. Equipped with LIDAR sensors, the robot can map its environment, allowing operators to designate areas for disinfection. This advanced technology enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of disinfection processes within healthcare settings.
