Consumer robotics involves the application of robotic technology to consumer products, encompassing a diverse range of items designed for personal or domestic use. Examples include vacuum cleaners, floor cleaners, window cleaners, lawn mowing robots, pool cleaning robots, personal assistant robots, and toy and educational robots. These robots serve to assist, entertain, or provide services to consumers, enhancing the convenience, enjoyment, and efficiency of their daily lives.
The main types of consumer robotics are autonomous and semi-autonomous. Autonomous robots are machines or devices capable of performing tasks and making decisions without direct human intervention. These robots may utilize various connectivity options, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and others, which can be channeled through offline and online modes. Consumer robotics finds applications in domestic tasks, education, healthcare, and other areas, and is utilized in industries such as oil and gas, process industry, chemical and petrochemical, power generation, among others.

The consumer robotics market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $14.6 billion in 2024 to $18.57 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased disposable income, rising interest in home automation, growth in the aging population, expansion of the smart home market, and improvements in battery technology
The consumer robotics market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $54.17 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the development of affordable and versatile robotic platforms, expanding applications in healthcare and education, rising demand for cleaning and maintenance robots, advancements in human-robot collaboration, and increased focus on companion robots. Major trends in the forecast period include the adoption of social robots, personalized and customizable robotic solutions, the emergence of swarm robotics, a focus on sustainable and eco-friendly robotics, growth of robotic-as-a-service (RaaS) models.
The anticipated rise in the adoption of smart home appliances is poised to drive the growth of the consumer robotics market. Smart homes, equipped with internet-connected devices and systems, empower homeowners to control, monitor, and automate various aspects of their living space. Consumer robots play a crucial role in smart homes, enhancing automation and assisting with various tasks. According to the State of the Connected Home report, based on a survey by techUK, a UK-based non-profit trade association, 77% of UK adults own at least one smart home appliance, marking an increase from 67% in 2020 and 76% in 2021. The number of advanced adopters of smart home devices has reached 26% in 2022, up from 24% in 2021 and 17% in 2020. Consequently, the growing adoption of smart homes is fueling the demand for consumer robotics.
The significant shift towards remote work is a key contributor to the consumer robotics market's growth. Remote working, where employees can work from home or any location outside the office, has led to increased demand for consumer robots that facilitate home management. This trend has created a market for robotic solutions catering to the needs of remote workers. A study by AT&T reveals that the adoption of a hybrid work model, combining remote work and office work, is projected to increase from 42% in 2021 to 81% in 2024. Therefore, the adoption of remote work is expected to be a driving force for the consumer robotics market.
Major companies in the consumer robotics market are developing innovative robots, such as high-power-density SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm), to enhance automation capabilities, boost efficiency in manufacturing and assembly processes, and address the growing demand for advanced robotic solutions capable of performing complex tasks with precision and speed across various consumer applications. High-power-density SCARA robots are specialized robotic arms engineered for precision tasks in industrial automation that require both speed and power. For instance, in October 2023, Epson Robots, a US-based division of Seiko Epson Corporation focusing on automation solutions, introduced the GX-B Series, a new range of high-power-density SCARA robots. This series includes four models with payload capacities from 4 kg to 20 kg and reach capabilities of up to one meter. The GX-B Series features the RC700E controller and integrated SafeSense technology, allowing for safe interaction between workers and robots without the necessity for safety fences. Employing GYROPLUS vibration reduction technology, these robots achieve fast production speeds and smooth motion control, making them ideal for high-end automation needs in sectors such as medical devices and consumer electronics.
Leading companies in the consumer robotics market are focused on launching next-generation solutions, such as robot vacuum cleaners, to deliver reliable services to customers. Robot vacuum cleaners are autonomous devices equipped with a limited vacuum floor cleaning system, sensors, and robotic drives with programmable features powered by AI and machine learning. For example, in September 2023, Ecovacs Robotics, a China-based technology company that develops in-home robotic appliances, launched the DEEBOT X2 OMNI. This robot vacuum and mop features a super-thin, low-profile design that allows it to glide effortlessly under sofas, beds, and other hard-to-reach areas where dirt often accumulates. It has an Auto-Empty function that can empty the dustbin in just 10 seconds, using dual-laser Lidar navigation technology supported by a built-in light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor.
In January 2022, Furhat Robotics, a Sweden-based social robotics company, acquired Misty Robotics for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enabled Furhat Robotics to expand its geographical presence in the US and further advance next-generation social robotics technologies. Misty Robotics is a US-based manufacturer of consumer robots.
