Sanitization Robots Global Market Report 2026

Sanitization robots are autonomous or semi-autonomous machines designed to disinfect and clean environments using technologies such as ultraviolet (UV) light, sprays, or other cleaning agents. They are commonly deployed in healthcare facilities, public spaces, and industrial settings to minimize the spread of infections, maintain hygiene, and ensure a safe environment with minimal human intervention.

The primary types of sanitization robots include UV-C sanitization robots and hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV) sanitization robots. UV-C sanitization robots utilize UV-C light to disinfect surfaces and air by destroying the DNA of microorganisms. These robots are frequently used in healthcare, hospitality, and other environments that require high sanitation levels. Sanitization robots differ by technology, such as semi-autonomous and fully autonomous models, and by coverage capabilities, including unidirectional and multidirectional. They also offer various connectivity options, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. These robots are employed across a range of applications, including healthcare, hospitality, office environments, retail, logistics, and manufacturing.
