The global professional service robots market size is expected to reach USD 71.65 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 11.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The logistics and healthcare sectors are driving the market growth as these robots hit the mainstream applications in these sectors and are expected to become a common practice on job sites and commercial venues. The market is expected to have a strong growth not only in the high-risk industry sectors but also in lifestyle and healthcare applications.

The military and defense applications segment is expected to grow at a steady rate during the forecast period. Robots are deployed in combat scenarios to gain tactical advantages over the enemy. They also help minimize the involvement of soldiers and reduce the number of victims in military actions. Unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) is the most used robot in defense and military applications. UGV is capable of operating outdoors, over a wide variety of terrain, and in high risk areas. Unmanned robots are actively being developed for both military and civilian use to perform complex and hazardous activities.

Mobile service robot is another field, which has gained prominence owing to its ability to perform complex assistance tasks with autonomous navigation. Advanced sensors and processes are incorporated in the robots to prevent them from colliding against humans and obstacles to ensure safety by providing real-time environmental monitoring in a three-dimensional space. Sophisticated user interfaces have been developed, which consider the entire range of communication channels. As a result, there has been a rapid growth of mobile service robots in inspection and maintenance applications. These robots are used for autonomous sewer inspection, remote visual and ultrasonic inspection of pipes, inspection of ferromagnetic structures in nuclear applications, and quick visual inspection of vessels, pipes, tanks, and large structures.

North America professional service robotics market is expected to exhibit steady growth over the forecast period. The region has witnessed the widespread adoption of professional service robots in healthcare applications for rehabilitation and assisting medical staff. A favorable funding scenario for research on assistive technologies is driving the growth of the robots market in North America. Moreover, the health crisis created by COVID-19 has developed huge stress on the healthcare industry resulting in the adoption of professional service robots in hospitals. In U.S., professional service robots played a crucial role in the country’s first case of COVID-19 detected at Everett, Washington. The telepresence robot was used for remote caregiving of the isolated patient.
