Global Humanoid Robot Market Overview
The key driver impacting the humanoid robot market is the increasing use of humanoids as educational robots and high demand from the retail industry for personal assistance. The increased demand leads to rising investment in developing advanced humanoid robots to be used in retail, healthcare, defense, and education. For instance, In 2020, agility robotics raises $20 million to build and deploy humanoid robots for work in human spaces. Since its founding in 2015, the total amount of $29m had raised. In 2018 a developer of intelligent humanoid robots, UBTech Robotics, raised a funding of $820 million to develop adult-sized humanoid robots. It focuses mainly on the R&D of servo systems, movement control algorithms for computer vision and walking. Moreover, the technological advancement in the robotic industry, such as artificial intelligence, big data, and 5G, is expected to give self-learning capabilities to humanoid robots, thus contribute to the humanoid robot market growth in the coming years.
The vast adoption of humanoid robots in the healthcare sector is estimated to augment humanoid robot needs in the forecast period. For instance, The smart field hospital of China is staffed by robots. It is opened in Wuhan, China, in March 2020. In this hospital, a silicon valley company CloudMinds Technology donated the humanoid robots utilized to deliver food and medicine, disinfect, measure temperatures, and deliver food and medicine. It is even used for the entertainment of medical staff and patients. In 2020 AIIMS, New Delhi, and Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre, Mumbai of India, deployed RoboElf, which is introduced by Milagrow. However, the high initial investment and R&D expenses may hamper the market in the long run. Also, the lack of high-level interfacing that causes unpredictable performance negatively impacts the market. The current industry trends, such as the rising trend of autonomous rescue operations and increased demand from medical and logistics sectors, are expected to offer new lucrative market opportunities for the key players.
The humanoid robot market is vast, with many local and global players. The humanoid robot market is extensive, with many regional and international players. The important market leaders follow numerous strategies to improve their market position, such as acquisitions, extending product portfolio, contracts, amalgamation, contracts, acquisitions, product upgrades to enlarge their market share across the globe. For instance, in May 2019, Ford declared its plan to develop its robot ‘Digit' in collaboration with Agility Robotics. It will be utilized for delivery purposes.
