The household robots market is expected to register a CAGR of 20.50% over the forecast period (2021 - 2026).The household robots are also termed as domestic robots, which are the part of autonomous service robots for carrying out mundane works, such as floor cleaning, pool cleaning, and lawn mowing, but they can also be used for education, entertainment, and elderly assistance. According to the International Federation of Robotic Report 2019, unit sales of household robots are expected to increase by 46% on average per year, with more than 55 million units will be sold in 2022. Also, sales values for the household robot were up by 15% to USD 3.7 billion.

- Technological innovations, with respect to cognition, interaction, and manipulation, have made household robotics more appealing. Technology and other component providers have been instrumental in moving the robotics ecosystem forward. For instance, in April 2019, researchers at the University of California developed a robot that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to perform intricate human tasks, such as helping in folding laundry or making a cup of coffee.

... Increasing penetration of automation in household appliances, rise in labor costs, and increasing safety concerns are driving the demand for household robots across the world.

- With the increasing growth of the smart home concept, the robot may play a crucial role in the smart home ecosystem. For instance, in 2019, Temi partnered with Amazon Alexa to design intelligent, mobile, personal AI-powered robots. The temi home robot combines advanced sensing, Amazon's Alexa virtual assistant technology, and AI-enabled facial and voice recognition to deliver a mobile smart home hub that promises to take human-machine interaction to a new level.

- The increase in investments by companies across the world to develop household robots for a wide range of applications is one of the significant factors driving the market. Samsung and LG Electronics are extensively investing in developing and launching of new household robotic products.

Observing the market potential, startups offering household robot solutions are also attracting funding from international investors.

- However, the high equipment cost is limiting the adoption rate of household robots. Further decrease in its ASPs is expected to increase the purchase of these robots.

Key Market Trends

The Vacuum Cleaning and Mopping Segment to Dominate the Market

- Among all the household robots, automated vacuum cleaners and moppers are the most commercialized and developed products by the companies. The companies are continuously investing in developing more compact and integrated vacuum cleaner and mopping robots to reach narrow places at home. The companies are integrating advanced technologies, like voice recognition and laser-based technologies, to map the floor structure. For instance, Irobot launched a Roomba i7+, which is capable of acquiring voice commands and intelligent mapping techniques.

- Additionally, with the increasing developments in the machine vision cameras, companies are also using these 2D and 3D machine vision cameras with AI technologies to effectively map edges of the floor, like a staircase, and recognize obstacles, such as cables, dustbins, doorsills, and rugs.

- Moreover, to increase the life of cleaning tools, like brushes and filter, now, the companies are installing blades inside the chamber to cut the trash into pieces; especially human and pet hairs which cause frequent entanglements in the equipment and reduce cleaning effectiveness.
