Consumer Robot Shipments Will Surpass 65 Million Units Annually by 2025

Consumer robots have been part of popular culture for decades, fueling visions of having robots living alongside humans in our homes to assist with daily tasks, entertain, educate, and socialize. However, the promise of consumer robotics remains largely unfulfilled. Cleaning robots, such as robotic vacuums, dominate the market and we are years away from widespread adoption of the robot types with which people have envisioned sharing their homes. However, according to a new report from Tractica, there is renewed interest in consumer robotics with companies introducing new innovations and product categories. The market intelligence firm anticipates that this innovation and diversification within the market will drive growth in unit shipments from 15.4 million in 2018 to 65.8 million units annually by 2025.
