Market Driver

The battery life of social robots is a significant challenge for manufacturers, as the continuous use of robots necessitates frequent charging. Research and development teams are addressing this issue by creating longer-lasting batteries. However, battery size also restricts robot design, occupying approximately one-fifth of the available space. To overcome this, engineers are working on reducing battery size without compromising performance. For instance, the University of Michigan is developing biomorphic batteries, which could provide up to 72 times more energy for robots. Additionally, the Bristol Robotics Laboratory is creating a self-powering robot, EcoBot-II, which converts insect biomass into energy using onboard microbial fuel cells. The increasing adoption of social robots is expected to boost R&D in battery technology, leading to market growth during the forecast period.

Market Challenges

  • The global social robots market is experiencing significant advancements with the integration of advanced software and sensors for image processing and independent decision-making. However, the high cost of manufacturing these features poses a challenge for vendors, making social robots less affordable for consumers in emerging economies, particularly India. This reluctance to purchase expensive social robots may hinder market growth. Despite this, continuous R&D investments are expected to launch new, advanced models during the forecast period, further increasing costs. This cost escalation may limit social robot adoption among middle-class consumers in developing countries, potentially hindering market expansion.
  • The Social Robots Market is experiencing significant growth due to the integration of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in rehabilitation robots, robot toys, and social robots. Designers and neuroscientists leverage psychological insights, facial recognition, emotions, voices, and behavioral algorithms to create robots that understand and respond to people’s needs. Budgetary allocations for technology development in healthcare and educational organizations, along with research funding programs and start-ups, fuel the market’s expansion. Robotics, AI, IoT, Big Data, and 5G technology are key drivers, enabling personalized customer experiences and navigation in industrial, commercial, and residential spaces. Human observations and demonstration of fair behavior through cameras and sensors are essential for creating realistic robot interactions. Path planning systems ensure mobility assistive devices cater to disabilities, while robot technologies find applications in education, industrial spaces, and commercial spaces. The challenges include ensuring fair behavior, privacy concerns, and ethical considerations. Navigation in complex environments, human-robot interaction, and the integration of various technologies require continuous research and development. The market’s growth is further influenced by the need for advanced algorithms to recognize and respond to various emotions and speech patterns.
