Summary

The humanoid robot market to grow from USD 2.03 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 13.25 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 45.5% from 2024 to 2029. The rising adoption of humanoids as educational robots is driving market growth. Humanoid robots serve as interactive tools to engage and motivate students across various learning settings, such as classrooms, and out-of-school programs
“Wheel-drive segment segment to grow at the second fastest CAGR during forecast period.“
Wheel-drive humanoid robots are used for entertainment at theme parks, amusement parks, science events as well as research in universities and research institutes. Recent developments in wheel-drive humanoid robots have enabled them to work in hazardous environments and places where humans cannot easily reach.
“Hardware segment to hold the largest market share during the forecast period.”
The hardware system in humanoid robots is made up of a variety of components that are integrated to achieve specific tasks. These include sensors that make it possible for the robot to perceive the environment through cameras, depth sensors, and touch sensors. Control systems and processors take care of processing sensor data and running very complex algorithms that result in autonomous decision-making plus intelligent behavior. Additionally, body materials combine with electronic; electrical; and mechanical components toward achieving a complete structure and functioning as a whole machine. This kind of composition of hardware features in humanoid robots allows for easy integration of technologies so that they attain human-like features and can perform duties across various industries such as healthcare, entertainment, research, and education.
“China to grow at the fastest CAGR during forecast period.”
