The educational robot market is expected to grow from USD 688.3 Million in 2017 to USD 1,689.2 Million by 2023, at a CAGR of 16.8% between 2018 and 2023. The educational robot market is mainly driven by the factors such as the use of robots for educational purposes and technological advancements in the field of robotics. For this study, the base year considered is 2017, and the forecast period is between 2018 and 2023.

The prime objectives of this report can be summarized as follows:

To define, describe, segment, and forecast the global educational robot market, in terms of value and volume, on the basis of component, type, education level, and geography
To forecast the market size for various segments with regard to 4 main regions - the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), and Rest of the World (RoW)
To provide detailed information regarding the major factors (drivers, restraints, opportunities, and industry-specific challenges) influencing the growth of the educational robot market
To provide a detailed overview of the value chain in the educational robot industry
To analyze opportunities in the market for stakeholders and the details of the competitive landscape for leaders in the market
To strategically analyze the micromarkets1 with regard to the individual growth trends, prospects, and contribution to the educational robot market

The sizing of the educational robot market has been done using top-down and bottom-up approaches. The bottom-up approach has been employed to arrive at the overall size of the educational robot market from the revenues of key players (companies) and their shares in the market. Calculations are made on the basis of the number of educational robots used in each type of industrial and service application. Finally, the volume is multiplied by the average selling price of each educational robot to arrive at the overall market size. In the top-down approach, the overall market size has been used to estimate the size of the individual markets (mentioned in the market segmentation) through percentage splits from secondary research (including the study of associations, databases, and journals). Major secondary sources include the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the International Journal of Robotics Research, the Robotic Industries Association, and the Association for Advancing Automation. For the calculation of specific market segments, the most appropriate parent market size has been used to implement the top-down approach.

In the process of determining and verifying the market size for several segments and subsegments obtained through secondary research, extensive primary interviews have been conducted with key opinion leaders. The breakup of the profiles of primary participants is given below:

The educational robot market is expected to be valued at USD 778.6 Million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 1,689.2 Million by 2023, at a CAGR of 16.8% between 2018 and 2023. The educational robot market is mainly driven by factors such as the use of robots for educational purposes and technological advancements in the field of robotics.

The educational robot market is segmented on the basis of components into hardware and software. The hardware component is subsegmented into sensor, actuator, power source, control system/controller, and others. The other components include body material and other electronic, electrical, and mechanical components. The educational robot market for software is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. As the technological advancement will lead to growing complexity in terms of features such as inter device connectivity, AI, and autonomous operations, the value of the software part in the overall educational robot market will increase more than that of hardware. Also, the software will assist the complex functionalities to process efficiently and accurately.

The educational robot market is segmented on the basis of type into humanoid and non-humanoid. The market for humanoids is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The market for low-cost humanoids is likely to gain traction in the near future owing to the projected high growth of software. Humanoid robots have the ability to assist and even replace teachers in classrooms; hence, schools are looking forward to deploying humanoids in their classrooms to attract the attention of parents by modernizing the teaching pattern. Moreover, with the decline in the price of humanoids, it is expected that they will make their way to homes as educational material to impart education and teach programming to kids.

The educational robot market is segmented on the basis of education level into elementary and high school education, higher education, and special education. The market for educational robots used in special education is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Though special educational robots are for children with autism and developmental issues, which makes educational robots occupy the lowest percent of market share, the growing demand for learning assistance robots across the world attributes to its high growth rate.

The educational robot market is broadly classified on the basis of geographic regions into the Americas, Europe, APAC, and RoW. The market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. APAC is likely to adopt educational robots as there are some widespread government initiatives in the region that aim to improve the literacy rate in the region. Government initiatives for education and technological advancements offer opportunities for the educational robot market in this region. Due to increasing use of robots for educational purposes and technological advancements in the field of robotics, the region is expected to deploy educational robots. However, the Americas held a major share of the market in 2017. The Americas is the early adopter of educational robots, which is resulting in the maximum demand for robots from this region.

Educational Robot Market

High initial R&D expenditure inhibits the educational robot market growth. Furthermore, concerns regarding the safety of kids have been a key challenge faced by the industry. However, factors such as growing demand for humanoid robots and huge potential in developing countries can generate significant opportunities for this market.

Some key players in the educational robot market are SoftBank (Japan), ROBOTIS (South Korea), PAL Robotics (Spain), Hanson Robotics (Hong Kong), QIHAN Technology Co. (China), DST Robot Co. (South Korea), Probotics America (US), Wonder Workshop (US), Aisoy Robotics (Spain), and BLUE FROG ROBOTICS (France).
