Household Robots Market Dynamics
Driver: Rising demand for robots in domestic segment
Robotics has witnessed a huge leap in usability and convenience with the introduction of technologies such as the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm and Artificial Intelligence. Such technologies have been adopted by major market players to bring key innovations to their product offerings. Consumers want to spend less time or completely avoid household chores, such as vacuuming, pool cleaning, and mowing, which has a direct impact on the growing need for domestic robots, maximizing their revenue potential. As these robots are used for indoor as well as outdoor household activities, their area of operation is limited. Since these robots are more cost-efficient and long-lasting in comparison to hired domestic help, the adoption rate of these robots has been increasing significantly over the past few years.
Restraint: Legal safety and data protection regulations
Regulatory issue related to the protection of data collected by robots has come into the picture in the last 2–3 years. For instance, in May 2018, the European Union and European Parliament approved General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The regulation helps to protect the personal information of individuals within the European Union and provides guidelines for the control of citizen and resident data. The household robots collect data such as the floor plan of a house and garden through smartphone applications integrated with the robots. This personal information may be compromised if the data is not stored or managed using authentic applications.
Opportunity: Various upgrades to household robots in elderly assistance application
The rapid increase in the number of the aging population due to better healthcare in developed countries, such as the US and Japan is driving the need for medical assistance robots for home deployment. According to the Statistics Bureau of Japan, the population of elderly citizens (65 and over) constituted about 28.8% of the total population in 2020, which has surpassed the proportion of children (14 and younger) in the country. This also implies that there are fewer people to look after the elderly. It is estimated by the Administration of Ageing that more than 25% of the population in the US will be above 65 years by 2060. The US Census Bureau forecasts that every 1 in 5 residents will be of retirement age and the elderly people will outnumber children by 2030.
Challenge: Making household robots affordable and available globally
In several developing countries, due to lower per capita income and government taxes, affordability for consumers remains a challenge due to the high cost of acquiring consumer products. In India, the import duty could be as high as 27%. In several countries, hiring domestic help is much more economical. The availability of such products is also limited and they are mostly sold by third-party retailers and online stores. Even multinational companies such as Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and LG Electronics Inc. offer robots such as POWERbot and HOM-BOT that are not globally available and are mostly offered online through third-party sites such as Amazon (US) or brick-and-mortar stores. Strong players in this segment, such as Ecovacs Robotics Co., Ltd., and Neato Robotics, Inc., who have witnessed success in the US market, have also not officially made their products available worldwide.

Market Definition
Household robots, also known as home or domestic robots, are essentially programmable computers integrated with electrically powered machines that perform household chores. They typically have some capacity for movement, either for moving themselves or manipulating objects, or both. Home robots differ from appliances (dishwashers, for example) or even internet-connected appliances since they do all the work as opposed to simply making a task easier. These labor-saving devices not only allow people to perform multiple tasks in less time but also assist disabled or elderly people if required. Service robots, when integrated with technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), can perform mundane household tasks. Service robots, which are specifically adapted for performing household tasks are termed household robots.
