- To analyze opportunities in the market for stakeholders and the details of the competitive landscape for leaders in the market
The sizing of the humanoid 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 humanoid 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 humanoid robots used in each type of application. Finally, the volume is multiplied by the average selling price of each humanoid 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 humanoid robot market is expected to be valued at USD 320.3 Million in 2017 and is estimated to reach USD 3,962.5 Million by 2023, at a CAGR of 52.1% between 2017 and 2023. The humanoid robot market is mainly driven by factors such as the introduction of advanced features in humanoid robots, the increasing use of humanoids as educational robots, and growing demand from the retail industry for personal assistance.
The humanoid 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, and others. The market for software component is expected to grow at a higher CAGR between 2017 and 2023. As the technological advancement will lead to the growing complexity in terms of features such as AI and autonomous operations, the value of the software part in the robot will grow faster than hardware as software will assist the complex functionalities to process efficiently and accurately.
The humanoid robot market is segmented on the basis of motion types into biped and wheel drive. The actual human-like appearance can be realized in humanoids only when the robot is capable of walking on feet like humans; owing to this, a majority of the humanoid robot manufacturers are focusing on their designs to make biped robots. Also, the advancement in technology has made humanoid robots more stable with precise movements, generating demand from almost every application.
The humanoid robot market is segmented on the basis of applications into education and entertainment; research and space exploration; personal assistance and caregiving; search and rescue; public relations; and others. The public relations application accounted for the largest share of the overall humanoid robot market in 2016. The market for the education and entertainment application is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The key factor responsible for this growth is the ability of humanoids to assist and even replace teachers in classrooms, creating a buzz for modernizing schools. The market for the personal assistance and caregiving application is expected to grow at the second-highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The humanoid robot market is broadly classified on the basis of geography 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 humanoids for almost all the major applications during the forecast period. As the elderly population in APAC countries such as China and Japan is on the rise, the region is expected to employ humanoids for the personal assistance and caregiving application.
The high initial cost and R&D expenses inhibit the humanoid robot market growth. Furthermore, the lack of high-level interfacing causing unpredictable performance of humanoid robots has been a key challenge facing the industry. However, factors such as rapid growth in aging population, rise in demand from medical and logistics sectors, and the rising trend of autonomous rescue operations can generate significant opportunities for this market.
Some key players in the humanoid robot market are SoftBank (Japan), ROBOTIS (South Korea), KAWADA ROBOTICS (Japan), Honda Motor (Japan), UBTECH ROBOTICS (China), Hajime Research Institute (Japan), Hanson Robotics (Hong Kong), DST Robot Co. (South Korea), PAL Robotics (Spain), Toyota Motor (Japan), ROBO GARAGE Co. (Japan), Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Italy), Engineered Arts (UK), Robotics Lab (Spain), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA, US).
