The global robotics industry has experienced a series of ups and downs in recent years. During the pandemic in 2020, demand for automated systems surged, but by 2022, the market faced a downturn, and 2024 brought stagnation. However, experts are confident that the sector will experience rapid growth in the next five years. The main driver of this process will be AI robotics, which is already becoming a new global technology trend.
According to a study by Stocklytics.com, the AI robot market will grow by 280% to reach $64 billion by 2030. This makes it one of the fastest-growing areas in automation.
The AI robot segment is demonstrating impressive growth rates. Since 2020, the market has quadrupled, and this dynamic is only accelerating.
Factors contributing to explosive growth: Industrial AI robots learn and adapt, making them indispensable in manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare.
The development of autonomous transport systems, smart factories, and personal robots is fueling demand for intelligent technologies.
Labor shortages are forcing companies to invest in automation, reducing dependence on the human factor.
According to Statista Market Insights, the global AI robotics market was $5 billion in 2019, but by 2023 it had increased by 350% to reach $22.5 billion.
Statista forecasts that this segment will continue to grow annually by 23.3% (CAGR), leading to $64.3 billion by 2030. The average annual increase will be $7 billion, which is significantly ahead of the growth of traditional robotics, expected at 58% (to $73 billion).
Despite active development in all countries, the main growth drivers will be China and Japan, whose markets will increase by 300% and 280%, respectively.
China is focusing on industrial robotics, strengthening the automation of its manufacturing base. Its AI robot market is projected to reach $9.1 billion by 2030.
Japan is focused on the development of medical and social robots, which is especially important in the context of an aging population. By 2030, the volume of the Japanese market will be $2.7 billion.
Other countries will also show impressive growth:
USA - +264%, to $20.4 billion.
Germany - +271%, to $2.6 billion.
United Kingdom - +261%, to $2.3 billion.
AI robots are confidently becoming one of the key technologies of the future. Thanks to the ability to learn, adapt, and perform complex tasks, they will find application in industry, healthcare, transport, and everyday life.
Leading countries such as China, Japan, and the United States are actively investing in research and development to maintain a competitive advantage and take leading positions in the field of AI automation.
