Cognitive Robotics Market Outlook:
Cognitive Robotics Market size was valued at USD 6.6 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 17.12 billion by 2035, registering around 10% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2026-2035. In the year 2026, the industry size of cognitive robotics is evaluated at USD 7.19 billion.
The demand for cognitive robotics is rising at a rapid pace as several industries are adopting AI-powered mechanisms for increasing automation, decreasing labor costs, and embracing efficiency in all fields. These robots combine the power of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and sensor integration to realize decision-making and adaptability in changing environments. Advancement in recent times has ensured their use right from health care and logistics to automotive and defense. For example, in June 2024, Thales launched OpenDrobotics, which is an open-source platform that accelerates global collaboration in cognitive robotics. The market is projected to expand as businesses integrate intelligent automation into their workflows.
Strategic funding and policy frameworks by governments across the world are key in propelling the cognitive robotics market growth. In March 2024, Dubai launched the RDI Grant Initiative to support advancements in the areas of AI, robotics, and life sciences. It also ignited startups and research organizations to address major challenges in automation. Such areas of focus align with the global drive to use robotics for solving the labor scarcity problem, ensuring productivity, and sustainability. While innovation and collaboration-driven initiatives drive the cognitive robotics market, the emergence of cobots is redefining automation and making it affordable, even for small and medium-scale enterprises.
