Humanoid Robot Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Rising labor shortage: Labor shortages in many countries and the aging population have resulted in the increasing adoption of humanoid robots for personal assistance and care, especially in healthcare and nursing centers. According to data from the United Nations, around 13.5% of the world’s population was at least 60 years old in 2020, and the number is estimated to increase by 22% by 2050. One of the latest innovations is the launch of an elderly care robot, Autonomous Domestic Ambidextrous Manipulator (ADAM) that helps to assist patients with basic daily functions. The product is developed in collaboration with Universidad Carlos III and Robotnik.
- Rising demand for automation: The global humanoid robot market is likely to expand at a rapid CAGR during the forecast period owing to rising automation across several industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. These industries are integrating humanoid roots to improve efficiency and reduce human dependency. In addition, enhanced AI and ML algorithms enable these robots to perform complex tasks, improve interaction, and adapt to the particular environment.
Challenges
- High initial investments and technical limitations: though humanoid robots are rapidly gaining traction across several verticals, their designing and manufacturing involve advanced technologies such as AI, sensory systems, and robots. This leads to substantial initial investment. It also requires timely maintenance, adding up the costs. Many small-to-medium scale companies may not afford it, leading to its lower adoption during the forecast period. Moreover, limitations in AI's capabilities to understand complex human behavior and emotion restrict its real-life application, which can hamper humanoid robot market growth to a certain limit.
- Lack of infrastructure and regulatory norms: Many countries, especially in developing economies do not have funds and suitable infrastructure to deploy advanced technologies, including humanoid robots. This can restrain humanoid robot market growth going ahead. Moreover, a lack of global standards and regulatory frameworks can limit its adoption in industries such as public services and healthcare.

Humanoid Robot Segmentation
Motion Type (Bipedal, Wheel-drive)
Based on motion type, the bipedal segment is predicted to account for humanoid robot market share of more than 52.3% by the end of 2037, owing to a high preference for bipedal mobility to navigate human spaces efficiently and perform intricate tasks with utmost precision and the rising availability of bipedal robots for performing several tasks across different sectors. The bipedal humanoid robots are integrated with cognitive abilities to enhance autonomy and adaptability. Manufacturing giants in the market are focused on developing advanced bipedal humanoid robots to cater to the rising demand. One of the recent developments in the bipedal segment is the launch of an AI-driven humanoid robot prototype by Mentee Robotics in April 2024. The prototype demonstrated an end-to-end cycle of complex task completion such as navigation, locomotion, scene understanding, grasping, object detection, localization, and natural language understanding.
Application (Education & Entertainment, Personal Assistance & Care, Public Relations, Research & Space Exploration, Search & Rescue, Others)
Education & entertainment segment in the humanoid robot market is set to grow at around 44.7% CAGR between 2024 and 2036. This growth can be attributed to rapidly expanding education and entertainment sectors, the high usage of humanoid robots to deliver interactive sessions, language learning assistance, and personalized teaching, and the rising integration of humanoid robots with theme parks and events as companions and interactive performers. Several companies are investing in R&D activities to develop and launch humanoid robots in these two sectors. For instance, in April 2023, Maker Labs announced the launch of India’s first AI teacher robot, making a groundbreaking transformation in the education system. According to the company, it aims to completely revolutionize the learning experience and create personalized lessons catering to each student’s needs.
