The global cleaning robot market is expected to hit $34.94 billion by 2028, according to a recent study by Brandessence Market Research.
Brandessence estimates the global cleaning robot market in 2021 reached $8.34 billion.
The market researcher said the household cleaning robot market is expected to return to steep growth levels after a slowdown during the pandemic as cost-conscious consumers deferred some discretionary higher-ticket purchases. Brandessence cited accelerating household penetration of Wi-Fi-enabled home automation and increasing new product development and competition for robotic floor cleaners with enhanced AI technology at more affordable prices— including smaller units with more specialized functions— as expected catalysts for post-pandemic growth in the category.
The Brandessence report suggests household cleaning robots also will see a lift in demand from their potential as cost-efficient alternatives to home cleaning services as more consumers resume busier away-from-home lifestyles.
