Clean Room Robot Market

Global Clean Room Robot Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The global clean room robot market was worth USD 5.38 billion in 2023. The global market is predicted to reach USD 6.03 billion in 2024 and USD 14.93 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 12% during the forecast period.

Clean room robots are made from corrosion-resistant materials and are designed to minimize particulate emissions and prevent surface contamination in production processes. They are designed to have the fewest number of cracks to prevent dust build-up and to facilitate cleaning and maintenance. Such an arrangement allows the robot to maintain the strict specifications required to stay in a clean room environment. The use of cleanroom robots is a guaranteed quality control methodology, which ensures product safety, feasibility, and prevention of adverse events. Cleanliness is a basic requirement of the home, essential in daily life, and consumes time and energy. The robot cleaner is an approach to making cleaning efficient and easy and bringing convenience to humans. The Clean Room robots help detect the position of the area to be cleaned, estimate the path to reach the detected position, and clean the area with an attached vacuum cleaner. Cleaning is one of the basic needs of the home, and it must be done regularly. Cleaning consumes time and energy. The robot cleaner is a self-contained robot designed to clean lawns, windows, floors, and more. It is also used in UV sterilization, cleaning, and other domestic and industrial applications. People with disabilities can use these Clean Room robots as a substitute for expensive cleaning services. Technological improvements have made robots more intellectual and can detect different amounts of dirt in different places.

MARKET DRIVERS

The smaller size and the capability to fit in a limited space compared to traditional robots are key factors in adopting clean room robots around the world.

Robot cleaners can also clean in hazardous environments where human entry could prove fatal. These robots save time and labor costs because one machine can do the work of multiple workers in less time. It is one of the factors driving the demand for Clean Room robots around the world. In addition, technological advancement, especially in display and sensing equipment, is expected to trigger the growth of the Clean Room robotics market during the forecast period. The emergence of futuristic robotics supports the innovation of lower cost, smaller size, and advanced technology, such as clean room robots. However, low battery life and durability issues are some of the factors hampering the growth of the global Clean Room robotics market.

Manufacturers of end-effectors develop robotic grippers, welding guns, and screwdrivers for robots. The food and beverage industry is expected to experience growth during the forecast period. Indeed, companies are working to prepare for future pandemics like COVID-19, reducing pollution caused by humans. In the food industry, robots are mainly used for main packaging (loading food products into their containers). Therefore, robots generally have a payload capacity of up to 10 kg.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Clean Room Robot Market

COVID-19, a deadly disease that originated in China, has now turned into a global pandemic and had affected the clean room robot market. Due to this pandemic, first quarter 2020 sales for Clean Room robot manufacturers like FANUC (Japan), YASKAWA (Japan), ABB (Switzerland), KUKA (Germany), and Mitsubishi Electric (Japan) decreased by 7%, 14%, 21%, 19%, and 9%, respectively.

The food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries did not experience a sharp drop in demand; however, due to a shortage of workers, industries have struggled to meet demand. Therefore, to be prepared to face situations like COVID-19 in the future, companies should adopt more robots and be less dependent on humans. Other industries, such as electrical and electronics and aerospace, have seen a drop in demand due to the financial crisis generated by the coronavirus. With the rise in hygiene standards due to COVID-19, the demand for Clean Room robots is expected to increase in industries such as food and beverage and pharmaceuticals.
