Robots-as-a-Service Market by Type (Industrial, Commercial, Domestic), End User (Agriculture, Healthcare, Hospitality, Search & Rescue, Transportation & Logistics, Gardening, Professional Cleaning, Other End users), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2030

The Robots-as-a-Service Market is projected to reach $8.4 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 16.7% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2030. The growth of this market is attributed to the rising use of RaaS in healthcare for efficient processes in clinical settings and surgical assistance, growing preference for RaaS over other automation software due to an increase in scalability, flexibility and reduced cost in the long run, and increasing adoption of RaaS in the manufacturing sector. In addition, increasing automation across various sectors such as hospitality, agriculture, rising focus on reducing human labor, and the emergence of Industry 5.0 are expected to offer significant opportunities for the growth of this market.

However, the lack of mobility and safety issues with robots while working with other industrial systems is a major challenge to the growth of this market.

Rising Use Of RaaS in Healthcare for Efficient Processes in Clinical Settings and Surgical Assistance

RaaS has emerged as a valuable solution for clinical settings and surgical assistance in healthcare, revolutionizing how medical professionals deliver care and perform complex procedures. Robots used in healthcare settings are equipped with advanced sensors, imaging technologies, and precision tools, enabling precise movements and accurate measurements. This level of precision can significantly improve surgical outcomes and diagnostic procedures, reducing the risk of errors and complications.        

Furthermore, RaaS allows for teleoperation, enabling surgeons to perform procedures remotely with the help of robotic systems. This technology can transform healthcare by enabling remote consultations and surgeries, particularly in underserved areas. For instance, teleoperated robotic systems “CorPath GRX” in interventional cardiology. This technology enables cardiologists to remotely guide catheters during procedures, improving access to specialized care in remote areas and enhancing patient outcomes. Robots like the TUG autonomous mobile robot are also employed in hospitals to transport medications, supplies, and lab samples, reducing manual handling and freeing healthcare staff for more critical tasks. Thus, ongoing advancements in robotics, AI, and medical imaging technologies are driving the growth of RaaS in healthcare.

Key Findings in the Robots-as-a-Service Market Study:

In 2024, the Industrial Segment is Expected to Dominate the Robots-as-a-Service Market
