The new-age technological advancements in humanoids, including facial and emotional recognition, are a growing trend in the global market.
The recently developed technologies in artificial intelligence and machine learning segment have facilitated the incorporation of humanoid robots into consumer contact roles through the provision of enhanced facial recognition, speech, and emotion recognition capabilities. This technological advancement is taking place in conjunction with the smartphone, the internet, and social media emerging as predominant channels for consumer interaction.
The rapid pace of technological advancement has led to the widespread integration of these robots into diverse sectors, including education and entertainment. The most recent AI Adoption Index study indicates that investments in India's artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities are expanding at a staggering growth rate of 31.8%. With its enhanced artificial intelligence and anthropomorphic exterior, a humanoid robot makes it easy to educate individuals with accurate and consistent data. Its efficacy is probable in vaccination centers across the globe. In the case of administering hundreds of vaccines per day, a social robot's ability to repeat information allows personnel to concentrate on other critical duties.
Software, hardware, and algorithm innovation were among the many areas in which substantial R&D investments are made to develop a technologically advanced robot. Such advanced humanoid robots possess the ability to perceive three-dimensional space and identify individuals, gestures, and expressions, thereby enabling them to perceive and process their surroundings. Several humanoid robot companies are trying to utilize such high-end technology to manufacture advanced humanoid military robots, which is eventually helping the market grow. Humanoid robot manufacturers are employing state-of-the-art technology for their communication with the outside world and are trying to assimilate it with an AI vocal emotion detection engine and a self-designed MiAI environment recognition engine, which enables the humanoid robot to identify 85 distinct types of environmental sounds and 45 categories of human emotions. With the advent and the ongoing trend of such high-end technology, the global humanoid robots market is sailing on the profitable waves to reach its all-time high revenue generation.
The global humanoid robots market is primarily segmented on the basis of motion, components and applications.
The global humanoid robots market is primarily studied across four major regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Rest of the World. Out of these, the Asia-Pacific region dominates the global market share of other regions. Considering the fact that the APAC market owes a major market share of about 52% in the year 2022 and played a crucial role in the overall growth of the global humanoid robots market. Japan, South Korea, and China are significant contributors to the regional market in the APAC. The Asia-Pacific region experiences significant product adoption as a result of the presence of key manufacturing companies. Additionally, the APAC region stands out as one of the most vital regions for the said market with the presence of prominent companies such as Robotis from Korea, Softbank from Japan, Invento Robotics from India, and other enterprises that have achieved advancements in the field of humanoids. There is a growing demand for humanoid robots in the aerospace industry, and The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) initiated its human spaceflight program in January 2020 with the objective of launching its first astronauts into space by 2022.
Followed by the Asia-Pacific region, the North American region also had a substantial market share and is said to witness the highest growth rate of 21% during the forecast period. North America is home to an abundance of leading robotics companies and research institutions that have been instrumental in the development of humanoid robot technology. In the United States and Canada, humanoid robots have been implemented in numerous sectors, including healthcare, education, entertainment, and research and development. Businesses and organizations in North America are currently exploring the potential of humanoid robots to assist with medical procedures, enhance learning environments, and improve consumer experiences. The prosperous growth of the regional market is anticipated to be attributable to the region's outstanding robotics research facilities, supportive government initiatives, and strong academic-industry collaborations.
Apart from these important regions, Europe is also expected to witness substantial growth and earn a substantial market share, growing as one of the top revenue-grossing regions in the global humanoid robots market owing to the presence of major automotive companies.
