Advancements in robotics and AI technologies and the
urgency driven by infectious diseases is expected to drive the Global Disinfection
Robots Market growth in the forecast period, 2024-2028.
According to TechSci Research report, “Disinfection
Robots Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast
& Opportunities, 2028”, the Global Disinfection Robots Market stood at
USD 2.84 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 19.65% in
the forecast period, 2024-2028. This can be attributed to expanding application
across industries. While initially, disinfection robots found their primary
utility in healthcare settings, they are now being adopted across a wide range
of industries. These include hospitality, retail, education, transportation,
and manufacturing. As businesses and institutions prioritize the safety and
well-being of their customers, employees, and students, disinfection robots
have emerged as a versatile tool for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. Furthermore,
as the market diversifies, disinfection robots are becoming more customizable
to meet the specific needs of different industries. Manufacturers are offering
solutions that can be tailored to the unique requirements of healthcare,
hospitality, education, and manufacturing, among others. Customization will
become a defining feature of the market.

The rapid expansion of the market is largely driven by
the increasing demand for disinfection robots in hospitals as a means to
effectively control the transmission of infectious diseases. Hospitals and
healthcare facilities have come to recognize the vital role that these robots
play in establishing a secure and hygienic environment for patients, staff, and
visitors. Disinfection robots offer a dependable and efficient solution,
capable of covering extensive areas and reaching surfaces that may be challenging
for manual cleaning. Their versatility in deploying various disinfection
methods, such as UV-C light or chemical sprays, enhances their effectiveness in
eradicating pathogens. As hospitals place a premium on infection prevention,
the demand for disinfection robots continues to surge, charting a robust growth
trajectory rooted in the imperative of safeguarding health and safety within
medical settings.
Furthermore, Hospital-acquired infections are
responsible for approximately 37,000 fatalities in Europe and nearly 100,000 in
the U.S. The financial burden of treating these infections amounts to about USD
7.5 billion in Europe and USD 6.5 billion in the U.S. Ultraviolet disinfection
robots offer a promising solution, capable of eliminating up to 99.9% of
microorganisms within a hospital room in just 10 minutes. While the room needs
to be unoccupied during disinfection, the UV rays have no harmful effects. The
shortage of healthcare personnel in hospitals is another substantial factor
propelling market growth. With increasing demands, hospitals often struggle to
allocate sufficient staff for meticulous cleaning and disinfection tasks.
Disinfection robots step in to bridge this gap by offering an automated and
efficient solution.
These robots can operate tirelessly and consistently,
reducing the dependence on manual labor for disinfection procedures. By
addressing the workforce shortage issue, disinfection robots ensure that
hospitals can uphold optimal cleanliness and infection control measures,
ultimately contributing to patient safety and operational efficiency. The
COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly accelerated the adoption of disinfection robots,
expanding their use beyond healthcare settings such as hospitals to places like
hotels, airports, and public transportation. Concurrently, the increase in
antibiotic-resistant infections underscores the importance of infection
prevention, especially within medical facilities. According to IFR World
Robotics, sales of professional cleaning robots surged by 20% to 55 million in
2019 compared to the previous year, and this growth trend is expected to
continue due to the global impact of COVID-19.
Nonetheless, despite the potential advantages of
disinfection robots, there are certain challenges to overcome. One of the
primary concerns is the cost associated with maintaining and implementing these
advanced robots. Despite the initial high costs, proponents argue that
long-term benefits in patient care and operational efficiency will outweigh the
expenses. Additionally, there are concerns about the possibility of job
displacement for the human workforce as robots assume more tasks. Nevertheless,
experts anticipate that the integration of mobile robotics will lead to new
roles in system development, maintenance, and operation, countering potential
job losses.
The Global Disinfection Robots Market is segmented
into type, technology, end-use, regional distribution, and company.
Based on its type, the ultraviolet light robot sector
emerged as the primary revenue contributor in 2022 and is projected to exhibit
the highest CAGR throughout the forecast period. These robots employ
ultraviolet (UV) light, particularly UV-C light, to eliminate a broad spectrum
of harmful microorganisms, encompassing bacteria and viruses. UV-C light has
undergone extensive research due to its germicidal characteristics, capable of
deactivating pathogens by disassembling their DNA and RNA, rendering them nonfunctional.
They deliver consistent and comprehensive disinfection without the need for
chemical agents, thereby mitigating the risk of human error and potential
exposure to hazardous substances. Furthermore, UV robots excel in swiftly
disinfecting large surfaces and areas, significantly reducing the time required
for manual cleaning and disinfection.
Additionally, the introduction of technologically
advanced disinfection robots by leading market players to maintain their
competitive advantage is further propelling market growth. For instance, the
TMiRob, developed by the Chinese company Taimi Robotics Technology, provides a
versatile disinfection solution with three distinct methods: UV, hydrogen
peroxide, and plasma air filtration. These methods can be applied independently
or in combination, depending on specific disinfection requirements. Notably, certain
disinfection robots, such as those produced by the Indian manufacturer Milagrow
and the collaboration between Siemens and the Chinese partner Aucma,
incorporate caterpillar tracks for enhanced mobility, enabling them to navigate
challenging terrains and inclines. This innovative feature expands the
operational versatility of disinfection robots beyond the conventional wheeled
models.
Based on end-use, the hospital sector emerged as the
dominant force in the market, securing the largest share of revenue in 2022.
Hospitals typically feature intricate layouts encompassing diverse rooms and
surfaces that necessitate regular and comprehensive disinfection. Disinfection
robots offer a methodical and efficient approach to covering extensive areas,
including those that are hard to access, a task that can be quite challenging
for manual cleaning techniques. Furthermore, the pressing concerns associated
with healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and the imperative to minimize the
risk of cross-contamination have further accelerated the integration of
disinfection robots within hospital settings. These robots introduce a
consistent and standardized disinfection process, thus reducing the potential
for human errors and elevating overall hygiene standards.
On the other hand, the clinics sector is poised to
experience the swiftest CAGR over the forecasted period. Clinics often contend
with the demand for additional staff resources, with healthcare professionals
deeply engaged in patient care and other critical responsibilities.
Disinfection robots present an automated solution that complements the existing
cleaning protocols, thereby allowing staff to concentrate on patient care.
Additionally, clinics, especially those specializing in specific medical treatments
or procedures, necessitate a high standard of cleanliness and hygiene to
mitigate post-treatment infections. Disinfection robots deliver consistent and
thorough disinfection, thus reducing the potential for cross-contamination and
enhancing the overall quality of care provided.
