The service robot industry is more diverse and less tangible than the industrial robot industry. IFR Statistical Department is currently aware of 975 service robot producers worldwide. This excludes prototyping services and system integrators. Many companies are still in the funding or prototyping stage and intend to offer a marketable product in the future.In 2022, worldwide sales of professional service robot grew by 48%. Almost 158,000 sold units were registered by IFR Statistical Department. The size of the RaaS fleet grew by 50% to more than 21,000 units.Mobile robot solutions are already established in transportation and logistics (AP5) with 44% more units sold in 2022. More than every other professional service robot sold in 2022 was built for the transportation of goods or cargo. Traditional sales remain the main channel of monetarization, but RaaS business models enjoy growing popularity: The RaaS fleet grew by 67% in 2022. Hospitality robots (AP8) enjoy growing popularity. Sales were up 125% in 2022 and the RaaS fleet size is growing rapidly. Sales of medical robots (AP6) were down 4%. Robotics is an important part of digitalization in agriculture (AP1) with sales being up 18% in 2022. There is a lot of research and development to use robots for the cultivation (AP11) of plants and crops and the number of marketable products is growing. Demand for professional cleaning robots (AP2) grew by 8%. In the application group of search and rescue and security robots (AP7) sales were up 18%. It is mainly security that can be conducted autonomously, while other search and rescue rather relies on remote-controlled robotic devices with limited autonomy. There are several robotic devices for inspection and maintenance (AP3) available, but the portfolio of robots that conduct inspection and maintenance tasks autonomously is still limited. Service robots for construction or demolition (AP4) tasks constitute a niche market. Hardly any sales were reported to IFR Statistical Department.
