Newer home cleaning techniques
coupled with innovations in cleaning technology are the two main factors that
drive the global cleaning robots
market. Continuous technological developments and the need for mechanizing
tasks requiring human effort stimulate the demand for cleaning robots. The use
of cleaning robots saves time and effort. Mopping, cleaning, and vacuuming are
some of the key functions performed by cleaning robots.
The global cleaning robots market is anticipated to reach a
market value of US$1.8 billion by 2018 from US$676.4 million in 2011.
Innovation in the global cleaning robots market is brought about by continuous
improvements in the area of product development. Ongoing market trends indicate
that underperformance of the manufacturing industry, coupled with the growth of
futuristic industries, will contribute to the overall demand for affordable and
compact cleaning robots.
Educational, medical, service, and welfare functions are some of
the functionalities that most cleaning robots are equipped with. The demand for
cleaning robots is on the rise owing to the convenience they offer in today’s
hectic lifestyle.
Surging Demand for Vacuum Cleaners to Fuel Cleaning Robots
Market
The following are the parameters based on which the degree of
competition in the global cleaning robots market is ascertained: the overall
cost of system operation, the life of batteries, performance and efficiency,
and cost. Maintenance cost also plays a vital role in determining the
competition prevailing in the global cleaning robots market. The products
offered by the various companies in the cleaning robots market are judged on
the basis of reliability, brand, ease of use, reputation, quality, customer
support, and most importantly their compatibility with existing equipment.
Much of the demand for cleaning robots comes from the household
segment, fuelled by competitive prices and innovation. Growing global geriatric
population and a substantial rise in the population of working women further
adds to the surging demand for cleaning robots.
Within the product segments, vacuum cleaners hold the largest
share of the overall market. Furthermore, the segment for vacuum cleaners is
expected to expand robustly in the forecasting horizon.
Novelty: A Key Determinant of Market Success
Geographically, the global cleaning robots market is segmented
into Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, and Rest of the World. The segment
for robotic vacuums holds a 15% market penetration rate in North America,
Europe, and Asia. It is, however, anticipated that this figure will increase in
the forthcoming years owing to greater awareness amongst the masses about
enhanced cleaning technologies. At present, the cleaning robots market is
witnessing high demand for robotic vacuums because apart from creating a
dust-free environment, they also ensure allergen-free surroundings.
The key market participants in the cleaning robots market are
Philips, Toshiba, iRobot, LG, Ecovacs, Yujin, and Samsung. Most companies in
the global cleaning robots market rely on the principle of novelty that enables them to thrive and
acquire a fair share in the overall market. An area that most companies and
especially new market entrants need to focus on is developing cleaning robots
that are lightweight and make use of smaller batteries.
