Household robots are replacing the human labor force owing to their consistency, productivity, and speed of getting the task done. In addition, repetitive work leads to a lack of interest and boredom, resulting in carelessness and unmotivated to do the job, which is avoided in the case of robots as they are programmed to do a specific task, which boosts the market growth.
Moreover, robots don’t require wages and leave while performing the task, which reduces the overhead expense, which is the primary factor driving the market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the growth of the household robots market. Negligible operations in the electronics industry led to delays in the production of robots across the world. In addition, stringent government law has resulted in the closure of international robots, significantly reducing the demand for household robots and their related commodities and hampering the market growth.
With the emerging technologies, manufacturer focus on developing robots with high endurance capability. The robots currently run-on nickel-metal hydride batteries due to less toxic metal and generation of high power, but this helps robots to run only for fewer hours. Most manufacturers are looking forward to switching to Li-ion batteries as they can be charged quickly and run longer.

Growth Drivers
Global household robots are likely to be driven by the growing adoption of autonomous technology, which reduces human intervention. The rising demand for autonomous robot with voice and remote chat assistance across developing and developed economies are expected to spur market growth.
In addition, autonomous robot vacuums are replacing conventional vacuums, which require manual charging and switching, which are now converted to self-charge and are assisted with voice commands, increasing the sale of household robots.
Moreover, many household robots are now equipped with AI and efficient navigation features. Such robots help work in the dark and can deal with obstacles. Furthermore, this robot could be connected to Wi-Fi and smart devices such as Alexa and google assistant to have two-way communication.
For instance, amazon launched a robot, namely Amazon Astro, which could be connected to smartphones and helps monitor and receive real-time alerts remotely. These robot helps to identify clingers such as mirror, walls, and doors to avoid any obstacles while performing the task; such factors propel the market growth.
The market is primarily segmented based on offering, type, distribution channel, by application, and region.
