Residential Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Market: Current Analysis and Forecast 2021-2027

Residential Robotic Vacuum Cleaner generated revenue of ~US$ 1,424.7 million in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 20% during the forecast period (2021-2027). A robotic vacuum cleaner, also known as Robovac or a Roomba is a floor cleaning system combined with sensors and robotic drivers and programmable controllers and cleaning routines. The earliest applications of the robotic vacuum cleaners included remote control and self-drive mode with which the machine can clean autonomously without the need of human control. There are many brands producing these devices with various alterations. Some designs can reach tight corners whereas others have multiple cleaning features as well as the vacuuming feature (e.g., UV sterilization, mopping, etc.). The latest models are even equipped with artificial intelligence and deep learning to better map object identification and event-based cleaning. The key marketing strategies include low noise, autonomous cleaning, and ease of use. Additionally, other advantages of robotic vacuums include their smaller size and lighter weight as compared to the traditional vacuums. The key downside of robotic vacuums is that they are slower and takes extended time to clean the area as they are also smaller in size. Also, they are a little more expensive.
This increase in demand of residential vacuum cleaners due to the advancements in technologies, AI feature, voice assistance, and Wi-Fi connectivity. Companies are focusing on increasing features like the addition of UV sterilization during the pandemic to meet the changing customer demands. Additionally, the latest robotic cleaners are compatible with Alexa and the Google voice assistant. Other connectivity like with smart hoe technology and IoT devices are opening new paths for robot manufacturers. For example, in December 2018, Neato Robotics launched Neato Zone Cleaning for the Botvac D7 Connected and No-Go Lines feature for Botvac D3 Connected with these consumers can highlight the area they want to be cleaned and create a no-go zone, respectively. This increases flexibility of robotic cleaning.
iRobot Corporation., Neato Robotics, Inc., Yujin Robot, Co., Ltd., Dyson Inc., Ecovacs Robotics, Inc., Hayward Industries, Inc., Philips Electronics N.V., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Pentair plc., and Milagrow Business & Knowledge Solutions (Pvt.) Limited are some of the prominent players operating in the Residential Robotic Vacuum Cleaner market. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.
Insights Presented in the Report
"Amongst Type, Hybrid Robots segment holds the major share"
Based on type, the residential robotic vacuum cleaner market is segmented into Cleaning Robots, Hybrid Robots, and Mopping Robots. Amongst type, the Hybrid Robots segment dominated the market in 2020. Hybrid robots contain both mopping and cleaning features. These days human lives have become very busy, especially for people living in the cities. Thus, it is hard to find time to clean their house with the traditional mop and vacuum.
"Amongst Type of Charging, Automatic Segment holds the major share"
Based on Type of Charging, the residential robotic vacuum cleaner market is segmented into Manual Charging and Automatic Charging. Amongst type of charging, automatic segment accounted for a major share in 2020. The automatically charging cleaners automatically go and connect to the charging station when discharged. The usual charge life of a robotic vacuum cleaner in 2-3 hours. For example, the Xiaomi roborock S5 max with a 14.4 V 5200 mAh Li-ion battery has battery life of 180 minutes.
"Amongst Distribution Channel, Online Segment holds the major share"
Based on Distribution Channel, the residential robotic vacuum cleaner market is segmented into Online and Offline. The sales of robotic vacuum cleaners for residential has been growing over the years. The highest number of sales were in 2020 due to the corona virus pandemic when the awareness about hygiene increased drastically.
"Amongst Operation, Self-Driven segment holds the major share"
Based on operation, the residential robotic vacuum cleaner market is segmented into Self-driven and Remote-controlled. Amongst operation, the self-driven segment dominated the market in 2020. Self-driven robot vacuums have lasers, sensors, and Wi-Fi to help them navigate throughout the house. They require no outside control or input at all which makes them the more popular option. In 2017, 23% of all the vacuum cleaners sold were robotic. This number has dramatically increased in 2020 with the covid 19 pandemic due to the increasing hygiene frenzy.
"Amongst End-User, Residential Segment holds the major share"
Based on end-user, the residential robotic vacuum cleaner market is segmented into residential and commercial. The commercial segment is further sub-segmented into hospitality, offices, healthcare, retail, and others. Robotic vacuum cleaners are still not that popular for commercial uses as they are small which means they take a long time to cover a large area. Due to this, vacuuming manually is much less time consuming and thus preferred in large commercial settings. On the other hand, resident is usually a smaller space and can easily be covered by the robotic vacuum in a sufficient amount of time.
