Robots for Commercial Buildings

Market Analysis and Forecasts for Robot Commercial Building Applications

Robots have been useful in taking on dangerous tasks and replacing humans in hazardous situations and unsanitary environments. Moreover, robots have slowly but steadily entered the commercial buildings space, supporting humans by taking on repetitive and tedious tasks.

Though the market for robots in commercial buildings is still nascent, robots have demonstrated their value by automating operational processes in several key commercial building verticals, namely in retail, restaurants, healthcare facilities, and airports. For instance, robots can be used to efficiently manage shelving in retail settings, clean and sterilize in hospitals, or collect dishes in restaurants. The rise of robot deployments for these use cases can be attributed to many technology improvements in areas such as distance measurement sensing, machine learning, and cloud computing.

This Guidehouse Insights report addresses market drivers, barriers, and trends for each application, including case studies and emerging business opportunities. Global market forecasts for revenue, by segment and region, extend through 2030. The report breaks down commercial building robot solutions by type: floor cleaning, disinfection, retail shelf management, restaurant serving, and other building services (delivery, parking, and security).
