Search and Rescue Robots Market

Search and Rescue Robots Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report, By Type (Land, Marine, and Aerial), By Operation Type (Autonomous and Remotely Operated), By End-User (Defense and Homeland Security), Forecast Period (2022-2028)
    Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030   

Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2026922 | Category : Advanced Technologies | Delivery Format: /

Search and rescue robots market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 21.1% during the forecast period. One of the core factors that is fuelling the market is the growing advanced technologies. The integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, sensors, actuators, and more has intensified the applications of robots in the past few years. The addition of AI in robotics makes it easier to actuate the process of searching for victims and sources of threat. In the near term, these robots can patrol the water or air autonomously without any human support. In the upcoming year, with such demand, robots and drones for search and rescue could be smaller, smarter, cost-effective, and more versatile with better tech and large production. 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Search and Rescue Robots Market

COVID-19 pandemic restricted the workflow of production, supply chain, transportation, and others which had impacted the market growth of search and rescue robots, just like many other markets. Key market players such as Thales also faced a decline in the demand for the product by 7.7% in 2020 as compared to the sales in 2019. However, the situation also invited the idea of using robots more often in dangerous conditions. Multiple countries used robots for delivering medicines, and essential goods to the people during the lockdown, which has also increased the demand for robots in search and rescue missions exponentially as the situation got normal. 

Segmental Outlook 

The global search and rescue robots market is segmented based on the type, operation type, and end-user. Based on the type, the market is segmented into land, marine, and aerial. Based on the operation type, the market is segmented into autonomous and remotely operated. Based on the end-user, the market is segmented into defense and homeland security. The above-mentioned segments can be customized as per the requirements. Based on end-user, the defense segment is anticipated to hold the prominent share in the market while based on operation type, a remotely operated segment is estimated to dominate the market during the forecast period. 

Defense Segment Anticipated to Hold the Prominent Share in the Global Search and Rescue Robots Market

Based on end-user, the defense segment is estimated to hold a prominent share in the market during the forecast period owing to the increasing tensions between countries such as China, the US, India, Pakistan, Russia, Ukraine, and others in the past few years. For instance, in February 2022, Russia attacked Ukraine. This has increased the concern demand for search and rescue robots in the defense for securing officials while surveillance on the borders of land, marine, and aerial. These robots are highly usable in war situations to find injured officials and save them by providing essential goods, and medicines at the correct time. 

Regional Outlook

The global search and rescue robots market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa and Latin America).  The market can be analyzed for a particular region or country level as per the requirement. Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the fastest rate in the market during the forecast period. The rising investment in robotics from the prominent countries in the region is driving the market growth in the region. As the segment is emerging at a high rate in most of the economies in the region, the market is showing vast potential for growth in the upcoming years. For instance, in 2019, the Chinese government-financed $577 million for the advancement of intelligent robots, as part of the Made in China 2025 campaign. Moreover, in Japan, the budget for 2019 was $351 million for robotics was announced with the new Japan Robot Strategy to highlight Japan as the robot innovation hub across the globe. while South Korea’s budget in 2020 was $126 million for robotics.
