Factors such as rapid industrialization and technological advancements are contributing to the regional market growth.
Global Social Robots Market Growth, by Region 2023-2030
North America is anticipated to Hold a Significant Share in the Global Social Robots Market
Among all the regions, North America is anticipated to hold a significant market share in the global social robots market. The region has witnessed early adoption and significant investments in robotics and AI technologies. For instance, in May 2023, Figure, a startup that works to build general-purpose humanoid robots, raised $70 million from investors led by Parkway Venture Capital in its first external round. The new funding will be used to accelerate the development and manufacturing of the company’s upcoming autonomous humanoid. Further, the expansion of market players to the North America region to cater to the rising demand is anticipated to propel the growth of social robots in the region. For instance, in January 2022, Furhat Robotics, acquired the business assets of Colorado-based social robotics startup Misty Robotics, creators of the social robot, Misty. The acquisition establishes an American base of operations for Furhat Robotics and will enable further expansion and development of the next generation of social robots utilizing both the Furhat and Misty robots and teams.
Market Players Outlook
