Consumer robots are defined as robotic products purchased by individuals, which are used to assist, entertain, or educate in the home. This study examines the largest subset of the overall consumer robotics sector—the home care robotics marketplace. Home care robotics are autonomous or semi-autonomous robotics technologies that maintain the home environment. For this study, robotic home care products were further segmented into four distinct groups based on their general function:
Market forecasts include shipments, ASPs, and revenue, and are segmented by region and home care type (floor care, lawn care, pool care, and others). Floor care robot forecasts are segmented by vacuum cleaner, floor mopper, and others. The attach rate key technologies and shipments of enabled products are segmented by home care type. Shipments of each floor care type are also segmented by primary navigation technology enabler (no navigation/random, camera-based navigation, LIDAR-based navigation, and others). Finally, shipment market share and shipments are provided for the total consumer home care robot market, the floor care robot market, the lawn care robot market, and the pool care robot market.
