by The global Disinfectant Robot Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1277.94 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 35% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Disinfectant robots use ultraviolet (UV-C) light technology to clean complex indoor environments. Disinfectant robots have autonomous navigation features allowing them to move around rooms to disinfect large areas quickly without human intervention. These robots can effectively disinfect various indoor spaces including hospitals, hotels, offices, schools, colleges, trade show facilities, and more.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the disinfectant robot market is increasing adoption in healthcare facilities. Healthcare facilities worldwide are deploying disinfectant robots to help curb the spread of hospital-acquired infections. According to the CDC, around 1.7 million hospital-associated infections occur annually in the U.S., leading to around 99,000 associated deaths. Deploying disinfectant robots in healthcare facilities helps healthcare staff focus on patient care while automated disinfection helps reduce infection risk. Furthermore, rising awareness about benefits of UV disinfection and autonomous disinfectant robots is also fueling the adoption of these robots across various industry verticals for ensuring better indoor environmental safety and hygiene. One of the key trends in the disinfectant robot market is the increasing adoption of ultraviolet (UV) light technology for deep disinfection purposes. UV light based robots can disinfect a wide range of surfaces without using harsh chemicals. They leverage UV-C light wavelength of 200 to 280 nm that destroys the DNA and RNA of viruses and bacteria. UV light disinfection is considered highly effective against pathogens and is suitable for disinfecting healthcare facilities. With the growth of hospital acquired infections, demand for automated UV light disinfection robots is growing significantly.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: UV light disinfection technology provides chemical-free disinfection and is effective against superbugs and viruses.
Weakness: High initial investment requirement for UV disinfection robots.
Opportunity: Increasing focus on infection control in healthcare facilities and outbreak of diseases like COVID-19 is driving deployment of disinfection robots.
Threats: Limitations of UV light in shadowed areas and on non-line-of-sight surfaces. Potential job losses in cleaning workforce.
Key Takeaways
The Global Disinfectant Robot Market Size is expected to witness high growth, exhibiting CAGR of 35% over the forecast period, due to increasing need to control spread of hospital acquired infections. The market size for 2023 is US$ 1277.94 Mn.
