Market Dynamics:

Driver:

The technological advancements in the field of robotic vacuum cleaners to improve functionality and performance are driving the growth of the market. The advancement in navigation systems such as lasers, cameras, and sensors, to map out the environment and avoid obstacles leads to more efficient and effective cleaning. Also, the improvement in suction technology such as advanced brush systems, including dual brushes or tangle-free brushes to improve cleaning performance and reduce maintenance requirements is boosting the market growth. For instance, in September 2020, Neato Robotics announced the launch of new range of smart robot vacuum cleaners at IFA 2020 namely the Neato D8, D9, and D10. The Neato D10 captures up to 99.97 percent of allergens and particles such as dust and dander.

Restraint:

Residential robotic vacuum cleaners have a short battery life and the batteries degrade over time as compared to the traditional vacuum cleaners that consume AC or DC power sources. Also, the cost of replacement of batteries is high which in turn hampers the adoption of robotic vacuum cleaners.

Opportunity

The integrated approach of using residential robotic vacuum cleaners with smart home technology to create a more convenient and efficient cleaning experience is expected to create lucrative opportunities for market growth. The integration allow users to control the robotic vacuums using voice commands, through a mobile app, or even through smart home devices including Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Further, the integration also allows users to control a wide range of features including starting or stopping the vacuum, scheduling cleaning times, and adjusting suction power.

Residential robotic vacuum cleaner Market Segmentation:



By Type

The type segment is separated into floor, window, and pool. The floor segment dominates the market and generates the highest revenue in 2021. Hard floorings such as tiles and hardwood are becoming increasingly popular in homes, making floor robotic vacuum cleaners more relevant, especially for people with a busy lifestyle. For instance, in February 2020, LG Electronics USA announced additions to its vacuum portfolio to offer powerful, convenient cleaning options for every lifestyle. For hands-free housework, the LG CordZero ThinQ Robotic Vacuum (model R975GM) was launched to deliver deep cleaning with powerful suction,
The window type is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growing adoption of large and aesthetically appealing windows in homes, resulting in the need for effective and convenient window cleaning, which in turn increases the demand for window robotic vacuum cleaners. Also, window vacuums eliminate the need for manual cleaning, which is dangerous, especially for windows located in high-rise buildings.

By Charging

The charging segment is bifurcated into manual charging and auto-battery charging. The manual segment contributes the largest share in terms of revenue to the market growth. The manual charging requires manual intervention to charge the battery by removing the vacuum from the docking station and plugging into a wall outlet. Such a charging method is simple and reliable and does not offer any complex charging dock or sensors as seen in auto-battery charging. Also, with manual charging, consumers have the option to fully charge the battery before each use that results in longer battery life.

The auto-battery charging segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the changing lifestyle especially the working individuals who prefer automatic charging of vacuum cleaners. The adoption of smart home technology has also increased the demand for auto-charging robotic vacuum cleaners that are controlled and monitored remotely using a smartphone app or smart home assistant. Such adoption allows the user to schedule cleaning sessions, monitor the vacuums progress, and receive notifications when the battery is low and needs to be charged.

By Operation

The operation segment is divided into self-drive and remote control. The remote control segment generated the maximum revenue in 2021 and dominates the market. Remote control robotic vacuum cleaners are operated via remote control or a smartphone app and allow users to schedule cleaning sessions, control the movements of the robot, and monitor the cleaning progress from a distance. Remote control vacuums are ideal for individuals who prefer to have more control over the cleaning process and want the ability to spot clean specific areas.

The self-drive segment is projected to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period due to minimal human intervention, making self-drive vacuums convenient for busy individuals who want a hands-free cleaning solution. Also, the technology used in self-drive robotic vacuums such as navigation systems, sensors, and algorithms to navigate through the home, map the space and clean thoroughly has improved dramatically in recent years. For instance, in April 2022, Ecovacs Robotics launched Deebot X1 Omni, a self-drive robotic vacuum cleaner that segregates sewage and clean water, allows the automatic washing & drying of mop cloths, and replenishes clean water itself.

By Distribution Channel

The market can be segmented by distribution channel into offline and online. The offline channel dominates the market in terms of revenue as the product is available in a wide range of retail stores including electronics stores, department stores, and home appliance stores. The offline channel holds a significant advantage as customers exhibit a preference for physical product testing before purchase, particularly for expensive items such as robotic vacuum cleaners. Offline stores provide the opportunity for customers to interact with the product, understand product features and functionality, and make informed decisions.

The online segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This is attributed to the shift in customer behavior of shopping online through e-commerce websites, online marketplaces, and mobile applications and having the product delivered to the door. Also, the advent of the pandemic surged an increase in the online sales of residential robotic vacuum cleaners due to the rising demand for hygiene and home sanitation to prevent the spread of the virus. For instance, residential robotic vacuums are marketed globally through e-commerce platform such as Amazon and Alibaba.

By Region

North America dominates the market and contributes to generating maximum market share. The growing awareness of health and wellness leads to an increased demand for home cleaning products, which in turn promotes the growth of robotic vacuum cleaners. Also, the growing adoption of technology in North America has led to the development of more advanced and feature-rich residential robotic vacuum cleaners. For instance, many manufacturers now offer robotic vacuum equipped with mapping technology that allows the device to navigate around furniture and other obstacles, ensuring that it covers the entire floor.



Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the residential robotic vacuum cleaner market registering the fastest CAGR. The growth is attributed due to the presence of key companies including ECOVACS, Samsung, LG Electronics, and Panasonic Corporationamong others in the region. The companies uses strategic partnerships, product launches and acquisition to strengthen the position in the market.
