The global environmental disinfection robots market size was USD 259.6 million in 2022 and market is projected to touch USD 763.1 million by 2031, exhibiting a Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7% during the forecast period.

Disinfection entails getting rid of germs and illnesses by employing radiation or a chemical process. Environmental disinfection robots employ powerful radiation to eradicate bacteria. The most corrosive form of UV radiation, short-frequency UVC, is used to disinfect surfaces by killing diseases and microorganisms. Environmental disinfection robots, which are utilised as part of the regular cleaning cycle, help to reduce and stop the spread of germs, illnesses, and other hazardous organic microorganisms in the environment by separating their RNA and DNA-structure. Robotic cleaning eliminates human mistake and is trustworthy, safe, and efficient. Additionally, these frameworks are easy to use. In order to avoid infections being transmitted there, emergency clinics generally utilise environmental disinfection robots.

Factors driving the development of the environmental disinfection robots market size include growing safety awareness, mindfulness about customary cleaning, an increasing need to prevent the spread of communicable infections, bacteria, infections, and various kinds of harmful organic microorganisms in the environment by separating their RNA and DNA-structure, and the COVID-19 infection episode, all of which are expected to push the development of the environmental disinfection robots market.

COVID-19 Impact: Environmental Disinfection Robots Market to See Huge Growth

The local market for environmental disinfection robots has benefited from the COVID-19 outbreak. Many countries in the region are signing agreements with vendors to purchase environmental disinfection robots in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19. For instance, the Danish company UVD Robots, a part of Blue Ocean Robotics, signed a contract with the Chinese company Sunay Healthcare Provide in March 2020 to supply more than 2,000 hospitals in China with environmental disinfection robots. The deployment of environmental cleaning robots by hospitals in Thailand to protect the health of overworked medical personnel on the front lines of the COVID-19 outbreak response was also made public in March 2020. The expected term will see a faster pace of environmental disinfection robots market share increase because of this.

Latest Trends

"Market to Expand as a Result of Developments in Deployment Techniques"

In addition to operating and maintaining environmental disinfection robots and instructing hospital staff, vendors give end-users the option of leasing the robots for a short or extended period of time. Additionally, robotics as a service (RaaS) involves a business model in which the vendor takes care of services like upgrading and maintenance while the robot is hired or leased on a monthly or hourly basis. It is predicted that the RaaS model that vendors employ would have a significant impact on the environmental disinfection robots market growth because more end users would opt to lease the product rather than buy a new environmental disinfection robot to avoid the high upfront cost. Additionally, because the big vendors are collaborating with local distributors to do so, this trend will help suppliers build a better market presence in emerging nations. Vendors are increasingly supplying refurbished robots to satisfy the needs of customers on a limited budget. These reasons will likely cause the market to grow over the projected period.

Driving Factors

"Changes In Cleaning Practises To Decrease Hospital Acquired Infections Are Driving The Global Market For Environmental Disinfection Robots (Hais)"

People's increased awareness of the harmful effects of HAIs has caused the environmental disinfection robots market to grow. These infections may appear during an admission, examination, therapy session, or recuperation. A few items that can transfer them include patients, visitors, medical equipment, the environment, and hospital staff. In addition, hospitals' focus on terminal cleaning, especially in those offering acute treatment, and developments in inpatient care are projected to have a significant influence on the environmental disinfection robots market growth as the general public's knowledge of HAIs develops. Additionally, healthcare facilities are fast modifying their cleaning practises to combat HAIs brought on by a range of multidrug-resistant bacteria, organisms, and spores, even while they still primarily use disinfectants for terminal cleaning. This had much more of an impact on how healthcare institutions used robots to sanitize their spaces. Another important aspect of the protocol adjustment is the requirement for cutting-edge technology to cope with germs that may become resistant to antibiotics and disinfectants.

"Growing Investments And An Increase In Infectious Diseases Zone Present Opportunities For Manufacturers Of Environmental Disinfection Robots"

It is thought that the spread of infectious illnesses can be stopped by disinfectant robots. The COVID-19 outbreak has successfully demonstrated how well these robots can clean hospitals and other public spaces. As a result, businesses are developing cutting-edge technologies with a variety of tailored disinfection robots for wide advantages across diverse places in order to fulfil global demand. Such advances are significantly expanding funds and expenditures in a variety of fields. For instance, the Memorial Hospital in Sweetwater County received around US$1.2 million in coronavirus relief funds from Wyoming's State Loan and Investment Board, of which approximately US$248,594 was allocated for UV robots. Therefore, these fundings and expenditures have accelerated the deployment of environmental disinfection robots across nations, which is likely to present profitable market entry prospects for manufacturers.

Restraining Factors

"A Significant Hurdle to Market Growth will be Threats from Competing Goods and a Lack of Regulatory Approval"

Due to the fact that businesses provide products with benefits like rapid cycle times and user friendliness in addition to features like safety features and data analytics, end users may pick from a number of devices to satisfy their environmental disinfection needs. Therefore, the availability of replacement goods, especially UV devices, presents a threat to the sector. For instance, Nevoa's Nimbus uses atomized hypochlorous acid to disinfect. The company partnered with German producer Dürr Systems to design and engineer the solution. The device uses sophisticated 3D computer modelling techniques to check atomization and ensure the dispersion of microburst solutions.

The need that suppliers deliver items in line with regulations and standards is another key obstacle to market growth. End users that prioritize regulatory compliance in their purchasing decisions are less likely to acquire environmental disinfection robots based on UV-C technology. These robots do not meet the EPA performance criterion and are not FDA-approved. These regulations must be followed in order for manufacturers of disinfection robots that use UV-C and HPV technologies to credibly claim that their products decontaminate rooms.

"Environmental Disinfection Robots Market will be dominated by North America"

The United States now holds the greatest environmental disinfection robots market share in North America for disinfection robots, and it is predicted that this market share will grow quickly over the following years. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) performed a study of acute care hospitals and found that 1 in 25 patients had at least one HAI, and that HAIs cause 75,000 mortalities yearly. In addition, between 5 and 10 percent of hospitalized patients develop a new sickness, and these illnesses claim the lives of millions of people each year around the world. The majority of hospitals have been compelled to make investments in robotic technology in order to combat the current COVID-19 pandemic and the sizable HAI patient population.

The U.K. holds a crucial position in Europe, with a market value of US$ 85.4 Mn in 2021 and a high CAGR predicted. The rising COVID-19 infection rate has an effect on the need for disinfection robots in the United Kingdom. Over the anticipated period, robotic disinfection systems will continue to be widely employed. This is because to the overwhelming rush by hospitals, businesses, airlines, and railway stations to adopt cutting-edge technology in order to uphold high standards throughout the pandemic.
