Today's topic: The professional service robot sales reached 200,000 units in 2024.
Staff shortages are driving companies to adopt robots operated by trained professionals. At the same time, an ageing population is lifting demand for medical robots. These findings come from the World Robotics 2025 Service Robots report by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).
“There is strong demand for service robots in a number of different application areas,” says Takayuki Ito, President of the International Federation of Robotics. “In order to integrate automation without making a heavy upfront investment, more-and-more companies are deciding to enter into subscription or rental agreements rather than purchasing robots outright. The robot-as-a-service fleet (RaaS) has grown impressively by 31%.”
