Disinfection Robots Market Fundamentals
Disinfection robots are devices designed to disinfect surfaces using ultraviolet (UV) radiation, disinfectant sprays, or a combination. Hospital-acquired infections have long been a serious concern in the healthcare profession. Every year, millions of people become sick, and many die due to infections acquired in the hospital. Robots are machines that humans have trained to do tasks and navigate themselves through space and time on their own. The most extensively used technology focuses on surface disinfection using ultraviolet (UV)-C light. All UV-disinfection robots provide non-touch disinfection by irradiation of sufficient intensity to kill microorganisms but without mechanical removal of dirt or biological material, including bacteria and viruses.
UV-C radiation with a wavelength of 254 nm is bactericidal, sporicidal, fungicidal, and virucidal. A known disadvantage of UV-C light is shadowing, which occurs when some surfaces are not exposed due to blockage or inaccessibility. UV-C intensity is greatly reduced by shadowing and distance, limiting an efficient disinfection procedure. According to the present research, UV-C disinfection systems may effectively minimize microbial contamination in in-vitro conditions. Because of its well-documented antimicrobial action, UV-C can be a viable alternative to solution-based solutions in the low availability of standard surface disinfectants. Manual cleaning and disinfection are variable since efficacy is highly dependent on individuals and their motivation, and quantifying this necessitates on-site observation. Despite best practice guidelines, manual cleaning in each hospital relies on local procedures, cleaning staff training, understanding, renewal, turnover, management, and inspection of their performance.
Moreover, the UV-C robot's advantages include robotic disinfection in an automated and standardized manner, eliminating the requirement for continual human presence at the disinfection site. As a result, hazardous UV radiation exposure to healthcare professionals can be avoided during the process. UV-C, as a last disinfection step after manual washing and disinfection, gives an extra hygienic advantage by minimizing cross-transmission and healthcare-associated diseases. Since UV radiation leaves no traces, it is an environmentally acceptable disinfection technique.

Disinfection Robots Market Dynamics
The growing demand from the healthcare industry, with its large requirement for thorough disinfection of healthcare facilities, is boosting the global market revenue growth. Furthermore, the simplicity and convenience robots provide when cleaning rooms, equipment, and so on are extremely easy to train and operate while delivering zero faults in disinfection and cleaning, which is expected to drive demand for the global disinfection robots market. Disinfection robots are mobile robots that may move on their own or with the assistance of an operator. Due to the pandemic of COVID-19, the usage of disinfection robots has expanded beyond hospitals to public transit and other public venues such as shopping malls in recent years. The frequency of hospital-acquired illnesses and the advantages of disinfection robots over manual disinfection are the primary reasons driving the market revenue worldwide. Furthermore, growing economies and technical breakthroughs in robotics are expected to give substantial potential for market revenue growth during the forecast period.
The industry is most interested in mobile robots that can UV-sanitize sectors. The market under consideration will grow due to increased demand for service robots, notably in the healthcare sector. Sanitation and disinfection have become a major problem, particularly in densely inhabited locations such as hospitals, restaurants, hotels, airports, and schools. As a result, the industry is seeing more enterprises and institutions migrate to automation for disinfection applications, resulting in robot investments. Higher disinfecting robot expenses are related to effective and strong hardware and efficient software. Automation equipment requires a larger capital investment to invest in automation technology.
Disinfection Robots Market Ecosystem
The global disinfection robots market is analyzed from four perspectives by type, technology, end-user, and region.
Disinfection Robots Market by Type
[97557]
Based on type, the global disinfection robots market is segmented into ultraviolet light disinfection robots, disinfectant spraying robots, and combined system disinfection robots.
The ultraviolet light disinfection robots segment is expected to dominate the global disinfection robots market in terms of revenue share due to the growing awareness of hospital-acquired diseases, the efficiency of UV-C irradiation to disinfect surfaces, and the increased demand for disinfection and sanitation during the COVID-19 pandemic all contribute to this segment's substantial market share.
Disinfection Robots Market by Technology
Based on technology, the global disinfection robot market is segmented into fully autonomous and semi-autonomous disinfection robots.
The fully autonomous disinfection robots segment is expected to account for the largest revenue share in the global disinfection robot market. This segment's huge market revenue share is due to the low manual contact required to operate these robots and their efficient disinfection procedure.
Disinfection Robots Market by End-User
Based on end-user, the global disinfection robots market is segmented into hospitals, the transportation industry, hospitality, and others.
Hospitals are expected to account for the largest revenue share in the global disinfection robots market. The high prevalence of healthcare-acquired infections and their high economic burden, rising healthcare expenditures, growing awareness about the benefits of disinfection robots, and increased adoption of disinfection robots in healthcare facilities as a protective measure against the COVID-19 outbreak all contribute to this segment's large market revenue share.
Disinfection Robots Market by Region
Based on region, the global disinfection robots market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.
North America has the largest regional market revenue share and the greatest disinfection robots market revenue share. This is due to technical improvements in that area. Furthermore, the growing demand for automated devices in healthcare and industrial facilities propels market revenue expansion. Also, severe cleanliness regulations imposed by the government in this region are driving up the usage of disinfectant robots. Furthermore, these robots assist in minimizing labor costs, enhancing cleaning efficiency, and reducing the risk of infectious germs, which has promoted their acceptance in various North American industries.
The Asia Pacific region is rapidly becoming one of the key regions driving disinfectant robot manufacturing and use. Leveraging the market under consideration is also enabled by the region's growing market revenue share in the global robot industry. Australia, South Korea, Japan, India, China, and Singapore are among the countries investing in industry analysis across the value chain. Global robot manufacturing centers include South Korea, Japan, India, and China. Hong Kong, India, and Singapore are also growing as global centers for robotic start-ups. Southeast Asia is growing as a significant investment due to improving its healthcare facilities and economic assistance. For instance, in February 2021, Reliance Industries' subsidiary Reliance Strategic Business Ventures Limited (RSBVL) paid USD 26.76 million for an additional stock position in its investee business skyTran Inc., increasing its shareholding to 54.46% on a fully diluted basis. SkyTran is a technology company headquartered in the United States. It has developed groundbreaking passive magnetic levitation and propulsion technologies for personal transportation to reduce traffic congestion worldwide.
Many local vendors and start-ups are participating and investing in the global disinfectant robot market, assisting the region in establishing dominance in the market studied; for instance, Xenex Disinfectant Systems, a Chinese agritech company, recently released a fund of CNY 5 million (USD 0.7 million) to begin drone disinfection operations during the pandemic. The corporation used agricultural drones to sterilize public locations around the country. Drones are an effective robotic disinfection option since they can function contactless and cover a larger area in less time.
