North America is expected to dominate the global robot as a service market with 43.6% share in 2024. The strong presence of technology giants and startups has spearheaded the research and development of robotics solutions in the region. Countries like the U.S. and Canada have a well-developed industrial automation industry utilizing various types of robots for applications across industries such as healthcare, transportation, logistics, and others.

The sizable domestic market for robotics and the presence of global leaders have encouraged local companies to offer robot as a service model rather than upfront capital purchase of robots. This has significantly lowered the entry barriers for various industries to leverage robotics. Moreover, North America is a hub for technological innovations, and introduction of new categories of robots such as collaborative robots is first tested and adopted widely in this region. Growing labor costs have further prompted manufacturers to deploy robotics solutions on a subscription or pay-per-use basis rather than owning the equipment.

The Asia Pacific region is poised to be the fastest growing market for robot as a service in the coming years. Countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and India are witnessing tremendous growth in industrial and service robotics adoption. With increasing labor costs and shortage of workforce, many industries have started moving their manufacturing bases to Asia Pacific while also automating processes using robotics.

China, in particular, has emerged as a leader in industrial robotics production and is witnessing heavy investment in AI and robotics technologies by both public and private organizations. Robot manufacturers are also customizing their offerings as per the requirements of Asian customers and offering different pricing models such as pay-per-use to make robotics solutions more accessible. This growing industrialization along with supportive government policies is expected to drive strong demand for robot as a service solution across various applications over the next five years.
