The United States cleaning robots market was valued at USD 3.47 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 11.61 billion by 2029, according to a new report published by ResearchAndMarkets.com. The market is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.11% over the period, driven by technological developments, rising consumer interest in automated solutions, and increased emphasis on hygiene.
Growth in the sector is largely attributed to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in robotic cleaning devices. These innovations have enhanced the ability of cleaning robots to autonomously navigate and clean various environments, improving operational efficiency and enabling remote control through connected applications and voice assistants. As smart home technologies continue to gain traction, cleaning robots are becoming more embedded in the domestic technology ecosystem.
The market has also benefited from changes in consumer behavior, particularly in urban areas where time-saving and automated solutions are increasingly preferred. Dual-income households and individuals with limited time for manual cleaning are contributing to the growing demand. Moreover, heightened awareness of hygiene following the COVID-19 pandemic has expanded the use of cleaning robots in commercial and institutional settings, including hospitals, offices, and retail environments.
Manufacturers have responded to these trends by developing models that incorporate features such as AI-powered mapping, enhanced obstacle detection, and longer battery life. A concurrent focus on sustainability has led to the production of energy-efficient units and the use of environmentally conscious materials.
Despite these advancements, the market faces several constraints. High initial costs remain a barrier to entry for some consumers, particularly for advanced or premium models. Additionally, adoption is challenged by limited consumer awareness in certain segments, as well as concerns over the reliability and cleaning efficacy of robotic devices when compared with traditional methods. Some models also encounter difficulties on certain surfaces or in navigating complex household layouts, which may reduce their appeal.
The industry also faces competition from professional cleaning services, which continue to be preferred for deep cleaning and specialized tasks. Technical limitations, such as battery constraints and maintenance requirements, present further challenges to user satisfaction and product longevity.
The competitive landscape includes companies such as iRobot, Samsung, Serve Robotics, Ecovacs, Diversey, Xiaomi, SharkNinja, Beijing Roborock Technology, Carters, and LG, which are engaged in research and development to expand functionality and market reach. The report indicates that continued innovation and broader consumer education will be important for sustaining growth in the U.S. cleaning robots market through 2029.
