Semiconductor Market for Robots by Component (Compute, Sensors, Memory, Power Management ICs), Robot Type (Industrial Robots, Professional Service Robots, Personal & Household Service Robots, Drones), Vertical - Global Forecast to 2030

The semiconductor market for robots is estimated to be USD 11.23 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 41.24 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 29.7% %. The integration of 5G and V2X communication technologies is driving the demand for advanced semiconductor solutions, as ultra-low latency and real-time connectivity are essential for autonomous and mobile robots to operate safely and collaboratively in dynamic environments. Simultaneously, the accelerated adoption of robots in emerging economies will drive the demand for chips such as edge-AI processors, sensor ICs, and low-power MCUs, enabling vendors to expand into new markets while supporting localized industrial and service robotics applications.

“The food and beverage vertical is projected to grow at a high rate during the forecast period.”

The semiconductor market for robots in the food and beverage (F&B) sector is projected to grow at a high rate due to increasing automation in this industry. Automation is increasingly critical for efficiency, safety, and compliance. Food products vary widely in size, texture, and fragility, requiring robots with advanced precision and adaptability—capabilities enabled by high-speed processors, AI-enabled vision chips, and sensor fusion technologies. At the same time, stringent hygiene standards in food environments demand ruggedized, IP67-rated semiconductors that can withstand extreme conditions such as humidity, freezing temperatures, and frequent chemical washdowns. Major robotics leaders like ABB, Kawasaki, and Doosan are already deploying food-grade robots that leverage semiconductors for high-speed sorting, packaging, bottling, sterilization, and even large-scale cooking tasks, proving their versatility across both primary and secondary processing. Moreover, rising consumer demand for diverse SKUs, personalized packaging, and convenience foods is driving the adoption of reprogrammable robotic systems, further increasing reliance on adaptable semiconductor solutions.

“Asia Pacific is expected to witness a high CAGR in the semiconductor market for robots during the forecast period.”
