Future is Here: Robotics in 2025

Robots, paired with AI, are evolving faster than ever. They’re no longer just tools – they’re active participants in processes. We covered this in detail in our previous post. Today, we’ll dive into the key trends and analytical forecasts shaping the robotics industry, which is building the world’s new tech infrastructure.

5 Trends

1. AI: Not Just the Brain, but the Motor Too

Physical, analytical, and generative AI now powers movement, adaptation, and decision-making. AI enables robots to adjust to changing environments and perform tasks without human intervention.

2. Cobots: Smart Assistants by Your Side

Collaborative robots are becoming safer, more autonomous, and easier to use. In 2025, they don’t just work alongside humans – they anticipate actions, boost efficiency, and cut costs.

3. Humanoids: A Step Closer to Us

Humanoid robots are confidently stepping out of labs. They’re being used in healthcare, social services, and hazardous environments. The humanoid market could grow from $2 billion in 2024 to $15.26 billion by 2030.

4. Digital Twins: Virtual Mirrors of Reality

Virtual models of equipment and processes predict failures, optimize production, and enable risk-free training. This simplifies robot integration and reduces costs.

5. Sustainability: Green Robotics

Manufacturers are prioritizing energy efficiency, waste reduction, and sustainable materials. Robots are becoming integral to «green» production.

Analyst Forecasts

• The global robotics market could reach $150–190 billion by 2030.
• Industrial robots: from $55.1 billion in 2025 to $291.1 billion by 2035, with a CAGR of 18.1%.
• Smart robots in healthcare: from $11.66 billion to $36.79 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 25.83%.
• Cobot market: from $2 billion to $12 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of ~35%.
• The IFR notes: robots address labor shortages by automating routine, dangerous, or labor-intensive tasks, freeing humans for more creative, high-value work.

«Elon Musk predicts that by 2040, there could be more humanoid robots than humans, potentially reaching 10 billion. But the real question isn’t how many there will be – it’s what will be in their minds? Who will control their logic, priorities, and actions?

In the 21st century, it’s not just about creating AI but understanding the principles guiding its decisions.

AI agents are no longer just tools – they’re becoming active players in systems that impact our economy, communication, and trust.

At DigiU, we’re building an infrastructure where AI serves human interests, not corporations,» commented the DigiU’s CEO.
