This section covers the major market trends shaping the Europe Service Robots Market according to our research experts:
Increasing demand of service robots due to labor shortage in Europe
- Fast-growing economies in Europe have led to severe labor shortages in all industries.
- Floor-cleaning and microbe-zapping disinfecting robots were introduced in hospitals, supermarkets, and other environments. Some enterprises found that robotic operations offered a marketing advantage, given the new emphasis on hygiene and social distancing.

Military service robots are able to assess chemical, biological, and radiological threats by scanning for chemical agents present.
