Pipe Inspection Robot Market Outlook:
Pipe Inspection Robot Market size was valued at USD 5.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 23.6 billion by the end of 2035, rising at a CAGR of 17.6% during the forecast period, i.e., 2026-2035. In 2026, the industry size of pipe inspection robot is evaluated at USD 6.4 billion.
The international pipe inspection robot market is poised for extensive growth over the forecasted years since utilities, oil and gas operators, and municipal authorities are prioritizing automated asset-integrity programs and remote inspection capabilities. As per an article published in August 2025, the 2022 Economic Census shows that U.S. manufacturing continues to adopt industrial robotic equipment, in which overall 6.4% of manufacturing plants use robots, and 25.7% of employees work along with them. Related industries such as machinery manufacturing, electrical equipment, and fabricated metal product manufacturing show robotic adoption rates between 7.5% and 8.9%, which reflects automation integration in production processes critical to pipe inspection robot components. Hence, this experimental dataset represents how robotics is being integrated into production environments, and these technologies readily influence operational procedures across different plant sizes.
Furthermore, the growing investments in this sector are also prompting a profitable business environment for the pipe inspection robot market. In December 2024, ANYbotics announced that it had secured an additional USD 60 million in funding to enhance its services & deliver results across all nations, which was led by Qualcomm Ventures and Supernova Invest, bringing its total capital raised to over USD 130 million to support its U.S. expansion. Also, the company specializes in terms of AI-based robotic inspections, wherein there has been a growing demand from the energy, metals, and chemical sectors. In addition, the company is advancing its ANYmal robot by integrating built-in GPUs for faster processing and enhanced AI analytics, thereby enabling more efficient and precise inspections. In addition, partnerships with AWS, NVIDIA, Siemens Energy, and others are strengthening the firm’s worldwide reach and technological capabilities, hence positively impacting pipe inspection robot market growth.
