Morgan Stanley predicts the humanoid robot population will be 40,000 by 2030 and swell to 63 million by 2050. Citigroup is even more bullish, predicting a $7 trillion humanoid robot market by 2050 with 1.19 billion humanoid robots in operation.
Of course, we believe these numbers because we trust Morgan Stanley and Citigroup... however, both of these are financial institutions and some of their biasness comes from investment strategies, albeit conservative ones.
My concern, being the Novice I am on matters pertaining to the future, is with the year 2030 and the prediction of only 40,000. Assuming that number pertains on to the USA that means there will only be 800 robots in each state.
That number sounds a little nonsensical to me and I would imagine it to be much, much higher.
China is beginning to mass produce robots in 2025 (this year), Elon Musk has said the same thing, and I am sure other countries are considering the same thing.
It would not surprise me if we had 63-100 million robots worldwide by 2030, especially since they are already in use in numerous warehouses all over the USA including warehouses and other establishments all over the world. Japan has robots serving food already in many of their restaurants.
My guess is that companies do not want to scare the American public with them worrying about robots taking over their jobs, until they absolutely have to for fear the worker might sabotage the company in retaliation.
We currently have 24 humanoid robot manufacturers in the USA.
Do you think these 24 manufacturers are sitting on their hands waiting to be given the GO SIGNAL???
