Industry Findings: Singapore’s national automation strategy and dense smart-city infrastructure are accelerating large-scale use of indoor mobility, cleaning, and inspection units across airports, hospitals, commercial campuses, and public housing estates. Government-led pilots frequently emphasise standards compliance, data-governance transparency, and seamless building-system integration. As a result, vendors with strong cybersecurity practices, multi-sensor mapping, and reliable fleet-management tools gain a sizable advantage, as organisations here demand predictable, scalable performance within tightly regulated environments.
Industry Progression: Large public-infrastructure pilots are setting an expectation for enterprise-grade orchestration and compliance, and Changi Airport’s ongoing rollouts of autonomous cleaning and follow-on contracts for vendor robots (2024–2025) show how a high-footfall national asset treats robots as core infrastructure rather than experiments — this accelerates demand for certified fleets, strict data governance, and vendor SLAs that support 24/7 operations in similarly regulated hubs across the region.
Industry Players: Among the many companies in this market, a few include OTSAW, Sesto Robotics, LionsBot, Weston Robot, ST Engineering, Botsync, and Solustar etc. Singapore’s automation environment is accelerating toward high-density, compliance-first deployments as operators treat robotics as essential facility infrastructure. In 2024, LionsBot secured expanded commercial cleaning deployments across major property groups, demonstrating that robots can sustain 24/7 operations within rigid safety and data-governance frameworks. This shift forces vendors to deliver hardened cyber-secure fleets, building-integration capabilities, and enterprise-grade uptime guarantees.
