Robots are important in a life-threatening environment because they can work for long hours without rest, can easily reach difficult areas for human rescuers, and always work in areas suitable for humans. Robots will be used to gather information before starting salvage by surveying the environment. Rescue teams can identify victims and focus their efforts in certain areas.

Increasing Investments by Governments: Increasing investments by governments are helping to boost the global search and rescue robots' market. The use of search and rescue robots in areas prone to natural disasters and disasters contributes to the efficiency of disaster management and rescue teams. The increasing effectiveness of search-and-rescue robots in initiating rescue operations by gathering location and conditions, analyzing the location of victims, and others has provided fire brigades, law enforcement and military personnel, among others have been widely accepted.

Asia Pacific dominated the global search and rescue robots market owing to rapidly developing countries such as Japan and China investing heavily in robotics. The APAC region is prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and floods. These disasters often cause massive destruction and devastation, increasing the need for search and rescue measures. Search and rescue robots are invaluable in taking dangerous areas, searching for survivors and assisting rescue teams. Rapid urbanization in the APAC region leads to the construction of tall buildings and infrastructure projects in densely populated cities. In case of building collapses or disasters in cities, the demand for robots and rescues are essential tools for entering confined spaces, searching for survivors under debris and conducting search operations.
