Bots And Brands The robotics sector is booming, and branded merch is ready for the moment. By Audrey Sellers 54 • JULY 2026 • PPAI Must Read | Bots And Brands “Robotics” used to sound like something futuristic and far off, like robot butlers or flying cars. But it’s not so space-age anymore. Robotics are part of everyday life, from helping vacuum floors to nudging drivers back into their own lanes. Before long, that same wave of robotics may also regularly land groceries or takeout orders right at doorsteps. McKinsey projects that drone deliveries could climb from 800,000 in 2023 to 1.5 million by 2035. The global robotics market, which includes everything from warehouse automation to consumer technology, could reach nearly $200 billion by 2035, according to a market outlook by Astute Analytica. And within the next decade, Morgan Stanley predicts there could be 13 million humanoid robots moving among us, with ownership costs hovering around $10,000 a year.
