Jacky's Robot Rentals Launches in GCC to Cut Automation Costs

Businesses across the GCC can now access industrial robots, customer service bots, and warehouse automation through monthly subscriptions instead of buying outright. The service includes maintenance and support, targeting SMEs previously priced out of automation.

Jacky's Robot Rentals Launches in GCC to Cut Automation Costs

Jacky's Business Solutions has launched Robot Rentals across GCC markets, offering businesses subscription-based access to robotics without significant upfront investment. According to the company's announcement, the service bundles hardware, software, servicing, and support into a single operating expense. This addresses the high acquisition costs that have historically slowed robotics adoption in the region.

What Makes Robot Rentals Different from Traditional Automation?

Robot Rentals transforms how businesses approach automation by shifting from capital expenditure to operational expense. According to Jacky's Business Solutions, organisations can now deploy robotics solutions without a significant upfront investment, scale automation based on demand, and access ongoing maintenance under a single service agreement.

The model enables businesses to experiment with automation in real-world environments before making long-term commitments. For SMEs, particularly, this reduces financial risk whilst allowing them to stay current with evolving robotics technology without long-term lock-in.

"Automation is no longer a future consideration — it is a present operational requirement," said Manoj Ganapathy, Division Manager for Visitors Management & Robotics Division at Jacky's Business Solutions. "However, many organisations are cautious about heavy capital investment in rapidly evolving technologies."

How Large is the Global Robot Rental Market?

The global robot rental market is experiencing significant growth. Recent industry research projects that the global robot rental service market will grow from approximately $4.5 billion in 2023 to over $13 billion by 2032, reflecting steady, double-digit annual growth.

The broader Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) market shows even stronger momentum. The market is forecast to grow from an estimated $1.8 billion in 2024 to around $8.7-9 billion by 2034, representing a compound annual growth rate of roughly 17%.

This growth is driven by rising demand for automation, persistent labour shortages, and businesses seeking flexible models that avoid heavy upfront capital expenditure. Manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, retail, hospitality, and healthcare lead this shift globally — sectors central to the GCC's economic growth agenda.

Which Sectors Can Benefit from Robot Rentals in the UAE?

The service targets multiple sectors across the GCC experiencing automation demand. Manufacturing operations can deploy industrial robots for assembly and quality control without massive capital outlays. Logistics and warehousing facilities can implement sorting and inventory management robots that scale with seasonal demand.

In retail environments, customer service robots can be deployed during peak periods without permanent investment. The hospitality sector can experiment with cleaning and concierge robots, whilst healthcare facilities can trial patient assistance and sanitisation robots.

Given the UAE's position as a regional leader in innovation and artificial intelligence, flexible access models like Robot Rentals will accelerate adoption across these sectors. As businesses continue their AI adoption journeys, subscription robotics removes complexity while providing greater financial flexibility.

What Are the Key Benefits for GCC Businesses?

Robot Rentals delivers four primary advantages for regional businesses. First, it eliminates significant upfront capital requirements that traditionally deterred automation adoption. Second, businesses can scale robotics deployment up or down based on operational demand, providing operational flexibility.

Third, the service includes ongoing maintenance and support under a single agreement, removing the complexity of managing multiple vendor relationships. Finally, businesses can stay current with evolving technology without long-term commitments, which is crucial in rapidly advancing robotics markets.

The model particularly benefits SMEs, which often lack the capital for large automation investments but need to improve efficiency to compete. By reducing financial risk, Robot Rentals enables smaller businesses to experiment with advanced robotics previously accessible only to large enterprises.

Should Your Business Consider Robot Rentals?

Robot Rentals makes sense for businesses facing three key challenges: high upfront automation costs, uncertain deployment requirements, or rapid technology evolution. Companies exploring automation for the first time can test the impact of robotics without a major financial commitment.

Seasonal businesses benefit from scaling robotic support during peak periods without year-round fixed costs. Operations requiring cutting-edge technology can access the latest robotics without the risk of obsolescence through subscription updates.

The service aligns with the UAE's broader automation ambitions and supports the region's digital transformation goals. As 92% of UAE firms prioritise AI according to recent research, Robot Rentals provides a practical pathway for businesses to participate in the next phase of automation with reduced complexity.
