Dreame Technology is likely to keep gaining India robot vacuum share, but at a slower pace.
For operators
Dreame's climb from around 5% share in 2023 to nearly 30%, backed by a service network in 160 cities and a 2025 Croma tie-up, suggests that after-sales reach and organised-retail shelf space are what sell robot vacuums priced from Rs 20,000 to Rs 1.35 lakh.
Watch
Dreame's category share past the nearly 30% reported, at the next annual share update, would mean its lead is widening and rivals must cut prices.

Dreame Technology partnered with Croma in 2025 to take its robot vacuums into physical stores, and prices its models from Rs 20,000 to Rs 1.35 lakh. Managing director Manu Sharma gave the share figures, and puts category penetration at around 1% or less.

Reported figures
From the report. Source details below
| Dreame annual growth: | more than 100% |
|---|---|
| India robot vacuum category volume growth: | approximately 60-70% |
| Southern India share of category business: | almost 50% |
Why it matters for the brand
With category penetration still around 1% or less and Dreame already near 30% share, rivals and partners will likely find that service coverage across cities and organised-retail distribution matter more than product alone, and those are the assets to build or partner for.
What to track next
- Rival price cuts or launches below the ₹20,000 entry price
- Dreame's growth against the 60-70% category volume growth reported
- Dreame service coverage beyond the 160 cities reported
- New retail partnerships beyond the Croma tie-up from 2025
Likely next moves
Our read of what comes next — analysis, not reported by the source.
- Dreame Technology is likely to widen its offline and service footprint beyond the 160 cities now covered, as the installed base grows.
- Expect Dreame Technology to add more retail partners alongside Croma to push the category into households that have not yet bought one.
- Rival robot vacuum brands may respond with price cuts and new launches, especially near the ₹20,000 entry point where volumes concentrate.
- Dreame Technology will probably keep broadening its range across the ₹20,000 to ₹1.35 lakh band, adding cheaper entry models and premium ones.
- Dreame Technology's growth rate is likely to ease from over 100% a year as its share base gets larger.
