My utterly uninformed views: The "markets" where robotics could have orders of magnitude effects are what I call field to factory. The most obvious item is construction. A pre-fabricated house is cheaper and waaaay faster to build because the factory has robots and assembly lines etc to help. But even on-site construction can be assisted - that is turning the field into a temporary factory. My sneaking suspicion is that just as we call any AI that works ML because while it does a specific job, we expect it to think like us instead of bringing what it is. And for robotics we will have many amazing advances and social changes, but we will expect it to move like us so won't call it robotics. This also leads to a second problem I think adoption will hit - robots will find an uncanny valley and it is easier and simpler to just build something that is in no way organic-like just to avoid human "yuck" factor. I can imagine some giant spider like contraption that washes up really well, and simply never selling because it looks like a giant freaking spider.
