Robotics Market

Market Overview:

The global robotics market size reached US$ 39.2 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 102.4 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 17.58% during 2023-2028.

Robotics is an interdisciplinary branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that studies the conception, operation, design and manufacturing of robots. It involves different fields of electrical and mechanical engineering and computer science. Robots refer to multifunctional, automatic and re-programmable industrial machines, which can be embedded with a variety of high-tech devices, such as visual, tactile and audio sensors. They are designed to perform several tasks automatically with speed, intelligence and accuracy. The essential components of a robot are body or frame, control system, manipulators and drivetrain. The R&D in the field of robotics enables the development of versatile robots that can perform tasks across various industries, including healthcare, aerospace, defense and automotive. The emergence of this technology has facilitated producers and service providers across the globe with convenience, increased output level, reduced human errors, enhanced quality and process automation.

Over the past few years, market players have been introducing high-quality, innovative robotic technologies in the industrial sector, where these are used for warehousing, manufacturing, and assembling applications. Some of these innovations include underwater robotics, human-robot interaction, legged mobility, machine learning (ML), and self-driving vehicles. Besides this, there has been a significant increase in cybersecurity threats as robots are becoming more connected with internal data systems. Owing to this, organizations and firms across the globe have been investing heavily in research and development (R&D) activities to address the current vulnerabilities while ensuring safe, secure and reliable production. Furthermore, AI and robotic technologies are largely used in the healthcare sector on account of the rising need of surgical robotics, and growth in lab and pharmacy automation. Also, there has been an escalating demand for collaborative robots to avoid any possible errors. These robots can operate alongside humans and are considerably cheaper than their industrial counterparts.
