The Robotics Industry Will Reach $237 Billion in Revenue Worldwide by 2022, According to Tractica
Consumer Robots, Enterprise Robots, Autonomous Vehicles, and Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles Growth is Surging, Overtaking Traditional Industrial
Robotics
BOULDER, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#drones–The definition of a robot is in flux and traditional robot manufacturers
that have been building and supplying robots for decades have seen this
industry undergo a dramatic transformation in the past few years. Robots
have either been part of popular culture and science fiction or have
been the workhorses of industrial shop floors until now. According to a
new report from Tractica,
as of 2016, the industrial robotics segment has been surpassed in terms
of revenue by emerging robot types such as consumer robots, enterprise
robots, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), with autonomous vehicles
poised for strong growth in the coming years, as well.
Tractica forecasts that the global robotics market will grow rapidly
between 2016 and 2022, with revenue from unit sales of industrial and
non-industrial robots rising from $31 billion in 2016 to $237.3 billion
by 2022. The market intelligence firm anticipates that most of this
growth will be driven by non-industrial robots.
“The key underlying story emerging in the industry is that industrial
robotics, which has been the traditional pillar of the robotics market,
has given way to non-industrial robot categories like personal assistant
robots, UAVs, and autonomous vehicles,” says research director Aditya
Kaul. “In this process, the epicenter of the industry is shifting toward
Silicon Valley, which is now also becoming a hotbed for artificial
intelligence (AI), a set of technologies that are, in turn, driving a
lot of the most significant advancements in robotics.”
Tractica’s report, “Robotics
Market Forecasts”, covers the global market for robotics, including
consumer robots, enterprise robots, industrial robots, healthcare
robots, military robots, UAVs, and autonomous vehicles. These categories
are further segmented into 23 robot application markets. Market data
within the report includes robot shipments and revenue segmented by
world region, application market, and enabling technology. The
technologies included in the attach rate analysis are machine vision,
voice/speech recognition, gesture recognition, and tactile sensors. The
forecast period for this report extends from 2016 through 2022. An
Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the
