The Robotics Industry & Market

Robotics technology has the potential to positively transform lives and work practices, raise efficiency and safety levels and provide enhanced levels of service. Robotics is set to become the driving technology underpinning a whole new generation of autonomous devices that, through their learning capabilities, interact seamlessly with the world around them, and provide the missing link between the digital and physical world.

Robotics is already the key driver of competitiveness and flexibility in large scale manufacturing industries. Without robotics many of Europe’s successful manufacturing industries would not be able to compete from their current European bases of operation.

By the same token, service robotics will show far more disruptive effects on the competitiveness of non-manufacturing industries such as hospitality, food, agriculture, transport, healthcare, security and utilities. The growth in these areas over the coming decade will be much more dramatic. From what is currently a relatively low base, service robots used in non-manufacturing areas are expected to become the largest area of global robot sales.
