Robotics Value Chain Analysis

The core segments in the robotics value chain are hardware components, software components, robot manufacturing, and robotics as a service.

Robot Manufacturing

Robot manufacturing comprises industrial robots and service robots. Industrial robots are housed in safety cages as they lack sensory intelligence, making them dangerous to be placed near workers for fear of injury. Additionally, China is the key market for industrial robots due to accelerating automation in the Chinese manufacturing sector and the retooling of its automotive factories.
