Robotics in Sport Market Thematic Intelligence Overview
Sports teams, organizations, companies, federations, and broadcasters use robotics to varying degrees. The most common benefits of robotics include increasing fan engagement, improving coverage of sporting events, reducing the price, improving the quality of cleaning event spaces, and ensuring sporting event management goes smoothly.
The robotics in sport thematic intelligence report takes an in-depth look at look at how important robotics are in the sports sector. This report also discusses how robotics is impacting the sports industry, the growth of this market in the future, as well as the industry’s leaders and laggards.
Robotics in Sport – Industry Analysis
The robotics industry was worth $45.3 billion in 2020 and is expected to achieve a CAGR of more than 28% during 2020-2030. The industry is divided into two segments: industrial robots and service robots. The industrial robots segment drove growth in robotics in the 2020s, and the innovation coming from applications in manufacturing is expected to spill over to areas such as logistics and healthcare.
Drones and inspection, maintenance, and cleaning robots are the most applicable opportunities for sports companies and organizations. Drones can help with several things, notably supporting performance analysis, improving the fan experience, getting better angles for broadcasters, and creating new opportunities for advertisers and sponsors. Inspection, maintenance, and cleaning robots and logistic robots can be useful for both broadcasters and teams looking to improve the quality of training and performance.

Robotics in Sport - Value Chain Analysis
GlobalData’s robotics value chain consists of four segments: hardware components, software components, robot manufacturing, and robotics as a service.
Software components: In recent years, software has become an increasingly important part of the robot design process. Due to the nature of the industry historically, most of the software powering industrial robots is proprietary and closed. However, this is changing with the emergence of software specialists that have developed robot operating systems (ROSs).
