In robotics, Say’s law – which states that supply creates its own demand – is revving up ever faster, due to robots becoming progressively cheaper, smarter, more flexible and easier to train. This makes it easier for robots to infiltrate new industries and spawn new use cases at scale. Indeed, with compounding advances in technology, robots are being redefined as essentially physically embodied artificial intelligence (AI) agents. In 2018 the global robotics market was worth $98 billion, and it will have surpassed $275 billion by 2025, according to GlobalData forecasts. Over the next five years there will be a rapid growth in cloud-based robot services for armies of installed robots and for robots hired on an as-needed basis, especially by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), triggering new demand drivers. It is all happening amid rising angst about human jobs and even human identity, but the momentum is unlikely to be stalled, at least over the next five years, as boosts to sagging productivity in manufacturing and services across both the public and private sector are sought by organizations across the world.

Scope

This report focuses on the global robotics industry.

It highlights the main trends that will shape the robotics market over the next 12 to 24 months.

It provides a clear value chain of the theme.

It provides data on overall market size and growth forecasts, information on key mergers and acquisitions, and a timeline to highlight key milestones in the evolution of the robotics theme.

Key Highlights

In 2018, the global robotics industry was worth $98 billion, according to GlobalData estimates. By 2025, it will have nearly tripled in size to $278 billion. To a certain degree, the robotics industry is likely to follow Say’s law of markets, which states that supply creates its own demand. Ever more capable, connected and affordable robots will infiltrate new industries and spawn new use cases – in agriculture, security, entertainment, and retail – promising to keep the industry as a whole on a double-digit compound annual growth rate (CAGR) until 2025. Industrial robot densities across the world will grow as factory automation accelerates, especially in China. Improvements in technology and the redefinition of robots as connected AI agents will increase the proliferation of robots in the factory, in the office, on the roads, in the skies, and at home.

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.
