Summary and extracts
1 Market overview
1.1 Introduction and scope of study
Robotics markets can be traditionally subdivided into 2 main categories:
- industrial robotics, used to automate assembly or manufacturing tasks;
- service robotics, used both in professional environments (e.g. healthcare, agriculture) and for personal use (e.g. vacuum cleaners or hobby robots).
Both markets are growing fast, but have different characteristics. The first is essentially driven by demand from companies in 3 Asian countries, while the second market is more evenly distributed between countries. What's more, these two markets can be broken down into a multitude of different sub-sectors, with very different levels of maturity and customer segments. Robotisation is becoming increasingly important in the home automation, logistics, agriculture and medical sectors, for example. This wave of robotization is part of the broader development of Industry 4.0, which encompasses other advances such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Machine Learning, all of which are driving the development of robots.
On a global scale, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) is the sector's reference body. In France, several French nuggets stand out in the industrial and professional robotics segments, with highly advanced technology and solutions to specific needs.
