The Future of Service Robotics….. COVID-19 & Its Impact….
The global service
robotics market is projected to
reach USD 15.69 billion by 2020, at an expected CAGR of 23.7% from 2014 to
2020. The demand for the global service robotics is anticipated to surpass 18
million units by 2020. The major factor driving the industry is the rising
occurrences of supported living and the demand to fight against increasing
costs of labor in the developed countries.
The exponential spread of COVID-19 worldwide
has had an adverse impact on the semiconductor industry with manufacturing
facilities temporarily shut, leading to a significant slowdown in the
production. The outbreak could result in disruption across the ecosystem with
several supply chain participants shifting their production facilities outside
China, thereby reducing their over-reliance on China. Lockdowns imposed by the
governments in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak has not only affected
manufacturing but also hauled consumer demand for semiconductor devices. Our
analysts predict a decline in semiconductor revenue by over 1% in 2020 as
compared to that in 2012. The report will account for Covid19 as a key market
contributor.
The foremost advantage offered by
service robotics includes assistance in carrying out those tasks which would
otherwise have been tough and risky. Moreover, the ordinary routine tasks can
be effortlessly dealt with having a high degree of accuracy with the help of
these devices.
The global industry has witnessed a
massive growth in the number of companies trying to enter the industry and gain
share by evolving and refining their automation techniques. The components
involved in the manufacturing these machines include microcontrollers,
actuators, manipulators, sensors, and power supply. The need to combat rising labor costs in developed nations
and growing instances of assisted living are expected to give impetus to the
global service robotics market. Since they help perform tasks that would
otherwise be deemed risky or difficult, service robots are expected to witness
growing demand.

In 2013, personal robots had the highest
share of the market regarding volume. However, the highest revenue generating
segment included professional robots. These professional service robots
accounted for over 70% of the global market in that year. Professional service
robots are further segmented into field, medical, defense, and logistic robots.
Out of these, in 2013, the defense professional service robots led the global
industry concerning revenue generation and accounted for over 40% of the total
revenue. This was due to their utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles.
North America emerged as the largest market
in 2013, accounting for more than 35% of the overall volume share. The U.S. was
the primary revenue generator of North America. This high growth in the region
can be attributed to the quick rise in the development of production capacities
as well as industrialization. Furthermore, the rapidly growing automotive
industry in North America is also projected to drive the demand for the overall
industry.
The global service robotics industry is
highly branded as there is intense competition between the specialized service
robot manufacturers and the industrial robot manufacturers. The major
corporations operating in the market include Samsung Electronics, Toyota Motor
Corporation, Hanool Robotics Corp, Honda Motors Co. Ltd. Other participants
include GeckoSystems, Yujin Robot, iRobot Corporation, AB Electrolux, Fujitsu
Frontech Limited, LG Electronics Inc., and Sony Corp. Over the next six years,
companies including Amazon, Google, and Apple are also expected to enter into
the global service robotics market.
In addition, mundane everyday tasks
can be easily handled with a high degree of accuracy by these
computer-controlled devices. However, service robotics are in close proximity
to humans; therefore, ensuring complete security and safety is of the utmost
importance. An increasing number of companies have been developing and honing
automation techniques in order to gain market share. Major components involved
in service robotics include sensors, microcontrollers, power supply, actuators,
and manipulators, of which sensors are the most critical.
Technology proliferation and
innovation are expected to serve as a key driver for the market growth as a
result of which the price for service robotics is expected to see a fall. In
addition, an ageing population, mobile technology and other smart devices
incorporating robotics, funds and favorable government grants, enhancement of
complementary technologies and venture capital investments among others are
expected to impact positively the market demand. In recent times, the use of
service robotics in the automotive industry is also expected to spur the market
growth. However, human safety, interaction with the unstructured real world and
lack of sensors, network robots and users are likely to restrain the market
growth.
