Robotics technology involves the engineering and operation of machines capable of autonomously or semi-autonomously performing physical tasks on behalf of humans. The primary objective of robotics is to develop devices that can work automatically, executing complex tasks faster and more efficiently than humans. Robotics finds application in various verticals, aiming to reduce errors, enhance efficiency, and streamline work processes.

The main types of robotic technologies include industrial robots, mobile robots, service robots, and others. Industrial robots are mechanical machines programmed to automatically perform production-related tasks in industrial environments. These robots utilize components such as hardware, software, and services, with applications spanning aerospace manufacturing, agriculture, automotive manufacturing, building maintenance, chemical and fuel processing, construction, consumer product manufacturing, and other end-user industries.

The robotics technology market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing consumer robots and medical robots. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).

The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
