In the forecast period, growth can be driven by a greater reliance on AI and machine learning, the rise of mechatronics, cost-reduction initiatives, a growing demand for humanoid robots, and the increasing use of robotics in healthcare. Key trends for the forecast period include the adoption of technologies in autonomous systems, advancements in AI-powered robotics, the integration of robotics with the Internet of Things (IoT), the incorporation of edge computing in robotics, and the development of cloud-based robotics platforms.

The growing demand for autonomous vehicles is anticipated to drive the expansion of the advanced robotics market. Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are self-driving cars capable of operating without human intervention, relying on advanced sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence (AI) to navigate and control their movements. The rising interest in autonomous vehicles is driven by the need for safer, more efficient, and more convenient transportation. These vehicles utilize AI, sensors, and machine learning to reduce human errors, which are a major cause of road accidents. They also enhance traffic flow, decrease congestion, and optimize fuel efficiency by making real-time driving decisions. Advanced robotics plays a key role in the development and operation of autonomous vehicles by integrating AI, machine learning, and sensor technologies, enabling precise control and real-time decision-making. For example, according to a report by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in August 2022, the number of self-driving vehicles on U.S. roads is expected to reach 3.5 million by 2025 and 4.5 million by 2030. As a result, the increasing demand for autonomous vehicles is fueling the growth of the advanced robotics market.

Companies in the advanced robotics market are increasingly focusing on integrating cutting-edge technologies to boost automation, improve decision-making, and enhance autonomous functionalities.
