Robotics for the Process Industries

The Robotics for the Process Industries market research delivers current market analysis plus a five year market and technology forecast. It is available in multiple editions including worldwide, all regions, and most major countries.

Robust Growth in the Robotics Market Driven by the Need for Employee Safety and Automation 

The Robotics for the Process Industries market includes mobile robots designed to operate in dangerous environments and/or perform dull, dirty, or low-level repetitive tasks in order to ensure employee safety and provide operational improvements via robotic automation and digitalization. Enhancements such as expanded sensor payloads and on-board computing and advanced processing using industrial AI to enable autonomous navigation and operations are enabling mobile robots to tackle increasingly more complex tasks while helping to keep employees safe and serve as mobile inspection or condition monitoring platforms.

Robotics for the Process Industries Strategic Issues

robotics for the process industries market trendsIn addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the RFID in Manufacturing Market Report provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.

Target Applications for Which Employee Safety Is Paramount

The main reason most end users initially deploy robots is the need to keep employees from doing dangerous tasks or completing tasks in hazardous environments, so users are recommended to select this type of application and “test drive” the robot to determine whether it can perform the tasks required. If successful, the rollout of robots to serve a wider base of applications for which employee safety is also critical is recommended.

Consider Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) Option

For users that cannot afford to make the investment in a robot, or perhaps may be challenged to justify the investment and/or lack the internal resources to manage the integration and operations of inspection robots in the field, seeking out RaaS is an option that may be worth considering. RaaS can be a win-win for both the user and suppliers that have the necessary resources, R&D strength, and internal expertise (or a strong partner ecosystem) to fully support the user’s requirements.

Users benefit as they save on the initial upfront investment, avoid having to deal with maintenance issues, get ongoing software updates and support, and can scale operations as demand and need warrant within the limits of the contract. Shifting from a CapEx to an OpEx budget can shorten purchasing cycle and typically simplify ROI criteria; there is no need to train or hire robot experts; the customer enjoys a close partnership with the supplier who is incentivized to design robust and reliable robots (since they are responsible to repair and/or replace) and keep evolving and improving their hardware and software capabilities faster and more precisely in order to maintain a competitive advantage.

Market Data Research Available Datasets

This in-depth market data research is split into two key modules: Market Growth Outlook and Competitive Analysis.  Each of these modules is further configured into several sub-modules to meet the needs of executives as well as marketing, sales, and product development managers.  All of these modules and sub-modules may be purchased as a bundle or separately.  A brief description of these modules, sub-modules, and their use cases is included below.

Market Growth Outlook

ARC’s market growth outlook service delivers an in-depth market opportunity analysis including five-year market and technology forecasts and 3-year history trend lines where available. Besides providing an in-depth analysis of the market opportunity provided by each technology, this service allows technology suppliers to analyze their own customized markets consisting of multiple technologies. For example, customers can view different market scenarios by adding or removing technology markets from the analysis, providing them a Total Available Market (TAM) view of their own served market. A list of the available market growth outlook services can be seen in the list below.  

This service is designed to help accelerate your organization's ability to understand an up-to-date view of the market opportunity provided by your current product portfolio and analyze how your company’s market opportunity would change if you were to acquire or divest a particular product line. The service will also help you identify and capitalize on emerging markets, whether these markets are based on an emerging technology, region, vertical industry, or application.
