Key Market Trends

Drones in Military and Defense to Present Significant Opportunities for the Commercial Robotics Market

  • Military robot automation of the defense process is the next wave of military evolution. As automated systems and networking complement the Internet, communication is facilitated on a global basis. Over the past decade, there have been increasing levels of investment in surveillance and security in the defense sector.
  • From 2017, the US military and its partners started expanding their use of drones, using them for logistical purposes, like resupply, while expanding their abilities to defend against enemy drones.
  • The UAVs and drones are increasingly being adopted in the defense and military sector worldwide, due to their benefits, such as enemy tracking, use in war zones in reconnaissance of unknown areas or buildings, force protection, and to assist in search for lost or injured soldiers, as well as a real-time view of various missions.
  • Thus, with the increase in defense spending globally and advancements in technology, military and defense account for a significant share in the commercial robotics market.

North America to Dominate the Market

  • The North American region is set to lead the market for commercial robotics due to the widespread acceptance of the infrastructure required for the adoption of commercial robotic systems.
  • The steady technological advancements in the healthcare sector, in North America, is a major driver for the commercial robotics market in the region. The United States is home to some of the largest players in the market. It is a pioneer in the adoption of surgical robots, which is a primary factor influencing the growth of the market studied during the past decade.
  • The defense and security sector also accounts for a significant portion of the demand, for robotics, in the region, as developed countries in these regions have focused on military modernization in the recent past. However, the airborne drones have seen a phenomenal increase in their application because of their heavy usage in security and surveillance.
  • In 2016, the Pentagon, the Department of Defense deployed drones to spy over the US territory for non-military missions. These factors have increased the demand for security robots in North America.
