Global Robotics Market Report 2022: Sector to Reach $86.2 Billion by 2027
January 3, 2023 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

The Global Robotics Market is projected to grow to US$ 86.20 Billion by 2027 according to the publisher. Today's stock of robots operating in factories worldwide marks the highest level in history. Robots are now increasingly being adopted for industrial and service applications by professionals.
Industrial robotics plays an essential role in modern industrial automation technology. One cannot imagine a transfer to the next manufacturing paradigm without industrial robotics being involved in various production phases. The service robot market comprises many types of robots, most of which can be used for applications in multiple industries.
Around the World, Many government and industry research funding programs have been initiated in recent years. Such programs include the National Robotics Initiative in the US, the SPARC program in the EU, the Robot Revolution Initiative in Japan, the Made in China 2025 program, and the Industries 4.0 program in Germany. Most of these programs are aimed at the larger field of robotics and automation.
Industrial Robots & Service Robots Future Looks Promising
Both industrial and service robots use many robotics technology concepts. Therefore, these programs will undoubtedly significantly affect the development of the robot industry in the future. In addition, recent technological advancements in the robotics industry and AI have led to the introduction of IoRT, which uses devices to fuse sensor data from multiple sources and use intelligence to determine the course of action.
As Robotics Industry 4.0 plays a pivotal role in global manufacturing, The Internet of Robotic Things will help in more efficient and accessible methods for robotic manipulation and grasping in manufacturing functionalities leading to increased use of robotics. As a result, the publisher expects that Worldwide Robotics Market will grow with double digit CAGR of 15.25% from 2022 to 2027.
According to United Nations by 2050, 16% of the world's population will be over age 65, up from 9% in 2019. Therefore, the aging population is a significant growth factor in deploying robots in assistance applications and domestic healthcare. This will lead to growth in the Service Robotics Market. As per our research findings Global Robotics Industry was US$ 42.4 Billion in 2022.
Regional Analysis: Robotics Industry
The USA is the largest robot user in the Americas, reaching a new operational stock. Most USA robots are imported from Europe, China, and Japan. Asia remains the most robust industrial robots operational stock market for the region's largest adopter. As labour costs are rising in China it is fast increasing the number of robots. India is also not far behind it has doubled the number of robots operating in the country's factories.
Companies are delivering food, and other industries are showing increasing demand. Following this ever-demand, the global growth of food and medication delivery robots will be observed in 2023. This growing demand and supply would also drive the demand for robots supporting last-mile deliveries.
For Instance, in 2020, KUKA signed an agreement with BMW AG to manufacture around 5,000 robots deployed in new production supply lines and factories worldwide. In addition, KUKA worldwide also stated industrial robots production and would be deployed at the BMW Group's international production sites to manufacture the current and future vehicle models.
In 2020, Shanghai SK Automation Technology Co provided intelligent equipment for automotive manufacturers, announced IPO offering on the STAR market, and raised RMB 733.15 Million.

Nolan’s Notes: The Interconnectedness of a Global Supply Chain
08/04/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesYou may recall when I’ve discussed the research and development of a particular magazine issue topic and how, at times, I’ve pivoted at the last minute because of what I learned from the information I’ve gathered. This month, my original focus was on cultivating your brand, but the more I investigated the topic, the more my subject experts leaned toward international supply chain strategies. Not surprisingly, these two disparate topics are far more interrelated than they might seem.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
08/01/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007We start with the latest report from the Global Electronics Association: North American PCB sales are down 8.6% in June. That might sound grim, but keep reading—there’s more to the story. Bookings are holding steady, and Dr. Shawn DuBravac offers context that paints a more balanced picture. Next, we turn our gaze to India, where mobile phone exports have surged 127-fold over the past decade. That stat alone says volumes about India’s emergence as a force in electronics manufacturing, something we’ll be digging into more deeply in an upcoming SMT007 feature.
