Sberbank presented the annual review of the world market of robotics| 18.07.2019
According to estimates by IFR, in 2017, sales of industrial robots increased by 31% compared to 2016 was sold 381 335 robots. Total market volume was $16.7 billion, excluding
cost of the software, and with more than $48 billion, Although the final figures for 2018 yet to be submitted, but preliminary information received from the IFR, the growth of robot sales
in 2018 ranged from 1% to 10% compared with the 2017 Thus, the estimate of the number sold in 2018 industrial robots is up to 421 000.
Asia remains the fastest growing market in the world of robotics: in 2017 sales of industrial robots in the region increased by 37% compared to 2016 market Growth in
2018, according to estimates by IFR increased by 14% compared to the previous year. This result is achieved primarily by the rapid development of China’s economy.
Over the past year in the robotics industry have been significant changes. Investments in start-UPS has reached record levels, it’s been several large mergers and acquisitions, part manufacturers
ceased operations, they were replaced by the new company.
Competition in the market increases, often causing reduction in the life cycle of technologies and increases risks for developers. Specialists of the Laboratory of robotics of Sberbank chose the most
promising technologies that will have an impact on the development of robotics in the near future, and also analyzed the five trends of the upcoming five years. Among them, including
mentioned the automation of production and public promotion of technology.
The researchers also traced the fate of startups that were presented in the previous review. Based on all the studied data has compiled a list of promising new startups with a brief
description of the technology and business models. In addition, the authors told about the eight main independent and multiple on the basis of universities, clusters, focuses on the development of robotics and
related technologies.
In the review section dedicated to the robotics market in Russia, experts analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the industry and came to the conclusion that the domestic industry does not use all
has the potential and is faced with a choice — to catch up with world leaders or ahead of the curve. The authors also identified six key features that would be worth paying attention to, and
four threats that darken the picture.
Industrial production growth in Russia in 2018 amounted to about 3%, while growth in the manufacturing sector — slightly higher to 3.2% (data from the Ministry of economic development).
Did not remain without attention and the Russian market of transportation and unmanned aircraft systems. Experts have analyzed the existing and projected legal, organizational, economic,
technological and socio-political barriers to market development.
This year the review was compiled in cooperation with the specialists of Sberbank on machine learning, so have added sections on problems of implementation of artificial intelligence in industry
robotics and related ethical and legal issues.
