The Robotics Market Segment is Growing - Are You Ready?

Behco-robotics2A cultural shift is underway and robots are playing an increasingly crucial role in our everyday lives.

Due to advances in computer vision, artificial intelligence and cloud computing, robots are now capable of performing advanced tasks and operating in challenging environments.  

Robotics will be one of the core drivers creating the next wave of technology and the robotics market is estimated to grow to $73 billion by 2025.

A new generation of manufacturing robots is emerging that is more collaborative, smaller and more perceptive than traditional machinery.

Collaborative robots, which Loup Ventures projects will account for 34 percent of the industrial robots sold by 2025, are designed to work safely with and alongside people in factories.
