MARKET OVERVIEW
1.1 Introduction and scope of study
Robotics markets can be traditionally subdivided into 2 main categories:
- industrial robotics, used to automate assembly or manufacturing tasks;
- service robotics, used both in professional environments (e.g. healthcare, agriculture) and for personal use (e.g. vacuum cleaners or hobby robots).
Both markets are growing fast, but have different characteristics. The first is essentially driven by demand from companies in 3 Asian countries, while the second market is more evenly distributed between countries. What's more, these two markets can be broken down into a multitude of different sub-sectors, with very different levels of maturity and customer segments. Robotisation is becoming increasingly important in the home automation, logistics, agriculture and medical sectors, for example. This wave of robotization is part of the broader development of Industry 4.0, which encompasses other advances such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Machine Learning, all of which are driving the development of robots.
On a global scale, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) is the sector's reference body. In France, several French nuggets stand out in the industrial and professional robotics segments, with highly advanced technology and solutions to specific needs.
1.2 Global market dominated by the Asia-Pacific region
Overall, the robotics market is expected to almost triple in size between **** and ****, rising from $**.* billion to $**.* billion over this period, representing a CAGR of +**.**%.

3.2 Some production considerations
Both industrial and service robots are made from the same materials, with a few exceptions. Steel, cast iron and aluminum are the main components used to build robot bases and arms, according to Madehowwhile rubber tires are the products usually used for mobile robots. Cylinders and other equipment used to move ...
3.3 Distribution
Sales of industrial robots and service robots for professional use are, by definition, aimed at companies, and therefore have a distribution network specific to a B*B market. As such, most robot manufacturers are vertically integrated vertically integrated, that is, they handle the entire value chain without intermediaries, from R&D ...
3.4 The value chain
The DGE has detailed the robotics value chain. In particular, it highlights the diversity of government intervention along the chain and in the market.

OFFER ANALYSIS
4.1 Product classification
The typology of robotics products drawn up by the DGE highlights the types of market addressed by each segment: service robotics for personal use is a fairly mature mass market, which explains the low prices in this sector compared to others.finally, service robots for professionals are still in an experimental ...
4.2 Price trends
Robotics prices vary widely according to market segment, with very expensive industrial robots on the one hand, and low-cost, mass-market domestic robots on the other. Products in each segment also vary widely according to application, but all show the same trend: a general drop in selling price.
Prices in industrial ...
REGULATIONS
5.1 Regulations still under construction
Some of the regulations governing industrial robots can be likened to those governing industrial machinery, as highlighted by the european Parliament Directive ****/**/EC.
Nevertheless, the regulations still have a long way to go to answer the ethical and philosophical questions raised by robots and artificial intelligence. In ****, according to l'Humanitérobots ...
