Robot Software Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Software Type (Recognition software, Predictive maintenance software , Communication management software, Simulation software), By Deployment (Cloud, On-premise), By Robot Type (Industrial Robot, Service Robot), By Enterprise Size (Small and Medium Enterprise, Large Enterprise), By Industry (BFSI, Retail and eCommerce, Manufacturing, Government) and regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Robot software is a set of multiple programmed inputs given to the robot (the mechanical device and operating system) to execute a specific task and attain the desired output. Organizations adopt robot software to automate tasks, reduce operating costs, increase productivity, lower operational risk, improve internal processes, among others. Robot software is adopted in various organizations in their manufacturing units to execute automated tasks such as data analysis, filtering, triangulation, locating, pathfinding, analysis, and others.

The growing adoption of industrial robots in various industries including heavy manufacturing, healthcare, automotive, oil & gas, government, and others is anticipated to boost the growth of the market. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), in February 2020, around 2 million units of industrial robots are estimated to be deployed in manufacturing factories globally, by the year 2022. Also, the advent of technologies such as 5G infrastructure, cloud, big data, internet of things (IoT) and the rising internet penetration is expected to boost the demand for the software.

COVID-19 epidemic has impacted all the industry globally. Observing several preliminary sales results from the first half of 2020, an insignificant drib can be seen in demand for the software. As per the lockdown guidelines published by the government in various countries, manufacturing, healthcare, and other industries are allowed to operate with a limited amount of employees during the pandemic. To maintain the overall productivity, organizations around the globe are advancing their manufacturing models by adopting an automated robot. This adoption of robots would likely accelerate the demand for robots software, leading to fast recovery of global production.

Key Market Driver -

• Increasing adoption of advanced robots is fueling the market growth • Emerging 5G infrastructure, cloud, big data and rising internet penetration is driving the growth of the market

Key Market Restraint -

• The high cost of software and minor security issue such as DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attacks, is expected to hinder the growth of the market

KEY PLAYERS COVERED
