Definition:

The Robotics market refers to the industry that encompasses the design, development, manufacturing, and deployment of robotic systems and technologies. It involves the creation of machines that perform tasks autonomously or with minimal human intervention. These machines, also known as robots, mimic human actions and/or perform specialized functions in various sectors. These sectors include manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, logistics, defense, and entertainment.

A robot is defined as a powered machine that is programmable on two or more axes and has some degree of autonomy; it moves within its environment to perform its programmed tasks.

Structure:

The Robotics market shows the market size of robotics in industrial and service use cases. In Industrial Robotics, there are six distinct markets:

The Automotive Industry Robotics market
The Chemical Industry Robotics market
The Electric/Electronic Industry Robotics market
The Food Industry Robotics market
The Metal Industry Robotics market
The Other Industry Robotics market

Service Robotics is further split into:

The Commercial Service Robotics market, which contains the Agriculture, Logistics, Medical and Other Service Robotics markets
The Consumer Service Robotics market, which contains the Domestic and Entertainment Robotics markets

Additional information:

Data includes revenues, volume, and the average price per newly installed robot. It also examines the level of automation, the share of collaborative robots, and investment in robotics, as well as a list of the key players in the market and their consolidated revenues. The market displays both B2B and B2C revenues, and the revenue is based on the country’s demand for robots. It is shown in manufacturer prices. Industrial Robotics does not include software revenues, as industrial robots are mostly used with specific software solutions that belong to the company that deploys them. For Service Robotics, software revenues are considered, as service robots are mostly delivered with software solutions that have been implemented by the manufacturer.

Key players in the market include Kuka, ABB, Boston Dynamics, and Yaskawa Electric Corporation.

Analyst Opinion

The Robotics market in Zambia is experiencing considerable decline in growth rate, influenced by factors such as limited adoption of digital technologies, lack of awareness among consumers, and limited availability of online services. Despite this, the market is still expected to grow in the future due to the potential for growth in both Industrial and Service robotics sub-markets.

Customer preferences: As technology continues to advance, consumers in Zambia are showing a growing interest in robotics for various applications. This trend is driven by a desire for increased efficiency and productivity, particularly in industries such as manufacturing and healthcare. Additionally, with the increasing availability of affordable robotics solutions, smaller businesses and individuals are now able to adopt this technology, further fueling market growth. In line with this, there is also a shift towards more collaborative and user-friendly robots, as well as a focus on incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to enhance performance and adaptability. These developments reflect a growing consumer preference for advanced and versatile robotics solutions that can cater to a wide range of needs and tasks.

Trends in the market: In Zambia, there is a growing interest in the use of robotics in agriculture, particularly in the form of drones for crop monitoring and spraying. This trend is expected to continue as the government has made efforts to promote the adoption of technology in the agricultural sector. Additionally, there is an increasing focus on using robotics in the mining industry to improve efficiency and safety. These developments have significant implications for industry stakeholders, as they open up new opportunities for innovation and growth. However, there may also be challenges in terms of skills development and infrastructure to support the use of robotics in these sectors.

Local special circumstances: In Zambia, the Robotics Market is still in its nascent stage due to limited technological infrastructure and awareness. However, the government's focus on diversifying the economy and promoting innovation is creating opportunities for the market's growth. Additionally, the country's large mining industry is driving demand for automation and robotics solutions. Cultural factors, such as the importance placed on traditional labor and community-based decision making, may also impact the adoption of robotics technology. Furthermore, regulatory challenges, such as import restrictions and limited access to capital, may hinder the market's development.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Robotics Market in Zambia is heavily influenced by macroeconomic factors such as global economic trends, national economic health, and fiscal policies. The country's economic stability and growth potential play a crucial role in attracting investments and driving market growth. Additionally, government initiatives and policies promoting the adoption of automation and robotics technologies are expected to boost market growth. However, challenges such as limited access to financing, inadequate infrastructure, and a shortage of skilled labor may hinder the market's growth potential. Overall, the market's performance in Zambia is intricately linked to the country's macroeconomic landscape.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2B and B2C revenues. Figures are based on the country’s demand for robotics in manufacturer prices.

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined through a regional bottom-up approach, and further detailed by a top-down rationale for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use trade data of the respective economic sector. Furthermore, we use relevant key market indicators such as level of automation and digitization or the economy composition to estimate each country's specialization in demand and supply. This data helps us to estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques but primarly exponential smoothing. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market.

Additional notes:

The market is updated twice per year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war is considered at a country-specific level.
