The automotive and electronics sectors were the main drivers of the growth of the global industrial robotics market in 2018, accounting for some 54 percent of the total sales value. In 2020, however, their share of the total sales value is forecast to decrease to around 47 percent. The global industrial robotics market is projected to shrink as well, from some 17.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2018 to around 15.1 billion U.S. dollars in 2022.
