THE ENTERPRISE ROBOTICS REPORT: Market forecasts, growth drivers, and the industries leading adoption

Estimated Global Enterprise Robot Shipments

Businesses throughout the world are increasingly using robots to automate portions of their workflow.

Traditionally, robots have been used primarily in manufacturing. But other industries including healthcare, shipping and logistics, food services, retail, hospitality, and more are starting to also use robots. For example, hospitals are using robots to assist in surgery, retail stores are testing robots to take inventory, and warehouses are using robots help sort packages.

In this report, we examine the rising use of robots across many industries. We examine top use cases, market leaders, growth drivers, potential for workforce automation, the top barriers, and include market forecasts on shipments and investment in robots between 2015-2021.

Here are some of the key takeaways from the report:

We expect enterprise robotic shipments to nearly triple between 2015-2021.
Manufacturing will continue to be the top adopter of robots. A recent Boston Consulting Group (BCG) survey found 44% of US manufacturers and 66% of German manufacturers plan to install autonomous robots and assistance systems within the next five years.
Rising wages around the world is just one of the key reasons enterprises are beginning to leverage robotics.
Robots have the potential to displace jobs, meaning that while they might take some more labor intensive jobs they have the potential to create new jobs for working on robots.
