Global Robot Operating System Market- Overview

The Robot Operating System (ROS) is an open-source framework suite. It isn't only an operating framework and is intended to work with various segments and subsystems that work on different programming languages. Industrial automation is broadening its reach across various industries and is making a significant contribution to the growth of the robot operating system market. Robots were previously limited to industrial shops, but now they can be found in surgery courts, on personal assistants, and even on delivery vehicles.

Global Robot Operating System Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Increasing Robotic Application in Healthcare Sector

The increasing adoption of robots in the medical field is emerging as the major driving factor for the global robot operating system market. Medical robots assist with surgery, streamline hospital logistics, and enable healthcare providers to offer direct care to the patients. Medical robots accurately manipulate surgical instruments through one or more small incisions for various surgical procedures. The demand for robot operating systems is growing to support and function efficient handling of the robots, propelling its market growth.

Explosion of Low-cost Robots and Their Penetration

With increasing robots and automation in various industries, robot manufacturers are launching low-cost robots to cut the initial investment, which is likely to boost the global robot operating system market demand. For instance, in 2019, Epson, a leading electronics company based in Japan, launched an ‘ultra-low-cost robot, a new entry-level robot that is compact, easy to install, and includes next-generation technology. Such innovations are expected to drive robot adoption, further boosting the global robot operating market growth.

Restraints

High Investment Attributed to Robot and Automation

The high cost of robot and automation installation may act as a major restraint for the adoption of robot operating systems. Along with controllers and teaching pendants, industrial robots cost around USD 50,000 to USD 80,000 and the cost of the entire robot system ranges from USD 100,000 to USD 150,000. This limits the ability of small manufacturers to invest in scaling up their businesses. Thus, large manufacturers are the only ones that can adopt this model.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Robot Operating System Market

The demand for robots and automation witnessed a tremendous surge after the COVID-19 outbreak due to a shortage of human resources and social distancing measures. However, with lockdowns imposed on several countries to curb the spread of the virus, the supply of robots and deployment of automation software and hardware became a challenge, which created a huge demand and supply gap in the market. This challenge directly impacted the demand for robot operating systems and negatively affected its market growth.

Global Robot Operating System Market - By Type
