Vendors to focus on offering both standard and custom products.
Technavio, a company that develops over 2000 pieces of research every year and covers more than 500 technologies across 80 countries, has announced the top five vendors for the global inspection robots market in their latest research report. This report also lists 17 other prominent vendors who are expected to contribute to this market’s growth between 2017-2021.
Competitive vendor landscape
The global inspection robots market is characterized by the presence of a relatively less number of original equipment manufacturers. The market consists of several robotic solution providers and system integrators that deliver integrated solutions for industrial inspection. Since inspection application carried out by robots is gradually gaining momentum across industries, Technavio expects more system integrators to enter the market during the forecast period. Presently, due to high cost of technology and advanced components (sensors, vision capability, cameras), only a few system integrators are present in the market
According to Bharath Kanniappan, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on robotics, “The market is likely to witness the emergence of more vendors who will offer both standard and custom products for end-users. With maturity in the market, vendors are likely to increase their investment in R&D to engineer an advanced robotic system with artificial intelligence capability.”
