Allied Market Research: Robot Operating System Market to Triple By 2031

January 9, 2023

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Robot Operating System Market," The robot operating system market was valued at $464.64 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $1.4 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 12% from 2022 to 2031.

Programming structures are known to be used by operating systems. Robot operating systems function as information layers because they are made up of various programming languages. The programming languages are run using assistance projectors, and the basis of running is similar to messages passing between forms. Hardware abstraction, device drivers, cross-machine communication, testing and visualization tools, among other features, are all provided by ROS. The main component of ROS is how the software operates and communicates, which enables user to create complicated software without having a thorough understanding of specific hardware. A network of processes (or nodes) can be linked to a central hub using ROS. Numerous devices can be used to run nodes, and there are numerous ways for them to connect to the hub.

The robot operating system (ROS) are a collection of tools and framework that are used to create robot applications. The future of robots in business, the enterprise, and for developers is being driven by ROS. The design of the embedded software in a robot was formerly the responsibility of robotic researchers and robot designers. Ubuntu serves as the main base for robotic operating systems due to its adaptability and user-friendliness. Moreover, ROS is an open-source platform; thus, helps researchers and programmers write and reuse code for robotics applications. A global open-source community of engineers, programmers, and fans known as the "robot operating system" works to advance, expand the usability of, and make robots available to everyone. These factors drive the market growth significantly.

Md Shadaab Khan, Research Analyst with Allied Market Research said, “The metal and machinery segment is expected to experience significant growth in the coming years, owing to the rise of automation and digitalization trends in every industry.”

Furthermore, surge in as increase in adoption of automotive in various industry, rise in adoption of ROS by manufacturer and demand of collaborative robots is increasing primarily drive the growth of the robot operating system market. However, high maintenance and installation cost of robots hamper the market growth to some extent. Moreover, adoption of robot as a service is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the market growth during the forecast period.

Depending on industry vertical, electrical and electronic segment dominated the robot operating system market in 2021 and is expected to maintain its dominance in the upcoming years, owing to create complicated software without having a thorough understanding of specific hardware. However, metal and machinery is expected segment is expected to witness highest growth, owing to the rise of automation and digitalization trends in every industry.

Region-wise, the robot operating system market size was dominated by Asia-Pacific in 2021 and is expected to retain its position during the forecast period, owing to increase in adoption of automation process by manufacturing industries. Moreover, countries such as Japan, South Korea, China, and Thailand are engaged in manufacturing of industrial and commercial robots. However, Europe is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, owing to offer clients a uniform level of safety and security, the European Union (EU) Commission will propose regulations on artificial intelligence and robots in the automotive industry..

The robot operating system market has witnessed significant growth in past few years. This is attributed to implementation of lockdown by governments in majority of the countries and the shutdown of schools, colleges, offices, and other organizations to prevent the transmission of virus. The ROS market is projected to prosper in the upcoming years after the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, various supply chain industry across the globe is adopting robot software to contact directly to their customers and to increase their market share without coming in contact with the virus. Moreover, various countries across the globe are adopting ROS for the healthcare sector to train their future doctors and students for fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, various governments across the globe are adopting ROS to treat COVID-positive patients to reduce the human contact, which is driving the growth of the ROS market. Additionally, several supply chain industries throughout the world are implementing robot software to speak with clients directly and grow their market share without coming into contact with the virus.
