The global industrial robot sensors market to grow at a CAGR of 7.67% during the period 2017-2021.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global industrial robot sensors market for 2017-2021. To calculate the market size, the report provides market sizing in terms of sales of the following types of industrial robot sensors: vision systems, force/torque sensors, proximity sensors, collision detection sensors, and safety sensors. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

Robot sensors are devices that detect and measure changes in the internal and external environment of a robot. The information collected by robot sensors are then sent in the form of signals to the controller of the robot, which in turn helps in ensuring a smooth operation of the robot. Vendor in the global industrial robots market are expected to have a burgeoning growth during the forecast period due to the advances in technology and rise in investment on R&D in robotic science. Apart from developed countries, emerging nations are also increasingly automating their day-to-day manual processes by incorporating robots as this enhances production efficiency and cost optimization.



A major trend that will impact the growth of the market is the miniaturization of sensors. This trend has been prevalent for several years and is expected to continue during the forecast period. Miniaturization has reduced the costs of sensors and, in turn, robots. There have been innovations in mechatronic components as well, which is in tandem with the increased prevalence of information and communications technology (ICT).
