According to the research report titled ‘Global Programmable Robots Market Size study, by Component (Hardware, Software), by Application (Education & Research, Entertainment, Household, Others) and Regional Forecasts 2020-2027’, available with Market Study Report, global programmable robots market was worth USD 2073 million in 2019 and is projected to expand with a CAGR of 14.9% during 2020-2027.
Global programmable robots market growth is majorly attributed to rapid technological advancements in the product for enhanced functionality. Increasing usage of programmable robots for learning & educational purposes, and surging demand for domestic consumer robotics are also fueling the market size.
For those uninitiated, programmable robot is an automatic device that performs tasks that are recognized through remote control or programs. These may be programmable robotic kits ranging from remotely operated to PC controlled robots and simple wheeled to intricate robots like humanoids. Such type of robots aid in understanding and conceptualizing theories regarding designing and operating a robot as well as assisting in programming the robot using simple virtual programming language like Java, C, C++, and others. Programmable robots allow consumers to have a systematic thinking approach with respect to problem solving. These factors encourage the use of programmable robots among end-users such as hobbyists, researchers, and students, which in turn is facilitating the business scenario.
