Where Do Robots Work?

Looking at the revenue expected to be brought in with robotics in 2025, the medical field is spending the biggest share at 27 percent. The industry uses robots in the surgery field, but applications also include those in the areas of disinfection, rehabilitation and transport of supplies.

Use of domestic service robots has surged in recent years and is expected to reach almost 20 percent of robotics revenue in 2025. Other service industry applications add another 10 percent. While the advent of robo-vacuums has created this statistic, robo-lawnmovers are also part of the equation. Over in the service industry, robot servers might not be as widespread yet, but they are more expensive per piece. Barista robots are also already a futuristic reality.

Additional fields - all in the single percentage digits so far - include the entertainment industry, electric and electronic industries as well as automotive, logistics, agriculture and chemical industry applications.
