Components are exceptionally important in the robotics market, whether as part of the original equipment market or as part of the spare parts or upgrade market. Whether designed for use in light-duty applications such as consumer-focused task robots, hobby or educational robots, and some basic telepresence robots, or in industrial or military-grade applications, which are generally more robust, stronger and more expensive than their consumer-based counterparts, the overall performance of a robot is usually greater than the sum of its parts, but is ultimately dependent on those parts. This study addresses the market for robotic components for the period of 2011-2016, covering global markets segmented by region (North America, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa). It looks at the outlook for the development of the market for robotic components, segmented by component type (Servos, Actuators & Motors, Wheels, Tracks, Gripper/Manipulators, Processors, Microcontrollers, Cameras, Displays, Touchscreens, Touch or Pressure Sensors, Temperature, Motion or Other Sensors, Range Finders, Wireless Communication Units, Battery Units). For each component segment, unit shipment, ASPs and revenue forecasts are provided. The study also looks at the activities and developments of key industry players within the robotic components arena to determine future prospects for growth.
