Nuclear Response Robot Growth Strategy:

Nuclear Response Robots: Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2013-2019

LEXINGTON, Massachusetts (September 16, 2013) – WinterGreen Research announces that it has a new study on Nuclear Response Robots. The 2013 study has 503 pages, 184 tables and figures. Worldwide markets are poised to achieve significant growth as automated process is put in place to provide nuclear power capability worldwide. These responder robots are evolving a new core technology in which all participants in the industry and in governments worldwide must invest.

We all know the story, “Let me go I am old,” the very very brave man who went into the melted down nuclear facility in Japan, pushing his younger colleagues out of the way of harm.

Nuclear response robots are being built out so the nuclear industry can build out devices that leverage rapid safe response. Well, now is the time to use robots in this nuclear industry.

According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the team that put the study together, “Until now, robot technology has not been robust enough to reasonably supplement human tasks in handling of nuclear situations. That is no longer the case, robots have sufficient mobility, size, sensors, and tooling to be effective in a variety of situations.” Nuclear response robots are anticipated to have significant market growth as people in the industry begin to recognize the value of automated process in dealing with radiation.

Nuclear responder robots are mobile automated process platforms that are responsive to nuclear handling needs. They are emerging in the context of globalization and nuclear energy development. Nuclear robots are inherently local, they are used locally at nuclear energy installations and for materials handling where the materials may be radioactive. They are needed by personnel in particularly dangerous situations. Nuclear responder robots are evolving as specially designed ground robots used to address nuclear and defense needs to support managing radioactive materials.

Nuclear response robot market shares and market forecast analysis considers that the targeted robots have a new market based on robotic advances in size, mobility, sensors, and materials handling devices.

The move from a primary delivery with a cost structure that accounts for truck rolls to a portable device market is set to bring dramatic changes to the industry. For vendors that have relied on the distribution network and financing the distribution network, their hold on the market has shifted.

Nuclear responder robot markets at $55 million in 2012 are anticipated to reach $1.1 billion dollars by 2019. Growth is a result of new interest in introducing automated process into nuclear markets.

2013 to 2019

Report Methodology

This is the 564th report in a series of primary market research reports that provide forecasts in communications, telecommunications, the Internet, computer, software, telephone equipment, health equipment, and energy. Automated process and significant growth potential are a priority in topic selection. The project leaders take direct responsibility for writing and preparing each report. They have significant experience preparing industry studies. They are supported by a team, each person with specific research tasks and proprietary automated process database analytics. Forecasts are based on primary research and proprietary data bases.

The primary research is conducted by talking to customers, distributors and companies. The survey data is not enough to make accurate assessment of market size, so WinterGreen Research looks at the value of shipments and the average price to achieve market assessments. Our track record in achieving accuracy is unsurpassed in the industry. We are known for being able to develop accurate market shares and projections. This is our specialty.

The analyst process is concentrated on getting good market numbers. This process involves looking at the markets from several different perspectives, including vendor shipments. The interview process is an essential aspect as well. We do have a lot of granular analysis of the different shipments by vendor in the study and addenda prepared after the study was published if that is appropriate.

Forecasts reflect analysis of the market trends in the segment and related segments. Unit and dollar shipments are analyzed through consideration of dollar volume of each market participant in the segment. Installed base analysis and unit analysis is based on interviews and an information search. Market share analysis includes conversations with key customers of products, industry segment leaders, marketing directors, distributors, leading market participants, opinion leaders, and companies seeking to develop measurable market share.
