When we develop market research, we go way beyond revenue projections and market sizing (though we cover those in depth, of course). We interview major players in every industry we cover and ask them where they see their industry going in the next five to ten years—to give you practical, on-the-ground market insights that supports decision making in your organization. 

Below is a selection of insights we gathered from ten industry experts about the future of their market, along with links to our full reports for a deeper dive and market data.

Humanoid Robots, Agility Robotics 

In 10 years, it will be much more common to see humanoid robots moving packages, delivering packages from autonomous vehicles, and starting to serve inspection tasks in dangerous places such as hydroelectric dams or under factory floors. I think it will compare in many ways to the automotive industry in terms of growth - doubling every year for 100 years and more, until they are ubiquitous in our lives.
