Primary Research
Extensive primary research was accomplished after understanding and analyzing the semiconductor market for robots scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with key opinion leaders from both demand- and supply-side vendors across four major regions—North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and RoW. Approximately 30% of the primary interviews were conducted with the demand side, and 70% with the supply side. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. Various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and administration, were contacted to provide a holistic viewpoint in the report.
Notes: Other designations include technology heads, media analysts, sales managers, marketing managers, and product managers.
The three tiers of the companies are based on their total revenues as of 2024; Tier 1: >USD 1 billion, Tier 2: USD 500 million–1 billion, and Tier 3: USD 500 million.

Bottom-Up Approach
- Shipments of various robot types (industrial robots, professional service robots, personal & household service robots, and drones) were identified through primary and secondary research.
- The number of semiconductor components integrated into each robot type was mapped across compute, memory, sensors, connectivity ICs, PMICs, and others.
- Robot shipments were multiplied by the average number of components per robot to calculate component shipment volumes.
- Component shipment volumes were multiplied by the average selling price (ASP) of each component category to derive the global number.
- The process was repeated for all robot categories, including articulated robots, humanoids, drones, cleaning robots, delivery robots, and others.
- The global semiconductor market size for robots was derived by summing revenues across all robot types and component segments.
- CAGR was estimated based on robotics penetration rate, industry adoption trends, and demand-supply dynamics for semiconductors.
- All estimates were validated through discussions with key stakeholders (semiconductor vendors, robotics OEMs, and domain experts) and cross-checked with company reports, press releases, and industry databases.
Top-Down Approach
- Focusing on the top-line investment and spending being made across various industry ecosystems
- Building and developing the information related to revenue generated through key semiconductor products used in robotic systems
- Carrying out multiple on-field discussions with key opinion leaders (KOLs) across each major company involved in the development of semiconductors for robots
- Estimating the vertical split using secondary sources, based on factors such as the robot type and the semiconductor component mix (compute, sensors, memory, connectivity, power management, actuation, and analog/mixed-signal)
- Estimating the regional split using secondary sources, based on various factors such as the number of players in a specific country and region, robot adoption maturity, and types of semiconductor products demanded
