Several applications of robotics in non-automotive sectors such as food & beverages, life sciences, and logistics have augmented growth of the market. The growing implementation of automation processes in these sectors has created a substantial demand in the North America robot sensors market. These initiatives also support the progress of low-cost robot systems to penetrate robotics in most applications.

Growing number of initiatives by the government is another factor boosting the market growth. Huge investments are being made by the government in research & development of new technological advancements. National Science Foundation (NSF) has invested USD 700,000 to USD 1 million in 21 smart services system projects. These initiatives also support partnerships and collaborations for the development of new technologies. National Robotics Initiative was formed in 2011 that aimed at increasing the development and use of robotics in several sectors. For instance, NSF researchers are trying to deploy robots in elderly care, which is expected to contribute the market in the coming years.

Key industry players in the region are Emerson Electronics Company, Rockwell Automation, Honeywell International, Inc., and Texas Instruments, among others. They are expanding their businesses to establish their footprint in the North America robot sensor market. For instance, in August 2018, Texas Instruments planned to extend its manufacturing facility in Dallas, U.S. to increase its manufacturing capacity, which will further increase its market penetration. Additionally, huge investments are made in R&D by companies to deliver new technological solutions which are projected to improve the share of market.
