The limitations involved in open surgeries and laparoscopic procedures coupled with increasing advantages of robotic surgery systems are expected to boost the adoption rates of robot-assisted surgeries worldwide. For instance, the advantages such as smaller incision size, fewer complications, minimization of infection rates,and shorter recovery times are driving surgeons to adopt these robotic systems toperform various urological surgeries.The emergence of micro and nano robots in robotic surgical procedures is likely to have a positive impact on the market growth, owing to the potential advantages such as single incision surgery, and supplementary visualization. Also, the small arms and micro motors work on the body without the need for a large external machine. Such advantages will drive the adoption rates of these devices.The increasing inorganic growth strategies among vendors are likely to expand their expertise and presence in the market. For instance, Auris Surgical Robots completed its merger with Hansen Medical for a cash consideration of $80 million.The acquisition will add three different robotic systems to Auris Surgical's product portfolio.

Robotic end-of-arms tooling (EOAT) is the last aspect analyzed when implementing a robotic automation project. The cost of EOAT can be as low as $10 for a suction cup and over $1,000 for an electric gripper. Hence, its cost is not a big part of an automation project. However, it has a direct impact on robotic cell performance and throughput. End-users consider performance, purchase, operations, and recurring costs when choosing a robotic EOAT system. The purchase costs include costs of all EOATs, the cost of the tool changer, robotic programming for grippers, and spare parts. The operation costs include the cost of tool changeover, compressed air, and maintenance.Washdown robots have become popular in the food and beverage industry after the approval of robots and EOAT from Food and Drug Administration to use in direct food contact. The washdown robots are equipped with EOAT that can be chemically sanitized to make them aseptically clean. The approval of these robots in the industry will increase their adoption in food processing and primary packaging applications.The growth of the e-commerce sector has increased over the last decade,especially in India where the government is focusing on implementing smart cities.Robotic EOAT can handle objects with many different shapes and sizes and are suitable for high mix and low volume warehouses. The EOAT of the mobile robots employed in the e-commerce industry consists of grippers, vacuum end effectors,and suction cups to hold and transport objects.

The adoption of advanced technological innovations by vendors is contributing to the market growth of ultrasound equipment globally. For instance, Samsung developed WS80A series with Elite performance package, the first five-dimensional (5D) ultrasound equipment in the world. The product has become popular for fetus scan and women’s health, as well as assessing the fetus’ central nervous systemand cardiac functioning.In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global ultrasound equipment market for 2016-2020 (base year: 2015; forecast end year: 2020).

进入 5 月份以来，我国周边国际局势发生了新变化。虽然有美军轰炸机飞越南海、反导试验取得成功等事件影响，但传统上与中国关系较为紧张的国家和地区，包括日本、印度、韩国、东盟诸国等，正通过各种渠道缓和双方关系，合作协商的态势已然形成。我们认为，我国周边国际局势正进入缓和期，美军进行反导试验、轰炸机飞跃南海等个案不会改变整体外部环境趋向缓和的大趋势。 

回顾 2016 年军工行业业绩，军工行业上市公司业绩保持整体稳定状态，2017 年一季度部分上市公司业绩有所改善，但军工年底交货特点，一季度业绩释放空间有限。今年军工行业处在混改等改革和军机批产等中长期拐点利好兑现期，行业正全面向好。二季度在市场风险偏好变化等情况下，市场忽视军工行业基本面向好的变化，军工板块上市公司股价大幅回撤，板块整体被错杀，投资价值被低估。 

行业维持高景气度，预计未来3年行业净利润年均增速将维持20%左右；军工指数大幅回调，回到2014年11月的水平，即牛市启动初期的水平；我们研判军工板块：2017年下半年将以震荡态势为主。
