Description

Cartesian Robot Market Size:

The Cartesian Robot Market is expected to grow from US$4.230 billion in 2025 to US$6.590 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 9.27%.

Robots known as cartesian robots have a manipulator mounted on an aerial system that enables them to travel between two parallel planes. Since the robots operate using the X, Y, and Z axis coordinate systems, programming them is simple. They are also not hindered by a shortage of floor space. Cartesian robots are made with axis options in mind and applications like gripping technology in mind, enabling increased functionality and output. These robots may operate concurrently with the other operations as they operate above or below the control surface, reducing operational expenses and freeing up floor space for other duties.

One of the main factors promoting the growth of the cartesian robot market is the increase in demand for automated material handling. Conventional loading requires a lot of labor, but cartesian robots can manage very high loads because of their structure and mechanical parts, making them effective for many materials handling applications and reducing labour expenses. Additionally, it is exceedingly expensive to own, rent, and maintain equipment used for handling materials, such as forklifts, trucks, and conveyors. As a result, businesses are using these robots more frequently since they can carry heavier loads than SCARA and 6-axis robots while also boosting volume. Thus, the expansion of the cartesian robot market over the forecast period is likely to be driven by these implementations in material handling.

Cartesian Robot Market Growth Drivers:

  • Increasing automation adoption to drive market growth

The market for cartesian robots is expected to expand due to rising automation usage. Adopting automation has benefits including boosting productivity, better material use, greater product quality, increased safety, fewer labour workweeks, and quicker production lead times. The use of automation also permits resource reorganization and frees extra time and energy. Cartesian robots have numerous uses in automation, electronic assembly, and Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI), among others. Other tasks for which these robots are used include welding, shipment, installation, handling raw materials, and product packaging. To increase productivity and sustainability in IT departments, for instance, Windward Studios predicts that by 2023, 40% of large business teams will transition to AI-augmented automation. Enterprises are also anticipated to hire roughly 70% more automation architects in 2025 compared to 2020. As a result, the cartesian robot market is expected to develop over the course of the research period as more end-user industries implement automation.

  • Growing industrial IoT to hold the market in good stead

The cartesian robot market has seen significant growth in the deployment of the IoT (internet of things). Leading players in the market have concentrated their efforts on incorporating the IoT in a variety of industries that aid in growth and profitability, assembly, higher manufacturing bottom-line output, packaging procedures, maintenance, as well as automated adjustment, thus enhancing production speed and efficiency. The capacity of the robot to switch from pre-defined routes to topology control based on the environment-sensing data would enable building administrators to accelerate their work processes and optimize building operations. Thus, the market is anticipated to increase as a result of these advances.

Cartesian Robot Market Restraints:

Industrial administrators encounter a variety of difficulties when installing these robots. These robots can't stand alone, therefore they need a mounting structure. Furthermore, applications that necessitate additional part alignment for challenging activities like the welding process are not well equipped for cartesian robots. Additionally, the actuators that allow these robots to move linearly are crucial to the entire robot's functionality. The 2- and 3-axis non-servo cartesian devices feature several parts, including switches, actuators, and cylinders, among others, creating a number of possible problem areas. During the analyzed period, these factors are projected to limit the market's expansion for cartesian robots.
