The cobots market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 55.70% during the forecast period, reaching a total market size of US$3,938.433 million in 2024. Cobots, or collaborative robots, are designed to aid human beings for specific tasks, which are highly complex in nature and require high precision. These robots work in a close association with humans. The robots can observe any unusual activity in their surroundings and can cooperate with humans without physical separation. Smaller, smarter, flexibility and user-friendly are some attributes which make cobots more attractive to be used in factories and industries. Increasing competition across various industries coupled with rising focus on automation is driving the demand for Cobots. Moreover, introduction of advanced robotic technologies and their attributes such as user friendliness and safety are some of the factors driving the growth of global cobots market. The major market restraint is the high initial investment in the solutions and rigorous training program for the employees to interact with these robots which require significant time and capital expenditure and leads to lesser adoption by the enterprises.
