Industrial Robotics Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Type (SCARA, Articulated, Cartesian, Others), By End-User Industry (Automotive, Manufacturing, Food And Beverage, Chemical, Consumer Electronics, Others), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2020 To 2025

Industrial Robotics market is projected to grow from US$45.762 billion in 2019 to US$66.841 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 6.52% during the forecast period. Growing adoption of automation solutions across end-use industries due to rising labor costs and stringent regulations regarding workers’ safety is driving the industrial robotics market growth. Robotics makes manufacturing and packaging more efficient by ensuring the quality of the products, checking product safety, preventing defective products or damaged products from entering the market, and tracing the products. The demand for maximizing production and in limited time is influencing manufacturers to invest in industrial robots. Implementation of advanced technologies like laser cutting, laser welding application, sensor technology, and robotics arms is helping the industry to reduce cost and save time. Robots increase accuracy even at high speed, detecting errors, defects with sensors helps in reducing rework and wastage. The surging usage of industrial robotics for tasks such as sheet handling and welding in heavy industries has resulted in a reduction in manufacturing cycle time and raw material wastage, thereby positively impacting the demand for industrial robotics solutions. The robotics market is to see a rise in demand due to the increase in focus on providing safety to workers, declining prices of chips and sensors, growing demand for automation and surveillance, and advancements in technology.

By Type

The Industrial Robotics market is segmented by type as SCARA, articulated, Cartesian, and others. A cartesian robot is used for picking and placing work in assembly operations, handling machine tools, application of sealant, and arc welding. Cylindrical robots are used for spot welding, assembly operations, handling of machine tools, and handling of diecasting machines. Scara robots do have a similar application to a Cartesian robot. An articulated robot is a robot with at least three rotary joints. Robot controllers help in controlling the task performed in the production process. The robotic arm is a mechanical arm, usually programmable with a function similar to a human arm. Articulated robots are projected to lead the global industrial robotics market throughout the forecast period, with the largest market share, in terms of value, in 2016. These robots are widely used across various industries owing to their structural and operational capabilities. Healthcare and packaging sectors are increasingly deploying articulated robots contributing to the global growth of the articulated industrial robotics market.

By End-User Industry

The market is also segmented by the end-user industry as automotive, manufacturing, food and beverage, chemical, consumer electronics, and others. The automotive industry is one of the largest end-users of industrial robotics owing to the adoption of the assembly line in the industry as it helps in improving quality and reduces warranty costs provides safety to workers and saves them from performing hazardous and difficult jobs. The food and beverage industry will see potential growth due to the rising demand for processed food and beverage products, especially in developing countries. Robots help in preventing contamination of food and help in increasing the efficiency by high output rate. Electronics will witness the fastest growth due to swelling demand for efficient electronic products, miniaturization of electrical and electronic equipment, and the growing complexity of the manufacturing processes.
