The global collaborative robots market is poised for rapid growth, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.1% during the forecast period. Valued at USD 2.2 billion in 2023, the market is expected to reach USD 20.5 billion by 2033.
The integration of cobots into industrial operations has notably reduced workplace accidents and enhanced product quality, driving their adoption across various industries. Retailers and e-commerce giants are increasingly investing in robotic technology to optimize logistics and supply chain processes, leveraging cobots to assist warehouse workers. The growing demand for cobots in the logistics sector is expected to create significant growth opportunities over the coming years.
A key factor fueling the sales of collaborative robots is their ability to enhance worker safety. Cobots are also proving valuable in managing supplies for remote work and home learning environments. The advent of 5G technology is set to further accelerate cobot adoption in the industrial sector. For example, Nokia Corporation has introduced an industrial-grade 5G wireless network tailored to meet the needs of Industry 4.0. The low-latency connectivity provided by 5G is expected to help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) improve robotic automation, thereby increasing productivity, quality, and efficiency in manufacturing operations.
According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), China dominated the global motor vehicle manufacturing market in 2021, producing over 26 million automobiles and commercial vehicles—substantially more than the combined output of other countries.
However, the high initial costs of acquiring, integrating, programming, and maintaining cobots, along with the need for additional accessories, could hinder market growth. Moreover, a shortage of skilled personnel in underdeveloped and developing regions presents a significant challenge to the market’s expansion.
Exhaustive Market Report: A Complete Study
Key Takeaways:
- The United States is expected to hold a large share of the global collaborative robots market over the projected period. Industrial collaboration robots, or cobots, are being used in the operations of businesses of all kinds across the country. This enables them to reduce labour costs, increase production, and improve quality.
- Asia Pacific collaborative robots market, driven by China and South Korea, is predicted to be significant over the forecast period. The expanding consumer preference for automation, artificial intelligence, and the emergence of other necessary technology presents considerable growth opportunities for the area.
- Owing to its increasing use in extremely labor-intensive applications in the automotive, electronics, chemicals, and semi-conductor sectors to handle large, costly, and delicate materials in order to minimize labour costs, the “material capacity” application type is expected to hold the prominent revenue, through the forecast period.
- As the demand for electronic components and semiconductors is increasing rapidly across consumer electronics, the “electronic & semiconductor” end user type, and is the most creative segment for key companies, accounting for a sizable portion.
Competitive Landscape:
Owing to the existence of both foreign and local rivals, the global collaborative robots market share is fragmented. Many companies have a substantial market share in their respective businesses. Organic advances, such as product approvals and the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technology in industrial robots, are commonly valued by large corporations. These factors are anticipated to very certainly drive the global collaborative robots market ahead.
