Gantry Robot Global Market Report 2024

The gantry robot market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.63 billion in 2023 to $3.93 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to the growth in e-commerce and warehousing, adoption in the automotive industry, precision and efficiency in manufacturing, safety and ergonomics considerations, and increased use in the aerospace sector.

The gantry robot market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.56 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rise in customization and small-batch production, the expansion of logistics and distribution centers, application in medical device manufacturing, a focus on energy efficiency, and the global expansion of electronics manufacturing. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the integration of vision systems and sensing technologies, Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, advancements in robotics technology, and the integration of collaborative robotics, as well as advancements in vision systems and sensing technologies.

The gantry robot market is anticipated to experience growth driven by the widespread adoption of automation. Automation adoption offers various advantages, including heightened productivity, efficient material usage, improved product quality, enhanced safety, shorter labor workweeks, and reduced manufacturing lead times. Gantry robots find applications in diverse fields such as scanning, digital printing, electronics assembly, AOI (Automatic Optical Inspection), and automation in areas such as welding, assembly, shipping, handling raw materials, and product packing. The increasing adoption of AI-augmented automation is projected to boost efficiency and scalability in IT departments, with a 40% adoption rate among big enterprise teams by 2023, as per Windward Studios' insights. This trend, along with an anticipated 70% increase in automation architects by 2025, contributes to the growth of the gantry robot market.

The gantry robot market is expected to witness growth propelled by shortages in skilled workforces. Skilled workforces are individuals possessing specialized knowledge and proficiency in specific fields. Faced with a scarcity of skilled workers, companies may turn to automation solutions such as gantry robots to maintain or boost production levels without heavy reliance on highly skilled labor. A survey from the National Council of Nonprofits in April 2023 revealed that 24.2% of organizations reported skilled workforce vacancies below 9%, 33.5% had openings between 10% and 19%, and 26.2% faced vacancies ranging from 20% to 29%. Additionally, 16.1% reported significant shortages with job vacancies exceeding 30%. Hence, the shortage of skilled workforces across various industries is anticipated to drive the growth of the gantry robot market in the upcoming years.

Major companies are embracing a strategic partnership approach to enhance the integration of robotics in industrial settings. This approach involves leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits and success. An example of this strategy occurred in November 2021 when Inther Group, a Netherlands-based global system integrator specializing in warehouse automation solutions, collaborated with SVT Robotics, a US-based software company facilitating businesses in adopting robotics technologies. The partnership aimed to expedite the deployment of industrial robotics, with a specific focus on Inther Group's distinctive gantry robotic picking solution, GRIPP. Utilizing SVT Robotics' SOFTBOT Platform, this collaboration addresses the demand for rapid deployment and simplified integration, significantly impacting the gantry robot market and supporting flexible supply chains.

Major companies are placing emphasis on launching products, particularly fulfillment centers designed to aid employees and cater to customer needs. Fulfillment center robots are utilized in large facilities to process and dispatch orders to customers. A notable instance is Amazon.com, a U.S.-based multinational technology firm, which introduced the Sequoia system and Agility Robotics' Digit in October 2023. This launch incorporates advanced features, including mobile robot integration with gantry systems, robotic arms, and a bipedal robot. These innovations optimize inventory handling and collaborative operations in warehouses, marking a significant transformation in the grocery robot market by enhancing processes, operational efficiency, and facilitating seamless collaboration between humans and robots in fulfillment centers.

Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the gantry robot market in 2023. The regions covered in the gantry robot market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa.

The countries covered in the gantry robot market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain. The gantry robots market consists of sales of light payload, light/medium payload, standard payload, heavy payload, extra heavy payload, and large-area gantry robots. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

Gantry robots exist in open and closed types, with the open gantry serving dynamic, quick, and precise movement of heavy loads. An open gantry utilizes a single X-beam and carriage plate supporting a YZ2-axis robot, providing flexibility and requiring less plant capacity. Payloads can be less than 50 kg, 51–350 kg, or more than 350 kg, with applications spanning factory automation, miscellaneous manufacturing, packaging machinery, and industries such as automotive, electrical and electronics, metals and machinery, plastics, rubber, chemicals, food and beverages, precision engineering and optics, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and more.
