Gantry Industrial Robots Market Report 2026

The gantry industrial robots market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.4 billion in 2025 to $3.78 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial automation expansion, growth in automotive manufacturing capacity, increasing use of robotics in material handling, demand for high-precision manufacturing systems, availability of robust linear motion technologies.

The gantry industrial robots market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.75 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of smart factories, rising demand for high-load automation solutions, expansion of electronics and semiconductor manufacturing, growing focus on operational efficiency, integration of AI-based robotic control systems. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of high-payload gantry robot systems, increasing use in heavy-duty pick and place operations, growing adoption in automated welding applications, rising integration with smart factory control systems, enhanced focus on precision and repeatability.

The rising adoption of automation among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is expected to drive the growth of the gantry industrial robots market. SMEs are businesses that operate within defined thresholds for employee count, revenue, or operational scale and represent a significant segment of global economic activity. Gantry robots offer flexibility, precision, and adaptability, allowing SMEs to streamline production, meet diverse manufacturing needs, and improve overall operational efficiency. For example, in 2024, Startups Magazine, a UK-based publisher, reported that more than 58% of SMEs plan to implement AI in their operations, up from 40% in 2023. Therefore, increasing automation adoption among SMEs is propelling the gantry industrial robots market.

Major companies in the gantry industrial robots market are concentrating on developing advanced motion control solutions, such as the H-Bot system, to boost productivity and optimize workspace across various industrial applications. The H-Bot system is an innovative gantry robot configuration designed for efficient and flexible movement, making it suitable for tasks that require high precision and rapid positioning in industrial settings. For example, in July 2024, Rollon Group, an Italy-based company in the machine industry, introduced the H-Bot, a new gantry system characterized by its compact design and high dynamics. The H-Bot system features dual fixed motors on the X-axis, which enhances precise movement and minimizes vibrations, allowing for high dynamic performance. It offers a maximum stroke of 2500 mm on the X-axis and 1500 mm on the Y-axis, achieving speeds of up to 5 m/s while supporting loads of up to 10 kg. This makes it ideal for a variety of applications, including pharmaceuticals and 3D printing. Its versatile design allows for customizable motor placement and the integration of the Z-axis, along with automatic lubrication for easy maintenance.

In May 2023, Gudel Group AG, a Switzerland-based manufacturer of high-precision machine components and turnkey automation systems, partnered with Speedcargo Technologies Pte Ltd to introduce a fully automated robotic solution for air cargo unit load device (ULD) palletizing. This partnership aims to automate end-to-end air-freight ground handling, improve cargo throughput, enable dynamic storage and efficient buffer retrieval, and optimize ULD build-up using precision gantry robots. Speedcargo Technologies Pte Ltd, based in Singapore, specializes in AI, computer vision, robotics, and advanced algorithms for air-cargo logistics.
