Robotic Software Global Market Report 2024

The robotic software market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $14.34 billion in 2023 to $17.93 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25%. The growth observed in the historical period can be credited to several factors, including the expanding adoption of robots across diverse industries, heightened requirements for precision and accuracy particularly in fields such as surgical procedures, advancements in robotics technology such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, the declining costs associated with robot work cells, and the enhanced speed and throughput capabilities of robots.

The robotic software market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $44.31 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several key drivers. These include the escalating demand for automation solutions spanning various industries, facilitated by the integration of cutting-edge robotic solutions empowered by innovative software. Furthermore, the forecasted period predicts the emergence of new application domains for robotics, such as logistics, healthcare, and consumer services, which in turn will drive the demand for specialized software tailored to support these applications. Additionally, there remains a continued emphasis on enhancing human-robot collaboration and safety features within robotic systems. Major trends anticipated in the forecast period include the increased integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies, the proliferation of collaborative robots (cobots) equipped with advanced software capabilities, the adoption of robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) models, and a growing emphasis on interoperability and standardization within robot software.

The growing adoption of automation across industries is poised to drive significant growth in the robotic software market. Automation, characterized by minimal human involvement in manufacturing and service provision through technological solutions, is increasingly embraced for its ability to enhance efficiency, reduce operational costs, minimize errors, and optimize resource allocation. Robotic software plays a pivotal role in facilitating automation adoption by providing organizations with scalable, cost-effective, and user-friendly solutions to automate repetitive tasks and processes. This drive towards automation fosters operational efficiency, agility, and competitive advantage in today's digital economy. For example, in January 2022, according to the State of Process Automation Report 2022 by Camunda, a Germany-based open-source platform, over four in five respondents (82%) of the surveyed 600 IT professionals from North America and Europe indicated that process automation is a higher priority for their organization compared to the previous year. Therefore, the increasing adoption of automation across industries is fueling the growth of the robotic software market.

Key players in the robotic software market are concentrating on developing advanced technologies to maintain a competitive edge. Visual servoing technology, a technique combining robotics and computer vision to control robotic system motion using visual feedback from cameras, represents one such innovation. For instance, in April 2022, ABB Robotics introduced High-Speed Alignment software, a groundbreaking solution aimed at enhancing speed and precision in electronics assembly. This software enables manufacturers to boost 6-axis robot velocity by 70% and precision by 50%, significantly reducing time-to-market while elevating accuracy standards. Leveraging Visual Servoing technology, the High-Speed Alignment software empowers robots to achieve target positions for alignment tasks with exceptional accuracy levels ranging from 0.01 to 0.02 millimeters.
