Industrial Robotics Global Market Report 2024

The industrial robotics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $40.39 billion in 2023 to $46.4 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to automation in manufacturing, reductions in labor costs, increased productivity, improvements in quality and precision, and the growing demand for mass production.

The industrial robotics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $81.8 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expanding applications of robotics in non-industrial sectors, the miniaturization of robotic components, the demand for customized robotics solutions, sustainability initiatives, and remote operation capabilities. Major trends expected during this period include the adoption of predictive maintenance solutions, the development of cloud-based robotics platforms, the emergence of robotics as a service (RaaS) model, advancements in human-robot collaboration, and the integration of blockchain technology for enhanced supply chain transparency.

The growth of industrial robotics is expected to be fueled by the increasing demand for industrial automation. Industrial automation involves using control systems, machinery, and technology to automate processes within industrial settings, integrating technologies such as sensors, actuators, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), robotics, and computer software for process monitoring and control. This demand is driven by efficiency gains, cost reductions, labor shortages, and technological advancements. Industrial robotics complements industrial automation by offering advanced capabilities, flexibility, efficiency, and safety, ultimately boosting productivity and competitiveness in manufacturing industries. For example, the World Robotics 2022 report by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) revealed that global industrial robot installations rose to 517,000 units in 2021, a 31% increase from 2020. Collaborative and traditional industrial robots accounted for 39,000 and 478,000 installations, respectively, in 2021, compared to 26,000 and 368,000 in 2020, highlighting the surge in demand driving the industrial robotics market.

Key players in the industrial robotics market are intensifying their efforts to develop advanced solutions such as human collaboration robots. Human collaboration robots are designed to work alongside humans in shared workspaces, fostering cooperation and interaction between human workers and machines. For instance, Yasaka Electric Corporation introduced the MOTOMAN-HC30PL Robot in August 2022, a collaborative robot designed for high-payload tasks. It features advanced safety functions, adaptable programming capabilities, and a robust build suited for palletizing and similar industrial tasks requiring human-robot cooperation. With a 30 kg payload capacity, this human collaboration robot enhances palletizing applications in various industries, addressing the demand for increased payload capacity, automation, and efficiency.
