The growing demand for industrial automation is expected to propel the industrial robotics market. Industrial automation involves the use of control systems, machinery, and technology to automate tasks and processes within industrial settings. It integrates various technologies such as sensors, actuators, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), robotics, and software to monitor and control manufacturing processes. This demand for automation is driven by the need for increased efficiency, cost reduction, labor shortages, and technological advancements. Industrial robotics plays a key role in automation by offering advanced capabilities, flexibility, efficiency, and safety, ultimately enhancing productivity and competitiveness in manufacturing. For example, in March 2024, a report by Rockwell Automation, Inc., a US-based automation company, revealed that 95% of manufacturers are either using or evaluating smart manufacturing, a significant increase from 83% the previous year. Additionally, 94% of these manufacturers expect to maintain or grow their workforce due to the adoption of smart manufacturing technologies. Thus, the rising demand for automation is driving the growth of 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.
