The cartesian robot market size is projected to reach US$ 5.09 billion by 2031 from US$ 2.91 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.3% in 2023–2031. Custom design and advanced control systems are likely to remain key cartesian robot market trends.
Cartesian robots, linear robots, and gantry robots are all terms for mechatronic robots that move along linear axes. Gantry robots resemble gantry cranes and act similarly. However, gantry robots can do more than just lift and move. They can have specific functionality based on the requirements.
Cartesian robots are a popular and simple robotic technology that manufacturers have utilized for decades. Businesses across sectors and applications are reaping the benefits of this scalable technology. Cartesian robots are the most versatile robot platforms available. This scaling extends to both their potential physical size and ultimate strength. Cartesian robots can be as small as mini-3D printers or as huge as desired. There are many huge cartesian robots available now that are 50 meters (164 feet) or longer. This is due to the mechanics. Rack and pinion actuators enable manufacturers to build extremely big systems. Their mechanics are also the most powerful you'll find on modern robot platforms.
The world of industrial automation is changing dramatically. Advancements in technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), collaborative robotics, and IoT integration are among the few drivers driving this growth. Countless manufacturers employ industrial robots to automate jobs, improve worker safety, and boost overall production output while lowering waste and operating expenses. As industrial robots become more common in manufacturing environments, there is a greater demand for various types of industrial robots to suit certain applications and industries. For instance, according to a 2024 report, there are more than 3.4 million industrial robots in the world now. The global robot-to-human ratio in the industrial business is 1:71. Industrial enterprises intend to invest 25% of their capital in industrial automation over the next five years.
Cartesian robots serve an important role in automating medical procedures. In December 2020, The Allia IGS 7 angiography system is the latest generation of GE Healthcare's robotic-driven angiography system for image-guided therapy. It was unveiled during the 2020 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) virtual meeting. The system was not floor or ceiling-mounted but rather operated on a wheeled gantry, allowing it to be parked out of the way for simpler patient access or conversion to open operations. The robotic gantry was laser-guided to ensure precise positioning in the room and to allow for advanced imaging and guidance technologies available on fixed-based C-arm systems. The application of cartesian robots in such critical medical applications is creating opportunities in the market.
