Driver:

Strong Adoption of Industry 4.0 to Drive Growth of the Market.

Industry 4.0 refers to the growth in automation of traditional industries through technical breakthroughs such as the internet of things (IoT) and cyber-physical technologies to make factories smarter. Robotics has been fundamental in advancing Industry 4.0, resulting in heightened productivity and proficiency in manufacturing operations. Productivity has risen significantly due to robot's usage for various manufacturing processes. Robots can perform repetitive jobs faster and more precisely, resulting in faster manufacturing. The robots have eliminated the requirement for human workers to perform hazardous activities through the automation of manufacturing processes, resulting in a reduction in workplace accidents.

Additionally, robotic systems can perform continuous monitoring and quality checks during manufacturing, ensuring product consistency and quality. Robotics in industries has evolved from expensive, massive, and bolted-to-the-floor robots, which are generally unscalable for connected factories, to relatively affordable, flexible, automated intralogistics smart robots. Intralogistic ones are dedicated machines that automate distinctive processes with intelligent capabilities, allowing them to operate independently from humans. The rising applications of such robots, from automating mundane tasks, efficiently transporting or delivering materials, and attracting new talent to offset labor shortages to further Industry 4.0 adoption, are thus furthering the market growth globally.

Segmental Analysis:

The robot market is segmented based on type, organization size, and vertical. The market is segmented based on type into industrial and service robots. Industrial robots are further segmented into articulated, cartesian, and others, while service robots are further segmented into aerial, ground, and marine. The market is bifurcated by organization size into SMEs and large enterprises. Based on vertical, the market is segregated into aerospace & defense, automotive, electronics & semiconductor, healthcare, IT & telecom, manufacturing, retail & e-commerce, transportation & logistics, and others. By geography, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South America (SAM).

Large enterprises acquired the largest market share in 2022 and are expected to continue their domination throughout the forecast period. However, the SME segment is anticipated to witness a faster growth rate, buoyed by the rise in digital transformation and wide adoption of robotic solutions among such companies. Additionally, the declining prices of several types of service robots are augmenting the adoption of robots by SMEs. Furthermore, the rise in labor costs is compelling the SME segment to adopt alternative strategies to reduce their operating expenditure. While the usage can incur a high capital expenditure at the first instance, the accuracy and efficiency of a robot compensate for the initial cost and can offer a better return in the long run. Such factors are expected to enable higher adoption of robots by the SME segment.
