Rising demand for automation growing industrial cobot market

Rise in demand for automation, availability of affordable and energy-efficient industrial cobots, and surge in investment in R&D activities augment the growth of the global industrial cobot market. However, high installation cost restrains the market growth. On the other hand, growing robot installation in various industry verticals across the globe offers multiple opportunities to the market players.

According to the report, the global industrial cobot industry garnered $0.65 billion in 2018, and is projected to garner $12.48 billion by 2026, witnessing a CAGR of 44.8% from 2019 to 2026.

The material handling segment to dominate the market-

Based on application, the material handling segment accounted for nearly one-third of the total share of the global industrial cobot market in 2018, and is estimated to witness its largest share in terms of revenue throughout the forecast period. The cobots are used to ease material handling for various processes including manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, consumption, and disposal, automate.

However, the value-added processing segment is expected to portray the largest CAGR of 47.0% from 2019 to 2026. Value-added processing plays a vital role as it is helpful in handling high-volume operations and provides better quality, consistency, maximum productivity, safety, and reduced labor costs, which drive the growth of the segment.
