The Global Industrial Robotics Market Size is Expected To Reach USD 65.7 Billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 14.1% during the forecast period 2022 to 2032.

An industrial robot is one that has been designed to automate labour-intensive manufacturing tasks such as those required by a constantly moving assembly line. They are placed in fixed positions within an industrial plant as large, heavy robots, and all other worker tasks and processes depend around them. In automation applications, these robots help to increase productivity while lowering costs and producing high-quality goods. The majority of robots are made up of drives, end-effectors, robotic manipulators, sensors, and controls. The robotic controller is the brain of the robot that assists in command delivery. As robot sensors, microphones and cameras are used to keep the robot aware of its surroundings. Rising demand for high-quality products (which require proper end-to-end visibility in the manufacturing process), the need for energy conservation, and a growing emphasis on workplace safety are some of the major factors driving the market. This market is also expected to be driven by incremental technological advancements, as well as a sustained increase in the development of manufacturing facilities. Robots can be used throughout the entire manufacturing cycle, from assembly to palletizing, and advances in end effectors and vision systems are increasing demand for robots.

Driving Factors

Industrial robots are in high demand in a wide range of industries, including automotive, pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, packaging, and equipment. This requirement, however, is based on the type of robot that they need to place throughout their facilities in order to harness industrial activity and cut costs. Additionally, Industry 4.0 has accelerated the development of new technologies such as AI-enabled robots and collaborative robots, which enable industries to use robots to simplify various processes, increase productivity, and reduce errors. These robots improve the accuracy, efficiency, and safety of data collection in remote areas, allowing for real-time monitoring and effective mitigation strategies. Additional R&D is required to address climate change challenges.  The increasing adoption of Industry 4.0 in manufacturing across the globe is one of the major drivers driving the growth of robotics in various industries and thus driving the growth of the industrial robotics market during the forecast period.

Restraining Factors        

The higher initial investment required for small organizations with little or no relevant expertise. A large capital investment is required for procurement, integration, programming, accessories, and maintenance, among other things. This could restrain market growth. Small and medium-sized businesses find it difficult to park large sums of money (ROI) due to low-volume manufacturing and a poor return on investment.
