It accelerates the demand for industrial robots by offering high-speed and precise operation, that helps automotive industry to meet the production targets efficiently. 

For instance, in June, 2023, Guy’s and St Thomas’ become the first Trust in the UK to adopt the newest surgical robot that includes the Hugo robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system. Robotic assisted surgery involve minimal invasive leading to patients’ spending less time in hospital and faster recovery boosting up the demand of industrial robot market.

Moreover, the rising demand of autonomation in food & beverage industry is further accelerating the market demand of industrial robot. The manufacturers are increasingly turning to automation solutions through use of industrial robot to streamline production processes, improve efficiency, and ensure product quality and safety leading to its increasing demand in food & beverage industry. In April, 2023, Doosan Robotics launched NSF certified line of cobots that are specifically created for food & beverage industry. The light weight and slim design of the E- series robot can be easily installed in workspaces of Food & Beverage Industry.

However, the high expense associated with installation of industrial Robotics along with requirement of expertise training and efficiency in operating the Robotics acts as major constraints in growth generation of the market. 
On the other hand, the integration of AI and machine learning algorithm in industrial robot is expected to generate significant growth opportunities for the market in the forthcoming years. AI and machine learning algorithm would make Robotics learn from their experiences and automatically adapt to change environment by taking autonomous decisions. 

Market Segmentation

The industrial Robotics market is segmented on the basis of type, application, industry, end use and region. On  the basis of type the market is divided into articulated, SCARA, cylindrical, cartesian/linear, parallel and other. On the basis of application, the market is bifurcated into material handling, assembling, processing, welding and soldering, pick and place and others. On the basis of industry, the market is divided into automotive, electrical and electronic, healthcare and pharmaceutical, food and beverage, hospitality, metal & machinery and others. Regional breakdown and analysis of each of the aforesaid segments include regions comprising North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW.

Geographical Analysis

Asia Pacific holds the dominant share in the industrial Robotics market and is projected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. The leading countries of the region such as Japan, China, South Korea and India are at forefront of adoption of industrial robot in various sectors of the economy that includes healthcare, food & beverage, transportation and others. According to the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation Report of March, 2024 depicts that China is the leading market of industrial Robotics by volume. China had installed 18% more industrial Robotics per manufacturing workers. Around 52% industrial Robotics of the world are installed in China reflecting about the increasing adoption of industrial Robotics in manufacturing sector. Features of industrial robot that includes automation, quick performance and minimizing error capacity is increasing its adaptability in the market.

Moreover, the rising government initiatives such as tax benefits and incentives for adoption of robotics in industries in the region is accelerating the demand of industrial Robotics market. The tax benefit provided by the government doubled up the installation of industrial Robotics in various industrial sectors in Asia Pacific region. According to the International Federation of Robotics report as of January 2023, the Japanese government invested USD 930.5 million under the "New Robot Strategy" to position the country as the world's leading hub for robot innovation. This kind of governmental benefits make it more affordable for businesses to invest in robotic systems, boosting its demand in the region.
