The industrial robots market is projected to grow from USD 16.89 billion in 2024 to USD 29.43 billion by 2029; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.7% during the forecast period. factors driving the growth of the industrial robotics market include rising deployment of Industry 4.0 technologies, rapid advancement in factory automation technologies, and rising automation in electronics manufacturing. However, the requirement for extensive training and expertise for setting up high-end robots and the complexities associated with integrating cobots into diverse workstations are a challenge for the market in the near future. The major growth the emergence of industry opportunity for the market players is the emergence of Industry 5.0.

The market for handling application in the industrial robotics market is expected to have the highest share during the forecast period.

During the forecasted period, handling will be the industrial robotics market segment with the largest share. The biggest share of industrial robots during the forecast period is attributed to the heavy adoption in the automotive industry for activities such as moving vehicle bodies in assembly lines and mounting mechanical and electronic parts. The increasing growth of the e-commerce industry has caused a revolutionary change in logistic and warehouse positions, which put high demand on automated material handling systems. As online shopping rises exponentially, processing higher volume at high speed with accuracy becomes a challenge for fulfillment centers. Handling robots, therefore, which work to sort, package, and transport items, are quite essential in the industry.

Traditional robots segment in industrial robotics market is expected to have highest share during the forecast period.

The traditional robots segment of the industrial robotics market is anticipated to witness the highest share during the forecast period. These robots have been used much longer than collaborative robots, which have only gained traction in the last decade. Industries with heavily automated production processes, such as automotive, electronics, and metals, use these robots most efficiently.

FANUC CORPORATION (Japan) is one of the leading robotics companies, offers variety of robots for applications like material handling, welding, assembling, and painting. ABB (Switzerland) Robotics, a Swiss-based multinational organization, has a varied range of industrial robots for diverse sectors such as automotive, metal fabrication, and logistics. Other major companies in this sector are KUKA (Germany), Yaskawa (Japan), and Universal Robots (Denmark).

Asia Pacific is expected to have the largest share among other regions in the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is expected to have the largest share of industrial robots in the forecast period.
