The Collaborative Robot Market

A Collaborative Robot (cobot) is a robot which is designed to support humans in a certain work by acting as a guide or assistant. Collaborative robots are built to follow human instructions or to react to human behaviors and activities in some way. Easy programming, faster setup, quicker payback in the robot industry, improved robot-human interaction and efficiency, safer work environment, increased return on investment, suitable for small-scale and mid-scale production and safely manages the complicated and dangerous tasks are some of the few of the benefits of the robot. Rising trend for automation of present manufacturing process to increase the productivity coupled with rising penetration of robots in all manufacturing industries are the key drivers for the collaborative robot market growth. Additionally, the key purpose of the robots is process optimization and process intensification. Thus, achieving the maximum yield with minimum expenses coupled with minimum errors is a favorable driving factor for the growth of the market in the coming years. Moreover, high returns on initial investment by using robots and cost of the collaborative robots is lesser compared with traditional robots and accomplish the tasks with more procession and precision, which is projected to foster the market size in the upcoming years. Moreover, the rising demand for collaborative robots from small & medium scale enterprises owing to its low cost and easy of handling is also further projected to propel the market growth. Further, surging demand for high payload potential cobots for heavier operations in the manufacturing industries is anticipated to create enough investment opportunities for the market growth. In addition, the rising trend for cobots along with autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and automatic guided vehicle (AGV) to create more flexible, easier for installation, affordable, more collaborative and other advantages is expected to accelerated the market growth in the coming years. On the other hand, the increased preference to low payload capacity conventional industrial robots over cobots in heavy-duty industries will impede the market growth.

Moreover, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic across the world has boosted the growth for deployment of robots for automation in the medical sector. The industry which has witnessed majorly high focus on robotics is the healthcare industry thus, creating opportunity for the market growth.
