Collaborative Robots Overview
Collaborative robots, also known as cobots are human-scaled machines capable of performing jobs in tough or challenging work environments. They work closely with humans and provide an impressive level of mobility, productivity, and output. Cobots are gaining momentum in many applications, especially in the manufacturing industry, owing to their remarkable performance in dealing with small and delicate objects. They are engineered to co-operate in the same work area with humans and usher in automation in the production environment. The task-sharing is done so that the robot handles all the dirty, manual, physically demanding, and repetitive jobs. At the same time, the human employee can concentrate on other things that are more befitting for their intellectual faculties. Cobots are mostly small-sized and capable of being deployed in a new work location following a short training period.
Global Collaborative Robots Market
Growth Drivers
High Adoption Rate of Collaborative Robots In Manufacturing Sector Leading To Increased Productivity and Reduced Costs
Collaborative robots or cobots have been adopted on a large scale by both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large-sized enterprises on account of multiple benefits provided by them like lower costs of operations, higher productivity at work, efficient and appropriate utilization of human intellect, etc. Collaborative robots with Machine Vision can be employed for detailed work. Industrial automation or factory automation refers to connecting all the factory equipment to augment the reliability and efficiency of process control systems. This, in turn, leads to lower costs, increased flexibility, and overall reduced environmental impact.
Nowadays, major car manufacturers are also being used to scale up productivity and improve the quality of their vehicles. Furthermore, one of their significant advantages is that they can auto-service and don't require human assistance during maintenance-related tasks, thus significantly contributing to the productivity and profitability of the company. These are some of the significant factors spiking the growth of the global collaborative robots market.
Growth Restraint
High Initial expenditure, Limited Speed, and lack of self-learning capability
Although collaborative robots are expected to exhibit a high market growth rate during the forecast period, some factors are likely to hinder the growth. One of the major ones is the high initial expenditure incurred for procurement, integration, accessories, programming, maintenance, etc. Furthermore, Cobots have a limited speed, thereby not suitable for high-speed applications. The majority of them lack self-learning capabilities and thus require human supervision. These are a few factors anticipated to hamper the market growth during the forecast period 2022-2028.
Impact Of COVID-19 On Global Collaborative Robots Market
COVID-19 pandemic, a deadly transmittable disease, emerged from China and spread worldwide. China being the primary market in the APAC region, has been negatively impacted due to the pandemic in 2020, while the repercussions could be faced globally. Some of the market's foremost companies, such as ABB, Universal Robots, and FANUC, headquartered in Europe and the Asia-Pacific, have seen a significant decline in sales in 2020.
The COVID-19 slowed collaborative robot employment in numerous major industries, such as metals and machining, automotive, electrical, and electronics. Moreover, the overall supply chain ecosystems have been affected across all industries due to consecutive lockdowns. In addition, industries like automobiles and general manufacturing are rapidly declining since robotics solutions play a critical role in them.
However, focusing on positive impact, robots and automation are playing an increasingly prominent role in aiding to protect people and handling the supplies they need to transition to home learning and remote working. Additionally, cobots play a major role in the medical sector by assisting in the disinfecting of hospitals. Therefore, the market situation is likely to improve in the forthcoming years.
Global Collaborative Robots Market– By Component
Based on the component, the global collaborative robots market can be segmented into two categories: hardware and software. Amidst the segmentation, the hardware Segment accounted for a larger market share in 2021. The hardware segment entails drones, exoskeletons, welding robots, robotic arms, end-effectors, controllers, drives, sensors, motors, power supply, and others. Drones play a significant role in the manufacturing sector by inspecting and repairing the material delivery pipes high above the industry floor, thus protecting the human employees of the industry.
Similarly, exoskeletons help augment human efforts. In the manufacturing industries, various tasks have to be performed repeatedly within a minute or even less; thus, the aid of the exoskeleton the manufacturing process by distributing the weight of heavy parts. Welding is another time-consuming task that is ideally appropriate for the cobots. Cobots can handle Arc, laser, TIG, ultrasonic, MIG, plasma, spot welding, soldering, and brazing. The UR+ platform offers all the software and hardware needed to start the automotive welding application. For instance- The Olympus UR Welding system is a low-cost welding solution for small automotive part manufacturers.
Global Collaborative Robots Market– By Payload Capacity
Based on the payload capacity, the global Collaborative Robots market has been segmented into the following categories- up to 5kg, 6-10kg, 11 kg, and above. Amidst the segmentation, the 11 kg and above sub-segment is projected to show the highest market growth rate during the forecast period, owing to the requirement of the automotive sector to perform important activities like assembling spares and components, building the engine, torquing bolts for automobiles, etc., Other segments like up to 5 kg and 6-10 kg are also expected to exhibit a healthy market growth rate owing to its ability to execute many and repeated operations at a fast pace.
Global Collaborative Robots Market– By Application
