"The market for 5-10 kg segment to hold second-largest market share during the forecast period."
The deployment of collaborative robots (cobots) with a payload capacity ranging from 5-10 kg is instrumental in driving growth in the field of factory automation. These cobots showcase remarkable versatility, adeptly handling a diverse range of tasks such as material handling, assembly, machine tending, and packaging. Their optimal balance between payload capacity and cost-effectiveness makes them a valuable asset, contributing to increased productivity, faster cycle times, and overall efficiency in manufacturing processes. Beyond economic considerations, these cobots prioritize safety by working seamlessly alongside human operators, reducing the risk of workplace injuries and enhancing the ergonomic aspects of the factory environment. Known for their flexibility in deployment, adaptability to changing manufacturing needs, and collaboration with human workers, cobots within this payload range are not only transforming factory automation but also making it accessible to a broader spectrum of businesses, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Their collective impact underscores a paradigm shift in modern manufacturing, emphasizing efficiency, safety, and flexibility.
"Assembling & Disassembling segment to hold the second-largest market share in the application in the Collaborative Robot market during the forecast period." Collaborative Robots (Cobots) play a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency and precision of assembling and disassembling tasks, specifically in screwdriving and nut fastening applications. In screwdriving, Cobots exhibit exceptional precision, repeatability, and force control, ensuring accurate screw application without the risk of over-tightening or stripping. Additionally, their ergonomic design reduces strain on human workers. For nut fastening, Cobots offer inherent safety features, allowing them to work in close proximity to humans, coupled with the strength and stability to handle higher torque requirements. Equipped with suitable end-effectors and programmed for specific tasks, Cobots can pick up, position, and tighten nuts with precision. Integration of vision systems further enhances accuracy, while adherence to safety protocols ensures seamless collaboration between humans and Cobots in the workspace.
"Market for electronics segment holds for second-largest market share during the forecast period."
Collaborative robots (cobots) play a crucial role in the electronics industry, particularly in handling small and delicate products with precision. Equipped with various sensors, these "sensitive robots" are well-suited for tasks such as product testing, quality control, and soldering PCBs. In product testing, cobots excel at inserting chips into testing machines and sorting them, reducing error margins and enhancing overall efficiency. The advantages of cobots in the electronics sector extend to augmenting human labor, accelerating manufacturing processes, boosting production capacity, and maintaining high product quality standards. Additionally, cobots contribute to worker safety by undertaking hazardous and repetitive tasks, allowing human workers to focus on more complex operations. In the fast-paced electronics industry, the agility of cobots is a key factor, enabling quick adaptation of assembly, testing, or packaging lines for new requirements. Their flexibility, ease of programming, and mobility make them valuable assets, with a potential return on investment typically realized in less than a year, even for small and mid-sized manufacturers.
"North America is expected to have the second-highest CAGR during the forecast period."
North America is one of the largest markets for collaborative robots. Collaborative robots are also increasingly being used in industries such as plastics, metals & machinery, and food & beverages in the region. North America comprises three countries-the US, Canada, and Mexico. Key players in this region are Rethink Robotics GmbH (US), Precise Automation (US), and Productive Robotics, LLC (US). Robotiq (Canada) is one of the key collaborative end effector manufacturers with headquarters based in this region.
