An industrial robot battery is a specialized power source designed to provide energy to industrial robots, ensuring continuous operation during automated manufacturing processes. These batteries are engineered to offer high energy density, long cycle life, and resistance to harsh industrial conditions. They play a key role in maintaining operational efficiency, allowing robots to operate autonomously and reliably across production lines.
The main battery types in industrial robot batteries include lithium-ion batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, lead-acid batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and others. Lithium-ion batteries are preferred for their high energy density, rapid charging, and long cycle life. They are used in various robot types, such as articulated robots, selective compliance articulated robot arm (SCARA) robots, delta robots, collaborative (Cobot) robots, and mobile robots. Battery capacities range from below 1,000 mAh, 1,000 mAh to 5,000 mAh, 5,000 mAh to 10,000 mAh, and above 10,000 mAh. Key applications include welding, material handling, painting, palletizing, and inspection and quality control, serving industries such as manufacturing, logistics and warehousing, automotive, electronics, food and beverage, healthcare, and aerospace.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid rise in U.S. tariffs and the subsequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are having a major impact on the electrical and electronics sector, with semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals (essential for batteries and motors) subject to steep duties. Consumer electronics brands face profit erosion, as competitive markets limit their ability to pass costs to buyers. Industrial electronics manufacturers, meanwhile, grapple with delayed projects due to shortages of tariff-impacted components like printed circuit boards. Companies are responding by relocating assembly to tariff-exempt countries, increasing inventory buffers, and redesigning products to reduce dependency on restricted materials.
