Middle East and Africa Collaborative Robots Market Report 2021-2031 by Scope, Segmentation, Dynamics, and Competitive Analysis

Description

List of Tables

The collaborative robots market in the Middle East and Africa was valued at approximately US$ 100.21 million in 2023 and is projected to grow significantly, reaching around US$ 747.99 million by 2031, with an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.6% during this period.

Growth of Mobile Collaborative Robots in Various Industries

The rapid advancement of factory automation is driving the adoption of smarter technologies, particularly mobile collaborative robots (cobots). These autonomous devices are designed to perform essential tasks within factory environments, including material transportation, handling delicate components, quality control, product inspection, and logistical support. Their ability to navigate independently using advanced sensors, cameras, and navigation algorithms makes them invaluable in sectors such as electronics, automotive, and pharmaceuticals.

Mobile collaborative robots are particularly effective in transporting items across manufacturing facilities without human intervention. They can autonomously move parts, components, or finished products between different areas of a factory. Additionally, they can assemble parts while in transit, streamlining operations and reducing downtime between production stages. Unlike traditional automated guided vehicles (AGVs), which follow fixed paths, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) can dynamically choose the best route, avoiding obstacles and adapting to real-time environmental changes.

Recent Innovations in Mobile Collaborative Robots

Manufacturers of industrial robots are heavily investing in the development of mobile collaborative robots. For instance, in November 2024, Kassow Robot launched a new series of compact collaborative robot arms designed for integration with mobile robots. The Edge Edition cobots are compact, fully integrated manipulators that can operate while mounted on mobile robots, featuring a direct DC connection for battery power and remote control capabilities.

In another development, LOGISTEED, Ltd. introduced its autonomous mobile collaborative robot, "AutonMate," in October 2024. This robot is designed to enhance operations at the company's logistics center in Kashiwa, navigating autonomously and assisting human workers in picking tasks, unlike traditional AGVs that rely on fixed routes.

Overview of the Collaborative Robots Market in the Middle East and Africa

The Middle East is home to numerous oil and gas refineries, which significantly contribute to the region's GDP. However, the manufacturing sector is also experiencing rapid growth, supported by government initiatives aimed at boosting this industry. For example, Dubai has established itself as a major industrial hub to attract new manufacturers. The UAE's Department of Economic Development reports that the manufacturing sector is gaining momentum, accounting for approximately 80% of the country's trade, excluding oil, making it the second-largest contributor to the UAE's economy. Key manufacturing sectors in Dubai include rubber, plastics, food and beverages, printing, base metals, chemicals, and machinery. In Saudi Arabia, the dominant industries include chemicals, fertilizers, plastics, and metal manufacturing.

Africa is also witnessing growth in its manufacturing sector, with several countries attracting significant foreign direct investment (FDI). This expansion in manufacturing is expected to further increase the demand for collaborative robots in the region. Additionally, Israel's strong aerospace industry contributes to the market's growth.
