Industrial robotics market Dynamics
Drivers: Rising demand for collaborative robots across industries
Cobots are becoming more affordable and easier to program for novice users. For instance, Universal Robots (Denmark) provides the UR+ platform to enable users to program the robot and use various robot end effectors, vision systems, and add-on software from other manufacturers, including Robotiq (Canada), Schunk (Germany), PIAB (Germany), OnRobot (Denmark), Cognex (US), and Energid (US). The peripherals and software offered by these companies are UR+ certified to minimize compatibility issues with the robots manufactured by Universal Robots (Denmark). Enterprises of all sizes and are adopting collaborative robots for new and existing applications. For instance, BMW (Germany) has deployed a UR10 robot from Universal Robots for gluing and other dispensing applications. These stronger, faster and more capable cobots will accelerate the company’s expansion in high-growth segments including electronics, healthcare, consumer goods, logistics and food and beverages, meeting the growing demand for automation across multiple industries.
Restraints: High cost of deployment for SMEs
A robotic automation project can be challenging, especially for companies with no prior experience. Replacing human workers may not always decrease the operational costs for an organization. A single collaborative robot system can cost anywhere from USD 3,000 to USD 100,000. The price of an industrial robotic system ranges from USD 15,000 to USD 150,000. The cost of industrial robots, coupled with integration costs and the cost of peripherals, such as end effectors and vision systems, makes automation a costly investment for SMEs, especially when they are engaged in low-volume production. The price issue is more severe for companies involved in seasonal or inconstant production schedules.
Opportunities: Emergence of Industry 5.0
The concept of Industry 5.0 is a relatively new one. According to the European Commission, Industry 5.0 provides a vision of industry that aims beyond efficiency and productivity as the sole goals and reinforces the role and the contribution of industry to society. It places the wellbeing of the worker at the center of the production process and uses new technologies to provide prosperity beyond jobs and growth while respecting the production limits of the planet. Industry 5.0 complements the industry 4.0 approach by specifically putting research and innovation at the service of the transition to a sustainable, human-centric and resilient European industry. Industrial robots will be a critical component of the fifth industrial revolution. They will help close the design loop. By fully and efficiently automating the entire production process, humans will be left free to create and innovate without having to worry about production constraints. In contrast to Industry 4.0, Industry 5.0 aims to put the human touch back into development and production. It is expected to utilize the creative intellectual capability of humans optimally. Thus, the emergence of industry 5.0 will create a lucrative opportunity for collaborative robots.
Challenges: Safety concerns related to industrial robotics systems
Numerous safety issues are associated with industrial robots. Some robots, notably those in a traditional industrial environment, are fast and powerful. This increases the potential for injury as one swing from a robotic arm, for instance, could cause serious bodily harm. There are additional risks when a robot malfunctions or requires maintenance. A malfunctioning robot is typically unpredictable and can cause injury to workers. For instance, a robotic arm that is part of a car assembly line may experience a jammed motor, and the worker fixing the jam may get hit by the arm when it becomes unjammed. Similarly, a worker standing in a zone overlapping with nearby robotic arms may get injured by other moving equipment. Several Indian companies have reported crushing and trapping accidents, and impact or collision accidents caused by malfunctioning mechanical parts of industrial robots. For instance, in 2020, a 44-year-old welding worker at Automotive Stampings & Assemblies Ltd (Asal) in Pune (India) was killed after being hit on the head and neck by the arm of a robotic machine.
Industrial Robotics market to witness highest demand in APAC region
According to the International Trade Centre, China is the world’s largest exporter and importer of manufactured goods. The once easily available labor has resulted in the growth of several labor-intensive industries, such as clothing, textiles, footwear, furniture, plastic products, bags, and toys. However, the aging population in recent years has created a shortage of labor, leading to a rise in wages. This is compelling companies to adopt automation and industrial robots to reduce costs. China is moving from labor-intensive simple industries toward high-tech manufacturing goods, such as semiconductors, through its Made in China 2025 policy.
With Chinese telecommunication equipment giant Huawei being placed on the US blacklist, China aimed to produce 40% of the semiconductors it uses by 2021 and 70% by 2025. Japan is one of the leading producers of electric vehicles in the world. The arrival of fully electric and hybrid vehicles in the coming years is expected to boost the market for industrial robots due to new assembly line processes.
Consumer electronics products have witnessed a decline due to fierce competition from global manufacturers in China and South Korea. However, the demand for electronic components such as sensors and displays in the export market is expected to be high. With FANUC (Japan) and Yaskawa (Japan) as the top players in the industrial robotics market, the market in Japan is expected to grow at a steady pace. The presence of some of the most prominent players in the industrial robotics market space, such as FANUC (Japan), Yaskawa (Japan), and Mitsubishi Electric (Japan), is another major factor driving the market in this region.
Some of the prominent players in the Industrial Robotics Market include:
