New York, Sept. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Global Collaborative Robots Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Application, By Component, By Payload, By Vertical, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 - 2028" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06321930/?utm_source=GNW
Cobot safety may depend on soft edges, low weight materials, speed and force limitations built in, or sensors and software that enforce safe behaviour.
Robotics-using sectors are under constant pressure to lower operational costs while boosting production and upholding necessary standards of quality. For example, Yaskawa introduced the HC20XP Human-Collaborative Robot in March 2020. It includes precise hand-guided education for quick robot system setup. The innovative 20 kg payload collaborative robot is ideal for applications where it is necessary for the robots to securely work alongside or close to humans. The first collaborative robot in its field to receive an IP67 rating is prepared for continuous usage in wet or splash-prone conditions.
Additionally, the cost of, ease of use, and complexity of the available collaborative robots for training purposes are all decreasing. This would primarily give businesses a variety of options, which will boost interest in and demand for such robots. Because collaborative robots utilize the most recent sensors, plug-and-play technologies, and autonomous robot programming from CAD data, companies of all sizes and scales may remain competitive.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
An extremely contagious illness called COVID-19, which first appeared in China, has since spread over the entire world. This pandemic had a negative effect on the market in 2020 because China is regarded as a crucial market in the APAC region. Few of the market’s top businesses are Universal Robots, ABB, and FANUC, have experienced a major decline in sales in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic hindered and slowed the adoption of collaborative robots in a number of important industries, like electrical & electronics, metals and machining, and automotive.
Market Growth Factors
High Rate of ROI in Comparison to Conventional Industrial Robots
The deployment of conventional industrial robots in production facilities calls for a complicated setup. These bigger robots demand a substantial number of fixed and linked engineering controls. Robotic arms, a variety of robot accessories, including controllers, grippers, end-effectors, and vision systems, are needed for these robots. Additionally, it needs additional gear like conveyors, fixtures, and safety fence because these robots cannot function inside the fencing like collaborative robots can.
Increase in the Demand for Automation in the Healthcare Sector Due to the Pandemic
The global COVID-19 pandemic epidemic has accelerated the introduction of robots for automation in the healthcare industry. The healthcare sector has seen a dramatically increased emphasis on robotics. Robotic automated systems have been employed to disinfect operating rooms and patient rooms all across the pandemic. For instance, in Shenzhen Third People’s Hospital in China, a robot named Aimbot patrols the hallways while dispensing disinfectant and maintaining the face-mask and social-distancing requirements.
Market Restraining Factors
Restricted Payload and Speed of Cobots due to its Inherent Design
The maximum payload for most collaborative robots is typically 15 kg or less. As a result, the majority of collaborative robots are utilized for low payload applications. A rise in payload frequently causes a loss in the robot’s repeatability and a rise owing to the increased sensors. Additionally, collaborative robots are built to move as quickly as a human arm, allowing for safe deployment next to a human. The mechanical design of cobots, notably the motorized robot joints, needs to take into account performance constraints.
Component Outlook
By component, the collaborative robots market is segmented into Hardware and Software. The software segment recorded a significant revenue share in the collaborative robots market in 2021. A range of programming languages and software packages are accessible for creating collaborative robot applications. Every cobot has a customized programming system that is simple to use and enables the robot to rapidly and readily pick up new jobs. Additionally, there is simulator software available that may be utilized to develop a strong robot integration before moving forward with the project’s implementation.
Application Outlook
Based on application, the collaborative robots market is divided into Assembly, Pick & Place, Handling, Packaging, Quality Testing, Machine Tending, Gluing & Welding and Others. The metal equipment, electrical, and electronic industries where specialized spare components are put together and fitted in the finished product are projected to grow as the automotive sector expands. In addition, the expansion of the manufacturing sector across various nations of the world would surge the growth of the segment during the forecast period.
Vertical Outlook
By Vertical, the collaborative robots market is fragmented into Automotive, Electronics, Metals & Machining, Plastics and Polymers, Food and Beverages, Furniture & Equipment, Pharma and Others. The electronics segment recorded a significant revenue share in the collaborative robots market in 2021. A cobot has the ability to place chips into test equipment and then sort them. In addition, a cobot is ideal for these kinds of delicate products since it is so accurate and can operate with great delicacy owing to integrated sensors. The electronics industry is embracing collaborative robots.
Payload Outlook
On the basis of Payload, the collaborative robots market is classified into Up to 5 Kg, up to 10 Kg and Above 10 Kg. The upto 5Kg segment acquired the highest revenue share in collaborative robots market in 2021. They optimize low-weight collaborative activities including picking, positioning, and testing while being lightweight and flexible. The introduction of sophisticated cobots with payloads in this range is creating new market expansion potential.
