Robotics Market Size

Robotics Market Analysis

The Robotics Market size is estimated at USD 45.85 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 95.93 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 15.91% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• Due to the increased demand, numerous investments in the robotics sector have been made. The International Federation of Robotics reported that the demand for robots was fueled by investments in new car production facilities and the modernization of industrial facilities.
• For instance, in August 2022, Hyundai Motor Group invested USD 400 million in establishing the Boston Dynamics AI Institute to advance AI and robotics. The company's goal is to make "fundamental advances in AI, robotics, and intelligent machines," with resources focused on cognitive AI, athletic AI, and organic hardware design, with each discipline contributing to advancements in advanced machine capabilities.
• Robots have been incorporated into manufacturing processes to increase productivity and improve the quality of the corresponding vehicles. For instance, at its Sanand facility plant in India, Ford Motor Company employs about 450 robots to paint cars and perform body construction tasks. Additionally, one of Maruti Suzuki India's plants employs about 5,000 robots.
• Digitization and the Industry 4.0 revolution have encouraged the growth of automation among industries by requiring them to use more advanced and automated solutions, like robotics and control systems, to enhance their production processes. Robotics utilizes several key elements of Industry 4.0, including connectivity and data. Siemens and Google Cloud recently formed a partnership to integrate Google Cloud's data cloud and artificial intelligence/machine learning technologies with Siemens' factory automation solutions.
• Further, in March 2022, Mitsubishi developed a robotics system that can work as fast as humans and be controlled via voice commands. The new system uses Mitsubishi Electric's Maisart AI technologies, such as high-precision speech recognition, to initiate work tasks, after which operators can fine-tune robot movements as needed.
• Many businesses worldwide are automating their warehouses with robotics to save money on labor costs. For instance, in recent years, the number of operational industrial robots reached about 3800 (in thousand units). Alibaba also upgraded to robotic labor in one of its warehouses, dramatically reducing the labor workforce by 70% and opening up opportunities for a highly-skilled workforce.
• Curbing COVID-19 involved utilizing various robot technologies, such as cleaning and disinfection service robots. Increased uninfected demands opened this new place for service robots. As a result, most manufacturers registered new disinfection robots. Further, multiple manufacturing companies reported being benefitted from adopting industrial robots. For example, Procter & Gamble found that adding robots to its production lines allowed it to keep more workers on the job and produce more goods.
