The increasing adoption of delta robots ensures the safety of the workforce in end-user industries. In addition, robots minimize industrial accidents compared with manual handling of processes. Furthermore, the circumstances under which part transfer activities are undertaken are not safe, especially in electronics and semiconductors and food and beverage manufacturing activities.
Moreover, the repetitive tasks in these industries using manual workers can cause motion injuries and mental fatigue. As a result, this would increase the need for robots in part-handling activities. Furthermore, the handling of delicate materials, such as glass in the semiconductor industry and knives or blades to cut fillets from fish in the food industry, may cause injuries to humans. Therefore, delta robots can handle such materials with the help of grippers and end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) easily and can support transport activities carefully. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market growth during the forecast period.
In industrial robots, the control system is programmed in such a way as to ensure that the devices' movements and performance cater to the end-user's needs. In addition, end-users or system integrators write the robot programs. Furthermore, companies ensure that the necessary development of robots includes features that make programming hassle-free.
Moreover, SMEs programming robots for industrial applications require a longer time due to changing product specifications. In addition, as production volumes in SMEs are smaller compared with large enterprises, the overall time taken to program the robots increases. As a result, it adversely affects the overall time to market and profitability. Therefore, some companies offer motion-logical controllers to improve the performance of robots. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
The technical limitations of delta robots have been the significant factors hampering their deployment in industrial premises. For instance, while selecting delta robots, factors including speed, load, positional accuracy travel, available space, and cost constraints need to be closely evaluated. In addition, the major challenge is the limited payload of the delta robots.
Therefore, this makes it difficult to use robots for heavy products such as glass bottles and heavy boxes. In addition, delta robots are not ideal for broad application in the industrial environment. In addition, the performance of the overall delta robots depends on the actuators that offer linear movements for the robots. Furthermore, the limited area of reach, low accuracy, and lower payload adversely affect their use in industrial operations. Hence, such factors are hindering the growth of the global delta robots market during the forecast period.
The 3-axis segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The robots in this segment are connected by a common joint above and below the arms mainly to facilitate activities like picking up and placing objects (pick-up-and-place robots). In addition, this segment offers up to 200 cycles per minute (where cycle time denotes the time taken to complete one complete cycle of its programmed task), and therefore, it is best suited for picking products up from a lot and placing them on conveyers belts on packaging lines, as well as packing and sorting applications in the cosmetics, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries.

The 3-axis segment was the largest segment and valued at USD 416.37 million in 2018. Moreover, the high-precision assembly operations provided by 3-axis delta robots will fuel their demand in the global delta robots market. In addition, the development of vision-integrated 3-axis delta robots is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the global delta robot market. Furthermore, the 3-axis delta robots are increasingly being used due to their lightweight and their ability to achieve greater accuracy and speed. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
Based on the end-user, the segment is classified into food and beverages, electrical and electronics, and pharmaceuticals. There is an increasing adoption of delta robots in the food processing industry for applications such as handling frozen meat, poultry, confections, and fish filleting. In addition, the robots are also used for flow packing, packaging, and handling bags. Moreover, the main factor that is bolstering the use of delta robots in the food and beverage industry is their hygienic design and their ability to perform tasks at high speed. Furthermore, the companies in the market are offering delta robots with different specifications and protection, such as stainless-steel options for food handling applications with IP69K ratings. As a result, it would ensure maximum hygiene during food and beverage production operations. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.

APAC is estimated to contribute 50% to the growth by 2028. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period. One of the main factors that is contributing to the market growth in APAC is the emergence of international companies that provide high-quality products in the region. In addition, countries such as China, Australia, Japan, India, and South Korea are likely to record a surge in demand for delta robots. Moreover, the strong presence of delta robots in most of the end-user industries, including food and beverage (F&B), electrical and electronics(E&E), and pharmaceutical industries, led to the reduction of the pricing of sub-components and the availability of more stable and advanced software have attracted a large number of international vendors in the market in APAC. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth in APAC during the forecast period.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the growth of the global delta robots market witnessed a significant slowdown due to the temporary closure of industrial and commercial sectors in North America. However, in 2021, the initiation of large-scale vaccination drives lifted the lockdown and travel restrictions, which led to the restoration of operations in industrial and commercial units. Such factors are expected to drive the market during the forecast period
