Overview of the global industrial robot positioners market

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global industrial robot positioners market to grow steadily at a CAGR of above 7% by 2021. One of the primary industrial robot positioners drivers  is the rising number of SMEs investing in automation. To harness the benefits of lower cost of operation using industrial robots, SMEs have started to adopt automation and robotics on a large scale. Because of this transformational change, vendors are trying to capitalize this opportunity by developing customized robots that are ideally designed to meet the needs and affordability of SMEs. Adoption of industrial robots has decreased the dependency on expensive manual labor and increased the productivity margins. Also, to offer products at an affordable price, several vendors have emerged on the global platform. These robots are much safer and can perform repetitive, tedious tasks, thus displaying high efficiency and productivity. This shift towards industrial robots is expected to drive growth in the industrial robot positioners market during the forecast period.

In terms of geography, APAC accounted for the maximum market share during 2016 and will continue to dominate the market for the next few years. Industrial users are increasingly adopting robotic technologies to support their business processes and enhance product deliverables for customers.  Also, APAC is potentially an attractive destination for several investors due to lower cost of land, raw materials, and labor in the region. Industries are also adopting advanced robots to carry out complex and intricate applications, which are difficult and unsafe for manual workers. This continued adoption is expected to propel the growth of the global industrial robot positioners market in the coming years.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

The global industrial robot positioners market is characterized by the mix of both globally established vendors and several regional vendors catering to the requirements of system integrators. Globally established vendors in the welding positioners market operate via indirect channels that involve sales through certified distributors, dealers, contractors, or system integrators. Further, few of the vendors also engage in direct sales of their products to the end-users, wherein they cater to the complete robotic solution needs of the customer.  

According to the industrial robot positioners analysis, the leading vendors in the market are –

• ABB
• Comau
• FANUC
• KUKA Robotics
• Yaskawa Electric

Other prominent vendors in the industrial robot positioners market include CLOOS Robotic Welding, DEUMA, Drupe Engineering, Easom Automation Systems, Hawk Technology, Industrial Robotix, IRCO Automation, Koike Aronson, Kyrus Europe, Lincoln Electric, Midwest Engineered Systems, NACHI-FUJIKOSHI, Osaka Transformer Company (OTC) DAIHEN, Production Design Services, Preston Eastin, and Wolf Robotics.

Segmentation by application and analysis of the industrial robot positioners

• Material handling
• Inspection
• Welding
• Logistics
• Assembly line
• Machine tending
• Paint robots

During 2016, the material handling segment dominated and accounted for a major part of the industrial robot positioners market share. Factors such the minimizing the burden of industrial workers and improvement of the safety and health of workers are the key contributors to the dominance of this segment in the global industrial robot positioners market.

Segmentation by type and analysis of the industrial robot positioner

• Single-axis positioners
• Dual-axis positioners
• Three-axis positioners

According to this industrial robot positioner research, analysts have estimated the dual-axis positioners to dominate the industrial robot positioner during the forecast period. The capability of these positioners to be maneuvered in a clockwise or anticlockwise motion to induce the required application is the major contributor to the dominance of this segment in the welding positioners market.
