A robot is an automated operator control system that is used to speed up industrial processes, applications, and productivity by minimizing the requirement for manual workers. Any robotic system is a combination of hardware that includes the robot and its allied components, a control system, software that is installed in the control panel, and services regarding the installation and after-sales services.
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Stringent health and safety regulations are the key factor driving the global robotics market growth. The need for personal safety and the reduction of work-related injuries has led the industry to adopt safe material handling equipment. Some industries, such as automotive and heavy oil chemicals, involve harsh working environments and constant exposure to toxic substances. These processes pose a high risk to human workers and can lead to accidents. Conventional handling of materials during processing can lead to permanent product damage and changes in material properties, and can also cause material contamination. Occupational injuries and physical exhaustion of human workers are common on assembly lines and can waste plenty of resources on industry players. This has led companies to use robotics to improve employee safety.
Robots can perform routine operations in a systematic manner with minimal human intervention, eliminating risks to human life. The use of robots not only reduces the risk of accidents but also ensures product safety, leading to cost savings for companies. Other costs arising from safety-related incidents include lost personnel, equipment damage, legal costs, lost production, investments in corrective actions, and replacement worker costs. As safe working environments become more important, more companies are expected to invest in robotics. Therefore, increasing the adoption of robots in the industry to reduce the number of accidents will boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The government initiatives in Europe to improve the robotics industry will fuel the global robotics market growth. Launched in December 2013, Horizon 2020 is the EU's largest research and innovation program worth USD 88.68 billion. The investment was made by European leaders and members of the European Parliament. Robotics is recognized as an important resource that can secure an edge in the global market.
European governments will help SMEs integrate industrial robots to improve efficiency and create local job opportunities. European production capacity will receive a positive boost by improving the performance and efficiency of SMEs. This will increase employment and create new jobs as companies can enter new markets that are considered expensive and inaccessible due to labor costs. Europe can therefore compete with economies that have advantages such as low labor costs and high automation rates. This will encourage small businesses to integrate more robotics into their factories for tasks such as metal casting. Hence, such government initiatives will boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
A shortage of skilled personnel can majorly impede the growth of the market. One of the major obstacles that could affect the market is the lack of technical know-how in the workforce. Human personnel requires knowledge of how robots work and regular maintenance to keep them running smoothly. Such lack of technical know-how often discourages end-users from using robots, as they see the downtime required for maintenance work as a significant loss. This is a challenge as end users are reluctant to learn and apply new operational technologies. Companies in the robotics market are trying to solve these problems by offering 24/7 remote support and services through cloud monitoring and other advanced services, but this is not the case for all companies. In order to differentiate themselves in the market, companies have to employ online and offline training and consulting methods to ensure that less tech-savvy end users get the support they need.
Lack of skilled operators and proper training creates a constant reluctance to undertake large-scale robotic automation as it requires significant investment in time, training, and budget for successful implementation. Familiarity with new technology and the reluctance of end-users to switch to new technology also influences the growth of the market. Therefore, the shortage of skilled manpower to operate robots is likely to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.

Over the years, industry players have placed increasing emphasis on improving production efficiency, operational excellence, and competitive advantage in a highly competitive scenario. Companies are increasingly turning to robotics to reduce costs and lead times, reduce human interaction to improve safety, and increase production throughout. Automotive, Metals & Engineering, and Electrical & Electronics industries will continue to thrive due to heavy investments over the forecast period to improve production capacity and production, and a focus on lightweight materials and energy efficiency achievable through the installation of industrial robots. Therefore, the increasing use of robots in major end-use industries such as automotive, metals and mining, food and beverages, etc. will boost the demand for industrial robots and spur the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Robots play a crucial role in streamlining the manufacturing process by handling repetitive tasks. They are widely utilized in various manufacturing operations, including material handling, machining, assembly, and inspection. These robots efficiently transfer materials, operate tools for machining, and perform tasks like spot welding and spray painting. As labor costs rise, the adoption of robots in assembly and inspection is expected to increase.

Automakers in countries such as China and India are investing more in manufacturing plant automation solutions to improve productivity and reduce cycle times, giving them a competitive advantage over other players. Major growth in the APAC region comes from countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea. During the forecast period, the demand for robots will increase as manufacturers adopt robotics and automation to address shortcomings from outdated equipment and technology, unstable production, and reliance on manual labor.
The market faced certain challenges during COVID-19. The overall economy, supply chains, industrial, commercial, and service sectors were severely impacted. To prevent the spread of the disease many countries imposed nationwide lockdowns, leading to temporary closures of transport, industry, construction, hotels, shopping malls, and other activities. The temporary closure reduced the use of robotics. This hindered the growth of the market in 2020. However, the healthcare industry increased its use of robotics during the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, in early 2020, a hospital in Chennai, India used service robotics to deliver food and medicines to COVID-19 patients. In addition, increasing development in the healthcare industry, increasing installation of robots in end-use industries such as manufacturing and automotive, and increasing adoption of Industry 4.0 propelled the growth of the market during the forecast period.
