The technological advances in smart robots are notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the high cost of smart robots may impede the market growth. 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.
Key Smart Robots Market Driver
The technological advances in smart robots are notably driving market growth. Smart robots comprise decision-making capabilities related to operations and can solve issues that occurred in the assembly and manufacturing processes. Some of the smart robots can work in collaboration with human labor to perform various tasks such as order pick and place, packaging and palletizing, machine tending, and quality inspections.
To completely automate their assembly and manufacturing processes, major vendors are working on developing advanced smart robots that can observe and learn from human behavior and past experiences. Hence, vendors are integrating advanced technologies such as AI and ML in smart robots and are focusing on the development of advanced smart robots (humanoid robots) that can recognize human faces, observe emotional expressions, and recognize various hand gestures. Thus, the integration of technological advances in smart robots can add advanced capabilities such as force sensing, speech recognition, and emotions in them which will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Significant Smart Robots Market Trend
The rise in number of M&A activities is the primary trend in the market. The adoption of smart robots across various end-user industries, such as healthcare, automotive, and process and discrete manufacturing industries, is continuously increasing to achieve operational efficiency. To capitalize on the growing implementation of smart robots, vendors have increased their focus on the development and introduction of advanced smart robots.
To achieve this, vendors are entering into strategic alliances, such as M&A, with market participants, including technology providers, robot manufacturers, and component suppliers. This enables vendors to leverage the technological expertise of acquired companies and develop highly efficient and intelligent robots for multiple applications which will have a positive impact on the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Major Smart Robots Market Challenge
The high cost of smart robots is the major challenge impeding market growth. With rapid digitalization, many companies have increased their focus on automating their functions such as security, painting, material transfer, machine tending, and quality inspection. Several end-user industries, such as healthcare, automotive, industrial, and transportation, are investing heavily in advanced technologies such as AI, ML, and robotics. Companies are adopting smart robots, such as collaborative robots and professional service robots to automate processes. Smart robots include hardware such as sensors, actuators, power sources, controllers, and software that enables smart robots to perform the assigned tasks. To enhance the capabilities of smart robots, vendors are integrating multiple sensors and control systems. The cost of these components is high, which increases the overall cost of manufacturing smart robots.
Thus, the high cost of smart robots is hampering the growth of the market. Vendors that aim at excelling in the market need to focus on reducing the costs of smart robots to expand their market presence and gain a cost advantage over their competitors. Thus, such a high cost of smart robots will hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
