Global Industrial Robotics Market Growth 2025-2031

Global Industrial Robotics Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Industrial Robotics market size is predicted to grow from US$ 13330 million in 2025 to US$ 17930 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2025 to 2031.

As the need for automation increases, industrial robots are attracting more attention as a solution for addressing labor shortages and expanding business opportunities. With their versatility and flexibility, industrial robots have the advantage of being easily deployable to sites where deploying a specialized machine is not ideal or where large-scale facility renovation is difficult.

In addition, by collaborating with a system integrator (SIer), a group of professionals specializing in deploying robotic systems, end-users can move through the steps from planning, testing, installation to operation with ease.

The Industrial Robot market covers Articulated Robots, Parallel/Delta Robots, SCARA Robots, Semiconductor & FPD Robot, and Cartesian Robots, etc. The typical players include FANUC, KUKA, ABB, Yaskawa (Motoman), Nachi, Kawasaki Robotics, Comau, EPSON Robots, etc.

According to International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the top 5 trends of industrial robots:

1) Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning:

The trend of using Artificial Intelligence in robotics and automation keeps growing. The emergence of generative AI opens-up new solutions. This subset of AI is specialized to create something new from things it’s learned via training, and has been popularized by tools such as ChatGPT. Robot manufacturers are developing generative AI-driven interfaces which allow users to program robots more intuitively by using natural language instead of code. Workers will no longer need specialized programming skills to select and adjust the robot´s actions.

2) Cobots expanding to new applications

Human-robot collaboration continues to be a major trend in robotics. Rapid advances in sensors, vision technologies and smart grippers allow robots to respond in real-time to changes in their environment and thus work safely alongside human workers.

Collaborative robot applications offer a new tool for human workers, relieving and supporting them. They can assist with tasks that require heavy lifting, repetitive motions, or work in dangerous environments.

The range of collaborative applications offered by robot manufacturers continues to expand.

3) Mobile Manipulators

Mobile manipulators – so called “MoMas” - are automating material handling tasks in industries such as automotive, logistics or aerospace. They combine the mobility of robotic platforms with the dexterity of manipulator arms. This enables them to navigate complex environments and manipulate objects, which is crucial for applications in manufacturing. Equipped with sensors and cameras, these robots perform inspections and carry out maintenance tasks on machinery and equipment. One of the significant advantages of mobile manipulators is their ability to collaborate and support human workers. Shortage of skilled labor and a lack of staff applying for factory jobs is likely to increase demand.

4) Digital twin

Digital twin technology is increasingly used as a tool to optimize the performance of a physical system by creating a virtual replica. Since robots are more and more digitally integrated in factories, digital twins can use their real-world operational data to run simulations and predict likely outcomes. Because the twin exists purely as a computer model, it can be stress-tested and modified with no safety implications while saving costs. All experimentation can be checked before the physical world itself is touched. Digital twins bridge the gap between digital and physical worlds.

5) Humanoid Robots

Robotics is witnessing significant advancements in humanoids, designed to perform a wide range of tasks in various environments. The human-like design with two arms and two legs allows the robot to be used flexibly in work environments that were actually created for humans. It can therefore be easily integrated e.g. into existing warehouse processes and infrastructure.
