Global Robotic Palletizer Market 2023-2030

Global Robotic Palletizer Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by type (Articulated Robots, Collaborative Robots, Parallel Robots, Cartesian Robots and Others (SCARA Robots)), by Application (Case Palletizing and Bag Palletizing), and by End-User (Food and Beverages, Pharmaceuticals, Construction Industry, Personal Care and Cosmetics and Others), Forecast Period (2023-2030)

The global robotic palletizer market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period. The rising demand of robotics tool across several end-user industries to enhance efficiency, productivity and safety in the workplace is a key contributor to the growth of the global robotic palletizer market. In addition, lack of the rising labor cost is further driving demand for automation solutions. Further, rising investment by industries in robotics to cater the demand for automation. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), in 2022, European Union´s 27 member states installed almost 72,000 units, which resultant 6.0% rise in the sales. However, the high cost of these products and high number of cases of robotic palletizer malfunctioning may restrain its market growth.

According to the IFR, the top five adopting countries within the EU are Germany, Italy, France, Spain and Poland. IFR accounted about 70.0% of all industrial robots installed within the EU in 2022. Germany is by far the largest robot market in Europe, where about 26,000 units (+3.0%) were installed in 2022. This was a share of 37.0% of total EU installations. Globally, the country had the fourth highest robot density, following Japan, Singapore, and the Republic of Korea.

The automotive industry is traditionally the main customer of industrial robots in Germany. In 2022, there are 27.0% of the newly deployed robots were installed in this industry. This was 7,100 units, down 22.0% from the previous year. In the general industry, the main customer was the metal industry that installed 4,200 units (+20.0%) in 2022. This is above the pre-pandemic level that fluctuated around 3,500 units per year with a peak level of 3,700 units in 2019. Installations in the plastic and chemical products industry were back at a pre-pandemic level up by 7.0% to 2,200 units in 2022.

Segmental Outlook

The global robotic palletizer market is segmented based on the type, application, and end-user. Based on the type, the market is sub-segmented into articulated robots, collaborative robots, parallel robots, cartesian robots and others (SCARA robots). Based on application, the market is sub-segmented into case palletizing and bag palletizing. Further, based on end-user, the market is sub segmented into food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, construction industry, personal care and cosmetics and other (manufacturing, electronics and automotive industry). Among the end-user, food and beverages sub-segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share of the market, owing to the dynamic shipping of food products with no damage or spillage increases the demand of robotic palletizers in the market.

Case palletizing Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Prominent Share in the Global Robotic Palletizer Market

Among the application, case-palletizing sub-segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share of the market, owing to the growing adoption of enhanced efficiency, improving safety and productivity. Thus, the market players are also focusing on developing new and advanced products for catering to the growing demand across the globe. For instance, in August 2021,Geek+, launched a new solution for smart mixed case palletizing, co-developed with WSR solutions, a provider of intelligent warehouse management tools. The solution combined Geek+ autonomous mobile robots and WSR’s intelligent palletizing algorithm to help warehouse operators systematically handle the processing of multiple outbound orders in an efficient, safe, and flexible way.

Regional Outlook

The global robotic palletizer market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East &Africa, and Latin America). Among these, the Asia-Pacific robotic palletizer market is expected to grow considerably over the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand for automation in food and beverages industry and construction industries.

Europe is Expected to Hold a Prominent Share in the Global Robotic Palletizer Market

Among all regions, Europe is expected to hold a prominent share of the global robotic palletizer market. Major economies such as UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain has the huge potential for adopting robotic palletizer. One of the major drivers propels the demand for robotic palletizer in Europe include rising demand for automation technologies, rising industrialization and prominent robotic palletizer manufacturers. The presence of major players including KUKA AG, ABB Ltd., MIP Robotics, Comau S.p.A., and Bosch Rexroth AG is further contributing to the regional market growth. These manufacturers are actively partnering and collaborating with another players to cater the demand robotic palletizer in the market. For instance, in August 2022, Dematic Group collaborated with warehouse robotics provider Dexterity Inc. to provide full-task robotics as part of Dematic intelligent automation solutions. This partnership marked the next step in a beneficial relationship in which Dematicsold and deployed Dexterity robotics across the globe and facilitated Dexterity’s entry into the European market.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global robotic palletizer market include ABB Ltd., Armstrong LTD., Concetti S.p.A., DENSO Corp., Duravant LLC, FANUC Corp., Fuji Yusoki Kogyo Co. Ltd, Illinois Tool Works Inc., Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., KRONES AG, KUKA AG and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in February 2023, Rapid Robotics, Inc., collaborated with Yaskawa America, Inc. to expand solutions for industrial robotic arms. Through a partnership with Yaskawa America, Inc., the SF-based robotic workforce solutions company integrated a rapid deployment speeds and next-generation service to industrial applications.
