Robotic Grippers Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Type (Servo Electric Grippers, Hydraulic Grippers, Pneumatic Grippers, Vacuum Grippers and Magnetic Grippers), Design, Application, End User and By Geography

Robotic Grippers Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Type (Servo Electric Grippers, Hydraulic Grippers, Pneumatic Grippers, Vacuum Grippers and Magnetic Grippers), Design, Application, End User and By GeographyAccording to Stratistics MRC, the Global Robotic Grippers Market is accounted for $1.7 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $3.6 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 11.4% during the forecast period. Robot grippers are tools that industrial robots connect to the ends of their arms as end-effectors or end-of-arm tooling. The main purpose of robot grippers is material handling. The actual point of contact between a robot arm and the work item is a robot gripper. Robotic grippers are able to pick up, hold, move, and grab objects. Robots grip similarly to human hands. There are additional robotic grippers with finger structures available.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand for automation and advancements in robotics technology

Robotic grippers are in greater demand as a result of the advent of Industry 4.0 and the expanding need for automation across a number of industries. Robotic grippers are crucial parts of automated systems that are utilized in manufacturing and other sectors to increase effectiveness, productivity, and safety. New robotic technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and sensors have enabled the development of more sophisticated and advanced robotic grippers. These developments have made it possible for robotic grippers to carry out intricate tasks with more accuracy, speed, and adaptability.

Restraint:

High cost and technical complexity

Robotic grippers, particularly those with cutting-edge features and capabilities, can be expensive. This can make it challenging for certain businesses—particularly smaller ones with limited budgets—to properly invest in robotic grippers. Robotic gripper design and integration can be technically challenging and demand specific training and experience. This complexity may result in longer development timelines, the need for specialist maintenance, and higher overall ownership costs.

Opportunity:

Rising adoption in e-commerce and logistics

Robotic grippers that can handle and sort a variety of products are in more demand as a result of the expansion of the e-commerce and logistics sectors. Automating the handling and sorting of packages and products with robotic grippers has increased efficiency, decreased errors, and decreased prices. These opportunities will create possibility for the growth of the market expansion.

Threat:

Limited flexibility and safety concerns

Some robotic grippers have limited flexibility and adaptation since they are made for specific tasks or applications. If robotic grippers are only useful for a small number of employment opportunities, it may be challenging for businesses to justify the expense of the investment. Robotic grippers can be hazardous to employ, especially in fields like manufacturing where they may come into contact with humans. It might be difficult to ensure that robotic grippers are secure and do not endanger human operators.

Covid-19 Impact:

Due to the worldwide interruption of manufacturing operations, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is anticipated to have a substantial effect on the market in 2020. Additionally, the market will be unstable in the years to come due to rising trade tensions with China, one of the key regions in the market.

The servo electric grippers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Servo electric grippers segment is expected to dominate the market throughout the forecast period. Robotic grippers that are referred to as servo-electric grippers employ an electric motor and servo drive to precisely and repeatedly regulate the grasping force and position. In comparison to other types of grippers, such as pneumatic or hydraulic grippers, servo-electric grippers are more accurate and precise. Additionally, they are therefore perfect for applications requiring great precision and repeatability, such as those used in the semiconductor and electronics industries.

The needle grippers segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The robotic grippers market's needle grippers sector is anticipated to experience the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Robotic grippers known as ""needle grippers"" are used to grasp and handle products. There are many different uses for needle grippers, such as assembling, packaging, and inspection. They are therefore a flexible and adaptable solution for numerous industrial and production operations.

Region with largest share:

The robotic gripper market is dominated by the North American area, and this trend of dominance will continue during the projected period. This is a result of rising spending on R&D in this area and the early adoption of robot grippers because they are cost-effective and aid in raising productivity.

Region with highest CAGR:

Due to the rapid use of robot grippers in the region and their versatility for a wide range of designs and parts, the Asia-Pacific robot grippers market is anticipated to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Moreover, due to the expanding number of end-user industries as well as the rising demand for and adoption of automated industrial services, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to experience substantial market expansion.

Key players in the market

Some of the key players in Robotic Grippers market include Grabit, Soft Robotics, Bastian Solutions, SAS Automation, FIPA, RAD, Schmalz, Applied Robotics, IAI, EMI, Destaco, Zimmer, Robotiq, SMC, Festo and Schunk.

Key Developments:

In April 2019, OnRobot, launched VGC10, which is a compact electric vaccum gripper. This is smaller and lighter version of the comapany’s VG10 gripper, which is ideal for constrained environments and smaller robot arms.

In January 2019, Festo launched adaptive gripper. This gripper has silicone cap, which can fold itself over and grip objects of any shape, thereby creating a form-fitting grip on the subject.
