The global manufacturing industry is rapidly expanding as many countries are establishing manufacturing plants in their localities. This expansion in the manufacturing industry is expected to embrace technological advancements in order to enhance the plant’s productivity and gain a competitive advantage. The expansion in the manufacturing industry is further driven by economic growth worldwide. Also, the technological revolution in the factories has been encouraging the manufacturing industries to further invest in emerging technologies such as automation in order to enhance their productivity and production cycle. Thus, the rapid expansion in the manufacturing industry is expected to drive the demand for collaborative robots globally and driving the collaborative robots market growth during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in disruptions in multiple supply chains across various industries, eventually leading to revenue loss for many large and small enterprises due to lockdowns imposed by governments of various countries to curb the spread of SARS-CoV-2. These disruptions in the supply chain temporarily discontinued the manufacturing processes of automation solutions.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on various industries, such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing, was severe. Due to the temporary discontinuation of operations across various production facilities, the procurement of automation solutions was impacted.
For instance, the pandemic adversely impacted the business of Siemens as customers canceled orders or postponed investments, which exposed the company to increased default risk, and its supply chain experienced difficulties in certain areas.

Europe has the largest collaborative robots market share in 2022. The region comprises several major manufacturing industries such as aerospace, machinery & equipment, automotive, shipbuilding, and military vehicles. The automotive industry of the EU is considered to be a crucial industry as it significantly contributes to the country's GDP (6.8%) as well as provides employment to millions of people in the region. EU is the leading producer of motor vehicles, and several premium automotive manufacturers are based in the region. Furthermore, the automotive sector of the region represents the largest private investor in R&D as well as it receives support from the government such as funds for R&D. The vehicle manufacturing industry is a strategic industry, which produces ~19.2 million cars, vans, buses, and trucks per year. Moreover, ~300 vehicle assembly and manufacturing facilities are located in approximately 26 countries across the region. Thus, a strong manufacturing industry contributes to the demand for collaborative robots and fuels the collaborative robots market growth in Europe.
