Middle East and Africa Robot End-Effector Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Type (Welding Guns, Clamps, Grippers, Suction Cups, Tool Changers, and Others), Application (Handling, Assembly, Welding, Processing, Dispensing, and Others), and Industry (Automotive, Metals and Machinery, Electrical and Electronics, Food and Beverages, and Others)

The Middle East and Africa robot end-effector market is expected to reach US$ 355.66 million by 2028 from US$ 160.84 million in 2021. It is estimated to register a CAGR of 12.0% from 2021 to 2028. The region is expected to witness a rapid increase in commercialization and industrialization, further boosting the growth of various sectors. Gulf countries are economically developed, while African countries are yet to match up to the economic conditions of these countries. The industrial robotics market in the region is in its infant stage. However, the uptake of industrial robots is anticipated to increase with time, as the region comprises several oil & gas refineries. Further, the manufacturing sector in the Middle East is flourishing, and the governments are taking significant steps to encourage homegrown manufacturing. For instance, Dubai has established one of the biggest industrial centers for attracting new manufacturers. The UAE’s Department of Economic Development has stated that the manufacturing sector is gaining pace and accounting for ~80% of the country’s trade that does not include oil, hence, representing the manufacturing sector as one of the biggest contributors to the country’s economy.

Turkey, Iran, and South Africa have faced the highest number of COVID-19 cases among the MEA countries. Other leading countries facing the economic impact of COVID-19 include Iraq, Israel, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. The region comprises many growing economies such as UAE and Saudi Arabia, which are prospective markets for robot end-effector providers due to the massive presence of a diverse customer base for the automotive and electronics industries. The COVID-19 pandemic would have significant effects on economies. The region has been negatively impacted as there is already pressure on the economy of various oil-based countries due to falling oil prices.

In addition to this, the factory lockdowns, business shutdowns, and travel bans are further aggravating the economic problems of the countries in the region. Hence, the estimated decline in the Middle East and Africa’s economic condition and impact of COVID-19 on the growth of various industries in the region is expected to impact the development of the market till mid-2021 negatively.

Based on type, the Middle East and Africa robot end-effector market is segmented into welding guns, clamps, grippers, suction cups, tool changers, and others. The grippers segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The primary function of a gripper is to convert some form of power into the grasping action of robotic fingers. The power input is supplied by pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric means. The grippers are majorly classified as mechanical grippers and non-mechanical grippers.

Further, the mechanical grippers use mechanical fingers to grasp the object. The fingers are also known as jaws. Similarly, the non-mechanical grippers possess the mechanical fingers to handle specific shapes of work parts. The increasing adoption of collaborative robots owing to their benefits and features is driving the growth of the robot end-effector market in manufacturing industries.
