Market Dynamic

• Drivers

The rise in automation in the automotive sector, as well as improvements in accuracy, safety, and productivity, are expected to fuel the worldwide automotive robotics market growth. Furthermore, the decrease in labor costs in companies is pushing market expansion.

• Opportunities

Factors such as the inclusion of Industry 4.0 are expected to create a significant opportunity for the growth of the automotive robotics market during the projected period.

• Restraints

The expensive cost of industrial robots stifles market expansion.

• Challenges

A significant upfront investment is required, and slow growth in the automobile sector in the United States can be considered as a major challenge for the global automotive robotics market.

Cumulative Growth Analysis

The automobile industry is the largest, with over 130,000 units deployed at all sites throughout the world. 95 percent of senior executives from automotive firms with revenues more than $1 billion anticipate that investments in robotics and automation would rise significantly during the projected period. However, 82% of automotive businesses lack resource alignment and readiness to execute quicker change in order to enhance sales, profit, and safety. This is a fantastic chance for robot makers to sell their products to OEMs.

For many years, the automobile industry has used industrial robotics in the manufacturing process. Armored robots account for a major portion of automotive robots, and by function, welding is the most common application of robots in the automobile sector. Robotic systems in the automobile sector are more cost-effective, efficient, and safe than human counterparts since they can complete their tasks faster.

Value Chain Analysis

According to the reports, the worldwide automotive robotics market is divided into four categories: component, type, application, and geography. The market is divided into components such as controllers, robotic arms, end effectors, sensors, drives, and others. It is classified into articulated, cylindrical, SCARA, Cartesian, and other types. It is subdivided into welding, painting, cutting, material handling, and other applications, depending on the application. The market is divided into four regions: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, and the Caribbean.

The market is divided into SCARA, Cylindrical, Cartesian, and Articulated segments. SCARA robots are used for vertical assembly, stacking and dumping heavy work components, and part transfer and assembly. In painting, different robots such as Cartesian, Cylindrical, and Articulated are used, and pick and place applications will demand a small payload but a large development range. While an assembly robot requires minimal room, it is very precise and fast. Depending on the intended use, the automobile robot will be programmed to execute specific duties.

The market is divided into four applications: welding, painting, material handling, and cutting. The automotive industry widely employs robots for spot welding, and as interest in automobiles has grown, so has the usage of robots in the welding process. SCARA and Cartesian robots are used in the welding process due to their organized frameworks that can coordinate the machine's arms. Material Handling encompasses a variety of functions such as part selection, transferring, packaging, palletizing, stacking and dumping, machine feeding, and withdrawal.

Segmentation Overview

The market is segmented on the basis of component, type, application, and geography. The global automotive robotics market trends are expected to witness decent growth during the forecast period.

By Application

Based on the application, the market is segmented into welding, painting, material handling, and cutting.

 By end-users

Based on the propulsion types, the market is segmented into SCARA, Cylindrical, Cartesian, and Articulated.

Regional Analysis

According to the reports, on the basis of region, The Global Automotive Robotics Market is divided into four regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the Rest of Europe), Asia Pacific (India, Japan, China, and the Rest of the Asia Pacific), and the Rest of the World (Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa).
