The report also includes current competitive scenario and profiles of major vendors/players.
Qualitative market analyses include identification and discussion of market structure, market overview, growth drivers, restraints and challenges, emerging market trends/opportunities, Porter's Fiver Forces as well as M&A landscape and fundraising trend.
On basis of end-user, the market is broadly segmented into automotive industry, electrical and electronics industry, machinery, metal industry, chemical, rubber & plastics industry, food & beverage industry and other industrial sectors. The automotive industry has been the largest consumer of newly ordered industrial cobots.
On basis of application, the market is segmented into material handling, assembling, dispensing, and welding among others. Material handling represents the largest application among all the usage of collaborative robots in industrial manufacture.
Geographically, the global market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific region, Latin America and the rest of world (RoW). Specific analysis and forecast over 2014-2022 have been covered for important national markets such as U.S., China, Japan, Germany, South Korea, and Mexico. APAC region leads the global industrial cobots market in terms of sales volume as well as annual revenue, followed by Europe and North America. Strongest growth potential also exists in the vast APAC market in the future with China and Southeast Asian countries expected to be the main driving engines for the growth.
The major challenges for industrial collaborative robots are safety concerns, increasingly strict regulation barriers, and low penetration and acceptance rates of industrial cobots. In addition, adding new functionalities and improving loading capacity & speed while keeping the price points low and the cobot safety will surely be a challenge for collaborative robot manufacturers.
