According to Straits Research, “The global automotive robotics market size was valued at USD 6,404 million in 2021, expected to reach USD 17,207 million growing at a CAGR of 13.15% during the forecast period.” The global market for automotive robotics is anticipated to be driven by factors such as the increasing rate of automation in the automotive industry and increases in precision, safety, and productivity. In addition, labor cost reductions within organizations are driving market expansion. However, the high cost of industrial robots hinders the growth of the automotive robotics market. In addition, factors such as the incorporation of industry 4.0 are anticipated to present enormous growth opportunities for the market for automotive robotics over the forecast period.
The Growing Automation in the Automotive Sector and Increased Need for Accuracy, Safety, and Productivity to Drive the Global Automotive Robotics Market
To keep up with the intense competition, many businesses are automating their operational processes to reduce costs, save time, produce higher-quality products, and boost their overall productivity. Industrial robots in the production facility automate internal processes and minimize worker workload by collaborating with them to enhance productivity. The automotive industry has utilized automation technologies for several years, and market participants are advancing the industry's automation capabilities. Moreover, automotive manufacturers and suppliers collaborate with automation technology companies to implement these technologies in manufacturing facilities.
Utilizing industrial robots in an automobile manufacturer's production facility confers a competitive advantage. Using automotive robotics in manufacturing provides numerous benefits, including improved quality, increased capacity, decreased warranty costs, elimination of bottlenecks, and worker protection from hazardous and challenging tasks. In addition, when personnel is replaced with automotive robotics, the potential for erroneous workflow is decreased, resulting in a rise in the output of real, productive work. In addition, robots are primarily used in automobile assembly plants for painting and spot welding. There are opportunities to increase productivity by employing robots throughout the supply chain. Furthermore, robots do not experience end-of-shift fatigue; consequently, production cycles and peak production rates are consistent throughout the day. Accordingly, improvements in precision, safety, and productivity are driving the growth of the automotive robotics market.
The Incorporation of Industry 4.0 Version to Create Global Automotive Robotics Market Opportunities
Industry 4.0 is the new industrialization phase emphasizing automation, connectivity, real-time data, and machine learning. Industry 4.0 is also known as intelligent manufacturing and operations utilizing smart digital technology to create a more interconnected ecosystem for manufacturing and supply chain management companies. Industry 4.0 incorporates robotics as a fundamental component. It is anticipated that factories and manufacturing facilities will utilize new types of equipment, such as networked mobile and collaborative robots. Artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, and cloud computing will increase the dependability of industrial robots in the coming years. Additionally, the primary goal of industry 4.0 is to maximize productivity while minimizing downtime. Thus, incorporating industry 4.0 is anticipated to increase the market for automotive robotics and generate new opportunities.
