Industrial Robotic Arm Market Segmentation:

Type (Articulated Robots, Collaborative Robots, Parallel Robots, SCARA Robots, Others)

The articulated robot segment is estimated to capture industrial robotic arm market share of around 48.5% by the end of 2035. Articulated robot’s high flexibility in handling various tasks is driving their demand in sectors such as electronics, automotive, and manufacturing. In these industries, particularly in production lines, numerous changes are observed related to designs or configurations. Articulated robot's ability to quickly understand new tasks without much reprogramming is contributing to its sales growth. Furthermore, continuous innovations are augmenting the sales of advanced articulated robots. For instance, in October 2024, Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. announced the launch of MELFA RV-12CRL vertical articulated robot with a 1,504mm reach and 12kg payload capacity. This industrial robotic arm solution is not only advanced but also cost-effective, and set to exhibit high demand for case packing, machine tending, and pick-and-place applications.

Payload Capacity (Up to 5 kg, 5-10 kg, 10-20 kg, 20-50 kg, Over 50 kg)

In industrial robotic arm market, up to 5 kg segment is set to capture revenue share of over 30.8% by 2035. The major user base of up to 5 kg payload capacity industrial robotic arms is small and medium-sized companies driven by their versatility and cost-effectiveness. Smaller payload robots consume less energy leading to low operational costs. Their compact size also mitigates the need for larger space making them a significant advantage for industries. Overall, these features effectively align with sustainable manufacturing practices, uplifting their sales growth.

Manufacturers are also investing in R&D to develop durable and efficient 5 kg loading capacity industrial robotic arms. For instance, in March 2021, Comau announced the launch of the RACER-5-0.80 (Racer-5 COBOT) collaborative robot arm with a loading capacity of up to 5 kg. This advanced and compact cobot offers high accuracy, speed, and, versatility to carry out repetitive work effectively.
