COVID-19 Impact on Industrial Robotics Market by Type (Articulated, SCARA, Parallel, Cartesian Robots), Industry (Automotive; Electrical and Electronics; Food & Beverages; Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics), and Region – Global Forecast to 2025
[111 Pages Report] Post-COVID-19, The traditional covid-19 impact on industrial robotics market size (including the prices of peripherals, software, and system engineering), is expected to grow from USD 44.6 billion in 2020 to USD 73.0 billion by 2025; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.4% during the forecast period. The projection for 2025 is estimated to be down by ~3% as compared to pre-COVID-19 estimation.
Dearth of skilled labor and solicitation of proposals by governments and public-private companies to mitigate the adverse impact of COVID-19 are key driving factors for the market. Although the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively affect the market growth till Q2 or Q3 of 2020, the market is expected to grow from 2021 onwards as the players in the industrial robotics market might till then clear their backlogs and start with the new orders. For instance, for the FY 2019, the Robotics business division of KUKA (Germany) had order backlogs worth USD 309 million (EUR 276 million).
“Post-COVID-19, articulated robots to hold a larger market share in 2020.”
Articulated robots are in use in a larger set of industries compared to other types of industrial robots. The automotive industry accounts for the major share of articulated robots as their production processes are heavily automated. Although most industries are affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic, articulated robots are still expected to maintain the highest share of the industrial robotics market during the forecast period. Other robots, such as SCARA and parallel robots, are more specialized and not as versatile in terms of payload and reach compared to articulated robots. Hence, articulated robots will still maintain the largest share in the industrial robotics industry throughout the forecast period.
“Even though COVID-19 has negatively impacted the automotive industry worldwide, it is expected to dominate the traditional industrial robotics market throughout the forecast period.”
Since the 1960s, the automotive industry continues to use industrial robots in their assembly line. The industry has seen the most extensive use for robots in manufacturing and assembling components such as engines, chassis, axles, and brakes. The automotive industry is one of the largest users of industrial robots; however, the market is expected to be severely affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has hindered production and significantly reduced consumer demand. Due to this, vehicle manufacturers are expected to reduce their investments in automation, affecting the market for industrial robots. Since other industries are also being affected due to the pandemic, the industrial robot market for the automotive industry is still expected to hold the largest share despite experiencing a decline in 2020.
“Post-COVID-19 APAC industrial robotics market is expected to maintain the highest share during 2020–2025.”
Although APAC held the largest share of the market in 2019, it is expected to experience negative growth in 2020. 2018 marked a decrease in the sales of industrial robots in countries like China due to the falling demand from the automotive sector and the effects of the US-China trade war. The recent COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 is expected to affect the market even further. As a result, major industrial robot manufacturers with operations in China are also likely to experience negative growth and revenue for the next two years. However, since countries in North America and Europe are similarly affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic, APAC is still expected to maintain the largest share of the market during the forecast period.
