Robot Operating System Market by Robot Type (Articulated, SCARA, Parallel, Cartesian, Collaborative), Industry (Automotive, Electrical and Electronics, Metals and Machinery, Food and Beverages, Healthcare), and Region - Global Forecast to 2024
The global Robot Operating System Market is projected to grow significantly, with a valuation of USD 312 million in 2019 and an expected reach of USD 467 million by 2024, leading to a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.4% during the forecast period. Factors driving this growth include increased R&D funds for industry automation, rising adoption of collaborative modular robots, growing demand for Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS), and the increasing use of low-cost industrial robots.
Collaborative robots segment to record a highest CAGR during the forecast period
The safety features and the benefits of collaborative robots (Cobot’s) over the others to perform certain light-duty tasks, is driving the adoption of collaborative robots across the robot operating system market. Cobot’s can be integrated with various sensors, vision systems, and passive compliance. It also integrates with overcurrent detection features, which detect any imminent collision with humans and take appropriate action to stop their movement, or deactivate the arm, or move the joint in the opposite direction, to avoid injury.
Metal and machinery segment to showcase significant opportunities during the forecast period
The metal and machinery industry relies heavily on automation and robotics to control costs, boost productivity, and insulate workers from undue risks. In today’s challenging market for metal and machinery products and structural components, metal product manufacturers continue to look for new ways to streamline their operations and allocate their human workers effectively. Robotic automation solutions, not only enable them to increase production in less time and at less cost, but also to manufacture better quality products. Major application robots in the metals and machinery industry include machine tending, processing, welding, dispersing, assembly, and disassembly. The industrial robot in the metal and machinery industry also excels at bulk and heavy material handling of components for the assembly of agricultural machinery, earthmoving and construction equipment, recreation vehicles, utility trucks, and rolling stock.
Asia Pacific to hold the largest market size in 2019
The top countries contributing to the growth of the robot operating system market include China, Japan, and South Korea. APAC is projected to have the highest growth rate in the ROS market among all the regions. The high adoption rate of digital technologies and automation, especially in China, Japan, and South Korea, has made APAC a lucrative market. The growing development in these countries is expected to provide several new opportunities for the ROS vendors in APAC. The rising aging population is driving the demand for robots in countries, such as China and Japan. The increased application of robots in diverse industries, including education and healthcare, further supplements the growth of the ROS market in APAC.
