3. Robotic Palletizer Companies - FANUC CORPORATION (Japan) and KION GROUP AG (Germany) are the Key Players

The robotic palletizer market is projected to grow from USD 1.4 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 1.9 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2024 to 2029. The need for automated solutions is increasing mainly owing to the growing labor shortage and the need for workforce optimization. It is becoming challenging to find and retain a qualified and skilled workforce which is why robotic palletizers are becoming increasingly popular. They can operate 24/7 without breaks or fatigue, which significantly boosts productivity compared to manual labor forces.

Major players in the robotic palletizer market include FANUC CORPORATION (Japan), KION GROUP AG (Germany), KUKA AG (Germany), ABB (Switzerland), Krones AG (Germany), Schneider Packaging Equipment Company, Inc. (US), Honeywell International Inc. (US), Kaufman Engineered Systems (US), Concetti S.p.A. (Italy), and Sidel (France), among others. New product launches, collaborations, and acquisitions were the key strategies adopted by the players in the robotic palletizer market ecosystem to enhance their product portfolios, increase their market share, and expand their presence in the robotic palletizers market.

For instance, in January 2024, KUKA AG (Germany) launched the second generation of the KR QUANTEC PA palletizer; it includes optimized weight and center of gravity as well as improved drive units, which are built on the latest technology for gear units and motors. Also, provides a perfect balance between axis velocity and acceleration – for the best cycle times.

Similarly, in January 2024,  FANUC CORPORATION (Japan) also introduced M-950iA/500 a serial link palletizing robot, which has a payload capacity of 500kg. The M-950iA/500 is a serial-link robot offering a wider range of motion compared to standard parallel-link robots. It can extend its arm upright and rotate backward with minimal interference.

FANUC CORPORATION (FANUC) is one of the world's largest manufacturers of industrial robots and automation systems. It is renowned for its cutting-edge technology and innovation in the fields of robotics, CNC (computer numerical control) systems, and factory automation. The company operates in four business segments: Factory Automation (FA), Robot, Robomachine, and Service. It provides palletizers under the Robot business segment.

FANUC's industrial robots, including those from the Robotics segment, are versatile and can be integrated into various material handling applications, including palletizing. FANUC robots have been used in the implementation of palletizing systems in logistics, manufacturing, and distribution industries. The company has presence worldwide and has offices in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and South America.

KION GROUP AG (KION) is one of the key manufacturers of forklifts, warehouse equipment, industrial trucks, palletizers, and order fulfillment stations. The company, along with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the development of forklifts, warehouse equipment, palletizers, and other industrial trucks for the distribution and manufacturing industries.
