Overview:
The global industrial robotics market was valued at US$ 32.9 Bn in 2017, expanding at a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. The accelerating pace of automation is transforming widening range of industries. Therefore, robots have made their way and are spreading throughout warehouses and manufacturing facilities around the world. To a certain extent, the new wave of automation is driven by the same things that first brought robotics and automation into workplace: to free human workers from dangerous, dirty and dull jobs, improving quality by reducing variability, eliminating errors and to cut down manufacturing costs. Growing importance of workplace safety and rising demand for automating processes to increase efficiency, enhance safety and reduce human errors are some of the major factors driving the growth prospects of the market worldwide.
Industrial robotics revolutionized the conventional industrial processes and allowed manufacturers to increase productivity at higher quality and lower costs. Industrial robots have been in the industry for a long time now. In 1970, approx. 200 robots were used in the U.S., which later increased to 4,000 in 1980 and 5,500 in 1981 and is still increasing. According to International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the global sales of industrial robots increased by 31% and reached to a new record of 387,000 units in 2017.
