Top Robotics Market Dynamics
Driver: Anticipated shortage of skilled labor in manufacturing industries
The manufacturing industries in countries such as the US, Germany, and China have experienced tremendous growth over the past decade; however, these industries are expected to face a workforce shortage within the next few years. The labor shortage is especially prevalent in jobs with many repetitive and ergonomically unfavorable tasks, such as packaging and monitoring in the food industry. In the US, the growth of the manufacturing sector, coupled with retiring workers and reluctance of millennials and Generation Z candidates to enter into manufacturing industries, is expected to create a skill gap in the coming years. To compensate for the shortage of workforce, stakeholders have to find solutions to improve productivity and substitute human labor. Increasing automation to counter the skill gap is one of the solutions adopted by companies, especially in developed countries. ARC Specialties (US), a manufacturing solutions provider, recently developed an Al-based pipe welding solution to perform difficult and complex welds using a Universal Robots (Denmark) UR5 arm. This was developed in response to the shrinking skilled workforce performing difficult and manual tasks such as painting and welding.
Restraint: Concerns over data privacy and regulations
The ethical issues concerning the ownership of data, especially with the rise of software services for robotics. Similar to other technological domains, a situation can arise where a small number of companies own the majority of customer information. The data captured by ground robots can be completely different from the data captured by drones. With the increase of domestic robots for household chores, education, and entertainment, the private information of individuals is available on the cloud. Third parties can often purchase this data, e.g., marketing agencies, and the privacy of individuals can be infringed upon. For instance, Amazon (US) and Google (US) have enabled voice activation and smart response for various robots such as Lynx (humanoid) and Roomba (vacuum cleaner). The voice from these devices can be infringed upon and misused. Hence, data security must also be considered. Other ethical aspects of robots, such as liability frameworks and the reuse of robot collected data for research or studies, also need to be considered by governments worldwide. The lack of technology standardization also complicates the integration of systems, as most equipment manufacturers use in-house interface protocols for communications. The consequences of a data breach are significant in sectors such as healthcare and military & defense and, therefore, requiring regulations without stifling the technology.
Opportunity: Increasing automation in electronics industry
The automotive industry and electronics sector has been the leader in selling robots in manufacturing for decades. In the years ahead, robotic automation should become more profitable for the electronics industry, especially because profit margins are tight. We are entering an age of customization. While the automotive industry has been focused on the production of vehicles for specific purposes, the electronics industry has always been more concerned with high-volume production of smartphones, laptops, and PCBs. Higher automation will allow electronics companies to innovate more efficiently and reduce the time required to create prototypes. Robots can be used in different stages of production, such as assembly, inspection, and packaging. New technology, such as random bin picking, enables robots to pick and assemble unsorted parts. Most of the workforce in electronic factories is still engaged in repetitive work. Investing in robotics means that companies can move their workers to more critical positions such as quality control. Collaborative robots are easy to incorporate into existing production lines and easily reprogrammed for a different application, making them very flexible and reusable. Some companies have even developed robots for specific tasks.
Challenge: Interoperability and integration issues with industrial robots
Interoperability is an important function in any factory or manufacturing unit. A modular framework must exist for both hardware and software to connect and coordinate various automation systems. The focus here is on the software used for programming, diagnosing, and monitoring. It is not uncommon for industries to use robot arms from different manufacturers. Companies may also need to reprogram robots due to a change in production and demand or accommodate different parts, such as vision systems and end effectors. It is the responsibility of the integrator, rather than the manufacturer or end user, to decide on the implementation and set up or programming of the robot. Interoperability issues present a big challenge, especially to SMEs, due to their unique requirements and lack of personnel to set up a complex automation setup. Industrial robots from manufacturers like ABB (Switzerland), YASKAWA (Japan), and Fanuc (Japan) support the Robot Operating System (ROS) but primarily use their proprietary control software, such as YASKAWA Cockpit or FANUC FIELD.
Top Robotics Ecosystem
The top robotics market ecosystem consists of a diverse range of participants, including OEMs, component suppliers, system integrators, and distributors. Robot OEMs are major players in the robotics industry, offering several kinds of robots-articulated, SCARA, parallel, and collaborative models-and through various industries. They do buy in third- party sources for drives and cameras but assemble and inspect themselves. Robot integrators understand client needs, design an automation plan, and then implement a robotic system in production. Most major industrial robot companies have global distributors and usually train them as well.
The service robotics market for professional ground robots accounts for the largest market share
Professional ground robots comprised the largest share of the leading service robotics market for the ground environment. Ground robots are used in commercial applications in various industries like health care, warehouses, hospitality, space research, law enforcement, and agriculture. These are service robots designed for professional applications rather than consumer use. They operate on land (as opposed to aerial or underwater robots) and are used across various industries. These robots are heavily used in industries such as agriculture (e.g., autonomous tractors), logistics (e.g., warehouse robots), construction, and defense. Moreover, E-commerce in Japan has expanded substantially over the last few years. This sudden spurt in online shopping has reflected the acute shortage of warehousing facilities in the country. With inadequate warehousing infrastructure in place, the high gap between demand and supply compels to have new fulfillment centers. The most aggressive Japanese companies have made heavy investments in the field of R&D to conduct the latest and most advanced AGVs in material handling. Organizations like Hokuriku National Agricultural Experimental Station, Hokkaido University, Kyoto University, and Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishery are involved in agricultural research. These organizations are vital in the development of technologies associated with agricultural robots.
Collaborative industrial robots expected to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast
Collaborative industrial robots are gaining popularity SMEs by replacing traditional industrial robots. Rising wages, the lack of skilled workers, stricter margins forcing SMEs to automate, and the ease with which collaborative robots can be deployed are contributing to their vast growth. Collaborative robots are largely being adopted by SMEs as they provide a quick ROI of about 3-12 months. Also, many collaborative robot manufacturers like Universal Robots (Denmark) have easy-to-use programmable software that is compatible with a wide variety of end effectors, vision systems, and other peripherals. This reduces the cost and complexity of integration as compared to traditional industrial robots. As collaborative robots share the same workspace with a human worker, the adoption rate of these robots is expected to be higher in the years to come. Also, many collaborative robot manufacturers such as Universal Robots (Denmark) and Techman Robots (Taiwan) have easy-to-use programmable software, which is compatible with a wide variety of end effectors, vision systems, and other peripherals, eventually reducing the cost and complexity of integration when compared with traditional industrial robots. As these collaborative robots are capable of sharing the same space with a human worker, their adoption rate is likely to increase in the next few years.
