Technavio’s analysts categorize the global robot drives market into four major segments by the application. They are:
- Material handling
- Assembly line
- Welding
- Painting
The top three application segments for the global robot drives market are discussed below:
Material handling
Technavio research analysts forecast the global robot drives market by material handling to grow at a CAGR of almost 8% through 2021. The use of robots for material handling increases the productivity in industries and solves the problem of diminishing supply of unskilled workers. Also, for reducing the burden on manual labors, many industries are using robots for moving bulk payloads. Robots are useful in industries like chemical and hydrocarbons, where toxic raw materials are needed to be handled.
According to Bharath Kanniappan, a lead robotics research analyst from Technavio, “Robot drives are an essential element in enhancing and improving the outcome of robotic material handling in industries, as it involves handling components that vary in terms of their size, shape, and texture. Discrete industries, particularly, where small and delicate parts need to be physically moved, necessitates an effective control of the overall process. Owing to such requirements, servo robot drives are deployed within the robotic system to ensure high repeatability and precision control during material handling applications.”
Assembly line
The global robot drives market by assembly line is expected to grow at a CAGR of almost 8% during the forecast period. The growing demand for assembly lines robots in both automotive and non-automotive applications will further propel the global robot drives market. In non-automotive applications, the electrical and electronics, and heavy machinery industries are the major end-users due to an increased implementation of the assembly line in their manufacturing processes.
“There has been a rising demand for assembly line robots in various manufacturing sectors. Also, the year 2016 saw a contribution of over 28% of the entire market revenue generated by the assembly line robots,” adds Bharath.
Welding
There has been a growing demand for the adoption of robots for welding applications from end-user segments like automotive, heavy industries, and electrical and electronics. Technavio analyst forecasts that the welding segment will contribute more than 17% share to the global robot drives market revenue. Also, the growth of robotics in welding operations will be highly impacted by the introduction of advanced materials such as carbon fibers and composites in the industrial process.
