"The global collaborative robots market is expected to grow from USD 1.13 billion in 2022 to USD 11.68 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 39.6% during the forecast period."
Collaborative robots, also known as cobots, are robotic systems designed to work alongside humans in a shared workspace. Unlike traditional industrial robots that operate in isolation, cobots are designed to be safe and flexible, allowing humans to work alongside them without the need for protective barriers or specialized training.
Cobots can be programmed to perform a wide range of tasks, from simple repetitive tasks such as picking and placing to more complex tasks that require collaboration and coordination with humans. They are equipped with sensors and other technologies that enable them to perceive and respond to their surroundings, making them adaptable to a wide range of environments and applications.
The adoption of collaborative robots in production processes is expected to be rapid among small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly in developed countries. Those SMEs that have already implemented collaborative robots are experiencing advantages such as improved competitiveness, increased production output, and higher product quality.
The factors that promote the growth of the market drivers of collaborative robots include increasing adoption of automation across various industries, improved human-robot interaction systems, and increased investment in robot technology. Also, the use of the systems in the e-commerce and logistics sectors, as well as the need for high-quality production in the manufacturing industries, have also played a great role in the development of the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in the adoption of robots in the healthcare sector. During the pandemic, hospitals used automated robotic units to disinfect patient rooms and surgery suites. Robots were also utilized to enforce mask-wearing and social distancing rules, as well as to spray disinfectant. Some hospitals programmed robots with thermal cameras to conduct preliminary screenings of patients and contain the spread of COVID-19.

Segment Analysis
Component Trends
"The hardware segment accounted for the largest market share."
The largest share of the hardware market for collaborative robots in 2022 was held by the robotic arm segment. This segment is also projected to have the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during the forecast period. The robotic arm is one of the most expensive hardware components in a collaborative robot and designing it can be complex and time-consuming. It must be built in accordance with the ISO/TS 15066 standard and certified accordingly.
Compared to traditional industrial robots, collaborative robots have a curved arm to ensure safety during human contact. The arm also needs to house drives, motors, and sensors while providing maximum resistance to dust and water, which can be a significant challenge. Consequently, due to its higher overall cost compared to other hardware components, the robotic arm is expected to dominate the collaborative robot market analysis in terms of value during the forecast period.
Regional Trends
"Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share."
By 2029, Asia Pacific is expected to hold the largest share of collaborative robots, both in terms of value and volume. The aging population in China and Japan has led to an increase in labor costs, driving the adoption of collaborative robots for automation in various industries.
Additionally, the Asia Pacific region is home to several prominent players in the collaborative robot market space, including FANUC Corporation (Japan), Yaskawa Electric Corporation (Japan), Denso Corporation (Japan), and Techman Robot, Inc. (Thailand), which is expected to boost the market further in this region.
