Hence, this is responsible for driving the growth of the heavy payload robotic market.

However, high cost for purchasing the heavy payload robots restrains the heavy payload robotic arm market. The industrial robotic arm costs around $25,000 to $400,000, which increases with the payload capacity of the robotic arm that does not let many companies to afford and purchase the automated robotic arm, hence restraining the market.

Furthermore, during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, construction, manufacturing, hotel, and tourism industries were majorly affected. Manufacturing activities were halted or restricted. Construction and transportation activities, along with their supply chains, were hampered on a global level. This led to decline in manufacturing of heavy payload robotic arm as well as their demand in the market, thereby restraining the growth of the heavy payload robotic arm market. Conversely, industries have gradually resumed their regular manufacturing and services. This is expected to lead to re-initiation of heavy payload robotic arm companies at their full-scale capacities, which is likely to help the market to recover by end of 2021.

On the contrary, lack of skilled labors in different developed countries is letting to build new opportunities for the market. With smaller number of skilled labor and growth in investment on automation, the hour of performing a task gets reduced and hence for the heavier tasks, these heavy payloads robotic arm get more into use, which build new opportunities for the market.

The heavy payload robotic arm market is segmented on the basis of type, payload capacity, end user, and region. By type, the market is divided into articulated, Cartesian, SCARA, cylindrical, and others.
