The robot end effector market size was valued at $3,263.8 million in 2020, and is expected to reach $ 15,623.0 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 16.9% from 2021 to 2030.
Robot end effector is a robotic device fixed on the end of a robotic arm, which reacts to the operating system around the robot. It is used for operations such as picking & placing objects, assembling product pieces, and stacking cartons & parcels. Robot end effectors that are fixed on robot arm and act in coordination with grippers, process tools, and sensors. Robot end effectors are also known as robotic accessories, tool tips, robotic peripherals, robot tools, end-of-arm tooling (EOA), or end-of-arm devices.
The major driving factor of the global robot end effector market is increase in application of collaborative robots. These robots interact with the surrounding and operate accordingly. They adopt change of path or direction of operation as per the changes in the working condition. In addition, adoption of automation in the manufacturing industry to carry out activities at faster pace has led to increase in demand for robot end effectors. However, robotic systems that are deployed with robot end effectors are costly. Moreover, their installation in manufacturing industries is high, which incur additional cost. In addition, they are highly prone to damage while operating in heavy industries, wherein their replacement or repairing can cost a huge amount, thereby hampering the growth of the market, globally.
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 robot end effectors as well as their demand in the market, thereby restraining the robot end effector market growth. Conversely, industries are gradually resuming their regular manufacturing and services. This is expected to lead to re-initiation of robot end effector companies at their full-scale capacities, which is likely to help the robot end effector market to recover by end of 2021.
