Market Insights

The global industrial robots (warehousing and storage robots) market is expected to grow from $2.98 billion in 2020 to $3.7 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.2%. The growth is mainly due to the companies resuming their operations and adapting to the new normal while recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges.

The high cost of the industrial robots limits the growth of the market. Industrial robots are capital intensive due to the use of the latest technology and sensors to operate efficiently and should withstand the weights. The cost of the setup for a warehouse operation of 50-100 robots costs between $2 million to 4 million which is a high investment. This high cost of robots prevents the easy adoption of industrial robots, limiting the growth of the market.

Major players in the industrial robots market are ABB, Amazon, Yaskawa Electric Corp, Honeywell Intelligrated, Omron Corporation, Fetch Robotics, Inc., Fanuc Corp, Bastian Solutions and Yamaha Robotics.

In April 2019, Amazon has acquired Canvas Technology based in Boulder, USA for an undisclosed amount. The deal adds another important piece to amazon's robotics group portfolio of fulfillment of center machines. The canvas autonomous cart utilizes 3D imaging and software solutions that can be applied to other hardware. Canvas Technology is an autonomous warehouse robotic start up.
