The global collaborative robots market size was valued at USD 1.23 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.0%, from 2023 to 2030. The growth can be ascribed to the increasing adoption of collaborative robots, or cobots, in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). These companies are increasingly investing in cobots to interact with humans in a shared workspace and automate manufacturing processes. The growth is further proliferated by technological advancements in the industry.

The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies in industrial robots is positively influencing the business space. Besides, the advent of 5G technology is also expected to stimulate the adoption of cobots in the manufacturing sector. The release of an industrial grade 5G wireless network by Nokia Corporation to meet the requirements of Industry 4.0 is a prominent example of such developments. The low-latency connectivity offered by 5G wireless solutions will help OEMs enhance robotic automation and increase the productivity, quality, and efficiency of the manufacturing processes.

The deployment of robots in industrial processes has also reduced the number of accident cases at workplaces. Moreover, they also significantly improve product quality, which is instigating their demand across various companies and enterprises. The increasing adoption of cobots in electronics, automotive, logistics, machine tooling, packaging, and assembling applications is expected to transform the outlook of the collaborative robots market over the foreseeable future.
