This market research report presents a detailed segmentation of the SCARA robots market by end user (electrical and electronics, automotive, rubber and plastic, food and beverages, heavy machinery, and metal) and by geography (APAC, Americas, and EMEA). The leading companies in the robotics market are Adept, Epson Robots, Kuka, Toshiba, and Yamaha Robotics.
Technavio’s market research analysts estimate the global SCARA robots market to grow at a CAGR of around 5% between 2015 and 2019. The growing need to reduce human effort and errors in the production process has led to the adoption of SCARA robots across various industries, especially the automotive industry. APAC dominates the global market, covering around 75% of the total market share. The growth of the semiconductor and automotive industries in countries such as China, Japan, and India in this region is expected to boost the growth of the market.
The new market research report from Technavio provides a breakdown and analysis of the SCARA robots segments by applications.
“The rapid growth of the automotive industry has increased the demand for SCARA robots for material handling and assembling in the process lines. Growing workforce expenses in this industry has led to replacement of manual labour by these robotic machines. These robots can pick-and-place, load and unload the automotive components with better accuracy and precision. Also, increasing installation of miniaturized components is encouraging the growth of SCARA robots in this sector,” says Navin Rajendra, Lead Analyst, Industrial Automation, Technavio Research.
The development of advanced SCARA robots is one of the interesting trends in this market. Regions like the Americas and EMEA have shifted towards articulated and Cartesian robots due to their better functionalities and flexibilities. SCARA robots are being developed to handle heavy loads. For instance, KUKA, a leading vendor, has launched advanced robots that can handle 10 kg payloads with an arm length of 850 mm.
The key vendors in the global SCARA robots market are Adept, Epson Robots, Kuka, Toshiba, and Yamaha Robotics. The market is highly competitive with a large number of suppliers. Numerous local and regional vendors provide products with a high level of customization at comparatively low prices. The competitive environment in this market is expected to intensify with the surge in product extensions, better services, technological innovations, and mergers during the forecast period.
