As robotics technology advances, industries are increasingly adopting robots to automate various strenuous tasks. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), over 540,000 new industrial robots were installed globally in 2023, bringing the total number of active industrial robots to over 4 million. While traditional industrial robots excel at repetitive tasks, they still face challenges in performing delicate tasks, handling fragile materials, and adapting to changing conditions. For example, robots in restaurant kitchens may cause more disruption than assistance.

According to a recent market research report, the industrial robot market is projected to reach $291 billion by 2035, a significant increase from the current market value of $55.1 billion. The report cites automation, advancements in artificial intelligence, and the rise of Industry 4.0 as key drivers of this growth. The automotive and electronics industries will capture major global market share, with East Asia identified as a particularly strong growth area, currently holding two-thirds of the market. The report also notes that growing global labor shortages and consumer demand for faster, more efficient product delivery are contributing factors.
