An manipulator is a machine with a rigid steel manipulator arm that allow complex pneumatic tilts and rotations, even when the product being moved is handled outside it's center of mass. A human operator controls the machine, allowing for easy and precise movement of the manipulator to lift, lower and otherwise transport a product.In 2024, global sales of robots will reach 140,000 units, with an average selling price of approximately US$3,000 per unit.
Europe is the largest market with about 30% market share. North America is follower, accounting for about 23% market share. The key players are Positech, Indeva, ATIS Srl, Movomech, Zasche Handling, Dalmec, ASE Systems, GCI, Givens Engineering, Ergonomic Partners, Unidex, Manibo, Ergoflex, Vinca, Automech Systems etc. Top 3 companies occupied about 25% market share.
The main market drivers include the following:
Rising labor costs and structural contradictions in employment are forcing automation upgrades.
As the demographic dividend fades, manufacturing-intensive regions face challenges in recruiting workers, high labor costs, and high turnover. In particular, the cost of recruiting for repetitive and labor-intensive positions (such as assembly, handling, and welding) continues to rise. To stabilize production efficiency and reduce reliance on manual skills, companies urgently need to introduce robots to replace basic processes. Furthermore, the younger generation's increasing demands for a better work environment and career development are further exacerbating the labor shortage in traditional manufacturing, pushing robots from "optional equipment" to "essential" production needs.
Industrial upgrading and the demand for precision manufacturing are driving technological evolution.
In high-end manufacturing sectors such as automotive, electronics, and semiconductors, accelerated product iterations and increasing process complexity (such as micro- and nanoscale assembly and welding of special-shaped parts) are placing stringent demands on production accuracy and consistency. Robots, with their high repeatability, programmable flexibility, and multi-axis collaboration capabilities, have become a core component in achieving precision manufacturing. Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of flexible production lines and the "dark factory" concept requires robots to possess intelligent features such as rapid changeover, vision guidance, and force sensing to accommodate high-mix, low-batch production models, thereby expanding the depth and breadth of technology applications.
Policy support and a robust ecosystem are accelerating market penetration.
Many governments around the world have prioritized industrial automation, lowering the barrier to entry for companies to adopt robots through policy tools such as tax breaks, R&D subsidies, and demonstration projects. For example, China's "robot replacement" program, Germany's Industry 4.0 subsidies, and the United States' advanced manufacturing reshoring policy have all directly stimulated demand growth. Furthermore, the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industries (e.g., breakthroughs in domestically produced core components, enhanced service capabilities of system integrators, and a richer library of industry solutions) has shortened the deployment cycle for robots and reduced overall costs, creating a virtuous cycle of "policy guidance, technological maturity, and widespread application," driving the market's spread from leading enterprises to small and medium-sized enterprises.
