Primary Scara Robot Market Drivers

Major factors driving scara robot market are emerging need to reduce human errors in production processes, growing adoption of scara robots in electric and electronics industry and growing demand for Internet of Things (IoT) based smart solutions and automation in different industries. Industrialization has rapidly increased in various countries around the world. Demand for products in electronic industry like smartphone and laptops and other industry verticals like pharmaceuticals and cosmetic have increased significantly in the last two decades. India is one of the most populous countries worldwide, the number of smartphone users in India were estimated to be 750 million in 2021 and this figure is expected to increase by more than 30% in coming 5-6 years. As the demand for such products are increasing, companies are trying to maximize their profits by automating manufacturing processes by to reduce labor cost, eliminate routine manual tasks and improve workers safety. Automation will also help companies to improve product’s quality and reduce human errors. Recent study indicates that around 23% of unplanned downtime in manufacturing arises due to human error. As industries are focussing on bringing automation in their manufacturing processes, demand for scara robots in assembling, and handling applications is expected to increase in the future, which will create lucrative growth opportunities for scara robots manufacturing companies to expand their business.

Companies are using scar robots to improve the speed of repeatability of pick & place tasks. In addition, demand for collaborative robots is increasing in almost every industry vertical, which is pushing SCARA manufacturers for develop collaborative robots with high payload capacity. Scara robots offers various benefits such as improved performance, minimal maintenance requirement, higher reliability, and extremely compact design, which are propelling its demand in the global industrial robotics market. Companies in the automotive industry are increasingly utilizing scara robots to reduce their operation costs. Growing adoption of industry 4.0 and increasing manufacturing cost in developing countries, are supplementing the growth of scara robot market. However, high cost of these robots coupled with insufficient availability of skilled workforce, are restricting the market growth.
