In addition, industrial robots are being used in place of human laborers to perform dangerous or repetitive tasks with a high degree of accuracy, which is also gaining popularity in the market.
Moreover, various chemical, automotive and other companies are inclining toward the adoption of robot software for hazardous tasks and to tolerate the toxic gases and strong fumes associated with manual welding, and can work in sections of manufacturing plants that have flammable vapors. Furthermore, with stringent safety regulations, companies are now employing robots for dangerous and hazardous environments. Automation of manufacturing processes was earlier restricted to only the automotive sector. Now, industries such as healthcare, defense & security, aerospace, and food & beverage, are also adopting robot software.
Rapid Adoption of Robot Software by SMEs to Reduce Labor and Energy Cost
Rise in adoption of robot software by various SMEs and other micro industries for enhancing their market growth and to increase their market share is driving the growth of the market. In addition to this, increase in adoption of robot software by SMEs to reduce labor and energy costs as well as to replace manual workers with a robotic automation system propels the growth of the market. In addition, the cost of robot work cells has decreased by 5-10% per year since few years and the speed and throughput of robot has increased significantly; due to which there is an increase in adoption of robots, which in turns drives the growth of the market.
Furthermore, robots help various industries to save money on different types of energy sources and also increase the life span of the machinery in factories, which is propelling the growth of the market. In addition to this, robots are designed to work across a wide variety of temperature ranges, and are less fragile than human operators, which is the major factor why companies are adopting these robots across the globe. This in turns propels the growth of the market.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all the industries globally. The COVID-19 moderately impacted the growth of the market in the first half of 2020, due to lockdown guidelines published by the government in various countries, wherein manufacturing, healthcare, and other industries were allowed to operate with a limited number of employees during the pandemic.
