Articulated robot applications to lift industrial robotics market through 2020

According to “Industrial Robotics Market in the U.S. 2016-2020,” a market study released by London-based Technavio, the industrial robotics market in the U.S. is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 12.25 percent during the forecast period.

The report provides an in-depth analysis of the market in terms of revenue and emerging market trends, as well as up-to-date analysis and forecasts for various market segments and all geographic regions.

The report categorizes the U.S. industrial robotics market into four major product segments: articulated robots; Cartesian robots; SCARA robots; and others (including delta, parallel, and cylindrical robots).

Technavio expects the articulated robots market in the U.S. to grow from $751.4 million in 2015 to $1.28 billion by 2020. The U.S. automotive industry primarily drives the articulated robots market for general assembling and material handling functions. Articulated robots are widely used in the U.S. manufacturing industries for various applications such as welding, assembling, sealing, material handling, picking, cutting, painting, and spraying.

Cartesian robots offer linear movement with a high degree of repeatability, accuracy, and mechanical rigidity. They can move and carry heavy loads with their consistent payload capacity within the work envelope. The demand for these robots is high in the metal industry for cutting, drilling, bending, loading, stamping, welding, casting, forging, and unloading.

SCARA robots, based on a 4-axis design, are suited for high-speed assembly, kitting, packaging, and other material handling applications. They are used in the electrical and electronics industries, as well as the automotive industry for pick-and-place, welding, and spray painting applications.
