Key drivers include the need for warehouse automation, improved logistics technologies, and financial benefits such as return on investment (ROI). As demand grows for automated palletizing solutions, industries seek to enhance productivity while reducing manual handling risks and operational costs. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Automating material handling tasks to minimize labor needs is a primary catalyst fuelling the market expansion. The rising demand among end-users to mechanize repetitive functions and diminish reliance on manual labor fuels the uptake of robotic solutions in various sectors, including manufacturing facilities and plants.
Moreover, unlike human workers, robots exhibit consistent performance without succumbing to fatigue or monotony, rendering them ideal for tasks like palletizing, depalletizing, and handling corrugated cartons and individual products. Leveraging high-speed motion control systems enables robots to operate at a swifter pace compared to human labor, resulting in reduced cycle periods and loading times. These advantageous features are set to propel market growth throughout the projected period.
The rise in adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is one of the key market trends that is contributing to the market growth. The robots used in industrial applications are increasingly witnessing the deployment of smart sensors and communication devices, also known as IIoT devices, to collect data, which can be utilized to improve productivity and efficiency further.
They allow the formation of a system that can monitor, collect, exchange, analyze data, and deliver insights that can help drive business decisions. IIoT systems generally consist of intelligent devices, infrastructure for collecting and exchanging data, and cloud-based applications to drive analytics. Such factors are propelling market growth during the forecast period.
The high cost of deploying and maintaining automation systems is one of the factors hindering the market growth. Despite offering high ROI, the adoption of robotic palletizers entails high switching costs. Customers are usually bound by long-term service contracts with companies to reap the benefits of automated production. However, this limits the ability of end-users to switch between automation systems from different companies. Therefore, the high switching cost is a key factor that can affect the purchase decision of end-users.
In addition, as the robots are integrated into the production system, any malfunction or breakdown in the robots can lead to the potential shutdown of the entire production line. Thus, these factors are expected to hinder market growth during the forecast period.
