PNEUMATIC GRIPPER MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Pneumatic Gripper Market, valued at USD 0.84 billion in 2024, is projected to grow steadily to USD 0.86 billion in 2025 and reach USD 1.04 billion by 2033, maintaining a CAGR of 2.4% from 2025 to 2033.

The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Compressed air is used to power a piston or a rotating diaphragm connected to a rod in pneumatic grippers in order to provide motion and actuation. The rod's subsequent motion is then mechanically transformed into a grasping motion of some kind. Typically, grippers come with either parallel or angular jaws. According to the definition of "parallel," the grasping surfaces of the jaws should always be parallel to one another while the gripper moves.

Pick and place, assembling, and packaging are just a few of the uses for pneumatic grippers in a range of sectors. The food and beverage industry is the second-largest end-user of grippers after the automotive sector. The primary factor fueling the expansion of the pneumatic industry is the rising demand for automation across a variety of sectors.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Global Lockdowns Ensured Adverse Effect on Sales and Resulting Negative Effect on the Market 

The COVID-19 pandemic had halted the development of several goods in the worldwide pneumatic gripper business, mostly because of the protracted lockdown in important global nations. Due to this, the gripper market's expansion was considerably constrained. In 2020 and the first half of 2021, COVID-19 had an adverse effect on sales from the end use industries, which had a negative effect on market growth for the entire year. Previously, the U.S., Italy, and other large manufacturing nations that were severely impacted by the virus' spread were the main markets for the products, and thus slowed the need for the grippers.

LATEST TRENDS

Introduction of X-Series of Grippers made with Control System’s Versatility to aid Customers in Grip Functionality

Five distinct types of the X-series two-finger electric gripper, or X for specialists, are available based on the needed force and gripping stroke. This series is distinguished by the control system's versatility made possible by the second-generation gripper controller XEG-C2. Depending on the object, users have the option of running the gripper in control algorithm with the shift function for quick placement or in force control with the grip functionality to grasp objects with a programmed specific intensity.
