COVID-19 IMPACT

Halting Of Operations To Impede Market Advancements

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering; with the robotic cutting, deburring and finishing market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Due to the limitations put in place by the governments in various locations during the global COVID-19 epidemic, which had an impact on a variety of sectors worldwide. Due to these restrictions, firms had to stop operating on a regular basis in some situations and shut down entirely in others. First and foremost, the limits made it impossible for the robotic cutting, deburring and finishing industry to carry on with day-to-day operations, and the demand from end customers like the various automotive and metal manufacturers fell drastically. Because most of the activities that had to be suspended while their virus was active could resume, this industry did experience a slow but steady growth near the end of 2021.

LATEST TRENDS

Collaboration between Prominent Leading Players to Pursue Global Automation Projects

Yaskawa India Pvt. Ltd., a division of Yaskawa Electric Corporation, and Wipro Limited announced their collaboration in 2021 by exchanging a signed memorandum of understanding (MOU) on a joint commitment to pursue global automation projects. Through their partnership, the two countries can now receive Yaskawa robots from the corporation (including an international warranty).

  • Over 35,000 robotic grinding and deburring systems were installed globally in 2023, marking increased industrial automation.
  • Metalworking and automotive sectors accounted for more than 64% of robotic finishing equipment usage in 2023.

ROBOTIC CUTTING, DEBURRING AND FINISHING MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type, the market is distributed into 6-Axis and 7-Axis, 3-Axis to 5-Axis

By Application

Based on application, the market is divided into Automotive Industry, Metal Industry, Electronics Industry and Others.

DRIVING FACTORS

Axis Utilized in heavy-duty machining operations to Foster Market Growth

On the basis of type, the robotic cutting, deburring and finishing market has been divided into six-axis and seven-axis segments. Due to their outstanding dexterity and speed, six-axis robots are primarily employed for handling applications. They can be equipped with a variety of end effectors, such as grippers, sensors, or welding torches, to help with a variety of jobs. Seven-axis robots, on the other hand, provide significant payload capacity, precision, as well as the ability to rotate around the vertical axis. This qualifies them for heavy-duty machining operations.

Utilization in the Metal Industry to Drive Market Advancements

Since robotic cutting, deburring and finishing the sheet in the production process need a high degree of accuracy, the steel manufacturing sector is the primary end-user of industrial robots in the metals industry. The use of a wide variety of robotic cutting, deburring and finishing for accurate machine tool operations has undoubtedly benefited the steel sector. For instance, industrial robots must be used to correctly cut hot-rolled steel strips and cold-rolled steel strips during the manufacture of steel. These factors aid in broadening of the robotic cutting, deburring and finishing market growth.

  • Global industrial robot installations crossed 553,000 units in 2022, with cutting and finishing applications seeing significant growth.
  • Labor shortages in manufacturing contributed to a 46% rise in robotic surface treatment installations across North America.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Company’s Return on Investments and Artificial Intelligence in Robots to Impede Growth

A company's returns on investment (ROI) may decrease if its operations rely too much on robots. Since their costs are higher than those of humans, the company may not always obtain the necessary ROI. Artificial intelligence (AI) may exist in robots, but they are undoubtedly inferior to human intelligence. They simply lack the capacity to think independently; therefore they can never better their employment outside of the pre-defined programming. Even with robots put in companies, they still require manual labor. There will undoubtedly be a cost associated with training those employees to use the robots. These factors affect the growth of the robotic cutting, deburring and finishing industry.

  • Initial robotic integration costs exceed USD 50,000 per unit, restricting adoption for over 40% of small-scale manufacturers.
  • In 2023, around 31% of surveyed factories cited skill gaps in robot programming and maintenance as a key implementation hurdle.
