This shift has led to the growing adoption of robots in manufacturing facilities, as companies aim to enhance precision, reduce labor costs, and improve overall efficiency in their production processes.

KEY FINDINGS

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.

These systems are particularly suited to mid-range manufacturing setups and applications requiring moderate precision and repeatability, often in small and medium enterprise workflows.

By Application

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

• Automotive Industry- In the automotive sector, robotic cutting, deburring, and finishing systems automate surface preparation and material removal for engine components, body panels, and structural parts, enhancing consistency and reducing cycle times. Their use improves part quality, tightens tolerances, and supports high-volume production lines critical to modern vehicle manufacturing.

• Metal Industry- Within the metal industry, these robotic systems facilitate precision machining, edge deburring, and surface finishing of steel and alloy components, driving productivity while minimizing manual labor and safety risks. Adoption accelerates quality control in fabrication, forging, and machining operations where complex shapes and tight surface requirements are prevalent.

• Electronics Industry- For electronics manufacturing, robotic cutting and finishing equipment handle delicate components with fine tolerances, enabling accurate trimming and surface treatment in PCBs, housings, and micro-assemblies. This precision automation supports consistent part integrity and aligns with demand for miniaturization and rapid throughput in consumer and industrial electronics.

• Others- The “Others” category includes sectors such as aerospace, consumer goods, medical devices, and bespoke manufacturing where specialized robotic finishing enhances product aesthetics, surface quality, and functional performance. These applications benefit from customizable robotic cells capable of adapting to low-volume, high-mix production demands.

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.

• According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), workplace injuries in manufacturing exceeded 373,000 cases in 2021, driving the need for robotic solutions to improve safety.

• According to Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), over 49% of Japanese manufacturing firms reported using robotic systems in production by 2022, fueling demand for advanced deburring and finishing robots.

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.

• According to the European Commission, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) represent 99% of all businesses in Europe, many of which face high upfront costs for robotic automation adoption.

• According to India’s Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, more than 70% of the industrial workforce requires retraining to handle robotics, creating a skill gap challenge.
