Collaborative robots or cobots are the robots, which have the ability to collaborate with humans and enhance the human capabilities. There are various advantages of using collaborative robots or cobots such as these robots are easy to program, easy to install, and cobots are flexible i.e. adding new tasks is simple compared to other robots.

The increasing demand of automation in different industries such as healthcare, automotive, food and beverages, metal and machining, plastic and polymers, retail and others is expected to fuel growth of the global collaborative robot (cobot) market. Collaborative robots or cobots are used to automate processes such as product assembling, packaging, labeling, pumping, welding, painting, spraying, material handling and others in the companies. For instance, in food and beverages industry cobots are used to fill large number of food packages in few minutes. In manufacturing industry cobots are used to assemble parts of the product.

However, lack of skilled workforce for cobot operations and limited acceptance of cobot technology are the factors that is expected to hamper growth of the global collaborative robot (cobot) market during the forecast period. Collaborative robot technology or cobot technology is upgrading faster and it is difficult to adopt quickly by the workers. Moreover, poor network administration is also expected to restrain growth of the global collaborative robot (cobot) market.

Global Collaborative Robot (Cobot) Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

COVID-19 has significantly disrupted almost all the industries including automotive, medical & healthcare, consumer electronics, clothing & textile, food & beverage, automation, manufacturing, aerospace & defense, oil & gas, construction, semiconductor, agriculture, and others. Liquidity shortfall, cash crunch, and others are the factors that are restraining growth of the various sectors during COVID-19 pandemic.

Additionally, coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted almost all the industries globally including robotics, industrial automation and machinery. To combat COVID-19 pandemic, most of the countries had implemented lockdown and are now easing it phase-wise and industry wise. This has significantly impacted manufacturing sector as the facilities across the globe were temporarily shut down, such as in China Italy, and India, among others. As industrial manufacturing companies are the largest consumer of conveyers, labelling machines, packaging machines, and automated storage systems, the demand for these products has declined due to cease in the activities of production units.

Furthermore, end-use industries of collaborative robot market such as automotive, healthcare and others have been affected due to covid-19 pandemic. For instance, according to Coherent Market Insights’ analysis, the automotive market witnessed 12-15% decrease in sales. Nevertheless, COVID-19 has brought the healthcare and medical devices industry at center stage with unmatched demand for personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilators, diagnostic tests, and other medical supplies. Manufacturers and automation companies such as, ABB and others are making efforts to reduce the shortage of critical medical supplies needed to combat COVID-19 pandemic.
