(MENAFN- Market Press Release) October 6, 2025 6:37 am - Apelo Consulting has released a report on Global Collaborative Robots Market, Segment Analysis, Company Share Insights, Market Dynamics and Recent Developments – Forecast to 2030

The global collaborative robot market was valued at USD 2,146.4 Million in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 11,641.7 Million by 2030. Collaborative robots are robots designed to work safely alongside humans in a shared workspace. The use of collaborative robots cuts downtime, streamlines production processes, and allows for unfettered human-robot collaboration. Automotive, electronics, and logistics sectors are increasingly adopting collaborative robots to perform repetitive tasks and allow human workers to focus on higher-value operations. This shift enhances throughput while ensuring consistent quality and lowering operational costs.

Companies are seeking cost-effective and flexible automation solutions to increase productivity and reduce human errors. Collaborative robots offer a higher return on investment (ROI) than traditional industrial robots, making them attractive for businesses of all sizes. The lower upfront costs associated with cobots, along with their ease of programming and deployment, allow companies to quickly realize financial benefits. This factor is particularly appealing for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Moreover, the growing labor shortages in different industries is necessitating top companies to increase and improve automation solutions to keep productivity levels up. Collaborative robots are filling this void by carrying out labor-intensive tasks with accuracy, which in turn minimizes reliance on human labor and providing accurate output. With increasing labor shortages, particularly in developed countries, demand for collaborative robots is likely to increase.

Key Highlights of the Report

. Payload capacity up to 5 kg collaborative robots lead the market as they find extensive use in light-weight applications like assembly, packaging, and quality inspection.

. The up to 10 kg payload segment is gaining ground as an ideal solution for mid-weight tasks in industries like logistics, packaging, metalworking, and automotive.

. Based on application, the assembly segment accounted for dominant share in 2024, driven by the increasing adoption of collaborative robots (cobots) for tasks such as nut driving, bolting, and part fitting.

. The handling cobots are utilized in several industries such as logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing, where efficient and safe material handling is essential for optimizing supply chains and reducing manual labor. The top-performing models like Universal Robots' UR10e and Omron's TM Series excel in material handling tasks such as depalletizing and conveyor belt sorting.

. Pick & place application of the collaborative robot market is gaining traction in logistics, manufacturing, food & beverage, and electronics. Cobots are deployed for high-speed, repetitive tasks like bin picking and component sorting where accuracy and flexibility are essential.

. In quality testing applications, collaborative robots are increasingly employed for visual inspection, measurement, and defect detection across industries such as automotive, electronics, and pharma sectors.

. By end use industry, the automotive segment dominated the collaborative robot market. This dominance is primarily attributed to the extensive adoption of cobots across key applications such as vehicle assembly, welding, painting, inspection, and machine tending.

. Asia Pacific leads the global collaborative robot market driven by rapid industrialization, government-led automation initiatives, and increasing labor costs. China, Japan, South Korea, and India are at the forefront, leveraging cobots across automotive, electronics, and machinery sectors.

. Europe accounted for second highest share of the global collaborative robot market in 2024, driven by its strong industrial heritage, high safety standards, and commitment to smart manufacturing. Germany, France, and the UK are major adopters, using cobots in welding, assembly, and packaging across automotive, food, and electronics sectors.
