New York, April 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report “Global Robot End Effector Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Type, By Vertical, By Robot Type, By Application, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 – 2028” – https://www.reportlinker.com/p06449874/?utm_source=GNW
The process tools, grippers, and sensors work with the robot end effectors fixed to the robot arm. Robot end effectors are sometimes called end-of-arm tooling (EOA), robot tools, end-of-arm devices, robotic peripherals, robotic tooltips, and robot tools.

An end effector enables the robot to engage with the task at hand. The majority of end effectors are electromechanical or mechanical. They can be as basic as two-finger grippers for pick-and-place activities or as sophisticated as extensive sensor networks for robotic inspection. Sometimes the phrase “End Of Arm Tool” (EOAT) is also used to denote robotic end effector. A robot end effector is essentially the business end of the robot. Most robots are virtually useless without an end effector.

For example, an adjustable robotic arm can be set to a specific spot in its workplace, but without an end effector, it cannot carry out any operations. The use of collaborative robotics is the main driver propelling the robot end effector market. These robots engage with their surroundings and respond appropriately. They adjust their course of action or operation direction in response to alterations in the working environment. Also, the advent of automation in various sectors to complete tasks more quickly has increased the demand for robot end effectors.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the building, hotel, industrial, and tourism sectors. As a result, production ceased or was severely constrained in many nations. Globally, supply chains for the construction and transportation industries as well as those industries themselves, were hindered. This resulted in a decrease in both the production and the demand for robot end effectors, which restrained the market’s expansion. In addition, the automotive industry’s operations were constrained during the pandemic. The primary end customers of the robotic end effectors are automotive manufacturers. Therefore, the decrease in this industry impacted the market for robotic end effectors.

Market Growth Factors

Rising installation of the robot end effectors across numerous industries

Automation, AI & ML, IIoT, and other emerging technologies have greatly broadened the use cases for robots, which has resulted in a considerable increase in demand for robotics in recent years. The robotics business has also been impacted by technological development, which has made it possible to create creative, affordable robots. Investment in robotics is further fueled by the growing adoption of digital technologies in commercial, residential, and industrial end-user sectors. Also, advantageous market conditions are being created for the development of the robotics and end-effector markets by supportive government policies and programs like “Industry 4.0” as well as Smart Cities. Hence, throughout the projection period, the demand for robot end effectors is expected to rise, which will promote market growth.

Growing demand for increased automation as well as worker efficiency

Robot end effectors effectively boost labor productivity while improving machine productivity. Automating a manufacturing process speeds up output and increases worker productivity. As a result, more is produced per hour of work. An increase in worker productivity has a substantial positive impact on the business because labor costs have been steadily growing in industrialized nations worldwide recently. In addition, most of the monotonous jobs that humans formerly performed are now being replaced by machines, demanding the use of robots. Robotic technology also aids in reducing the effects of a labor shortage concurrently.

Market Restraining Factors

High implementation and maintenance costs, particularly for SMEs

Investing in industrial robotics and automation is still prohibitively expensive. The expense of installing robotic end effectors is a commercial restraint. The businesses spend less on new investments. They have less capital than the automotive and other major sectors. Few SMEs nowadays, like glass polishing businesses, are required to automate their operation. Additionally, robot end effectors are extremely vulnerable to damage when used in heavy sectors, where repair or maintenance can be expensive. All these factors significantly hinder the growth of the market.

Type Outlook

Based on type, the robot end effector market is categorized into welding guns, grippers, tool changers, clamps, suction cups, and others. The grippers segment garnered the highest revenue share in the robot end effector market in 2021.
