Massive requirement for cost-effective and autonomous material handling products & services is rapidly increasing due to the surging shortage of laborers and the pandemic-related social distancing norms. This, in turn, has generated huge demand for industrial robots such as SCARA robots in a slew of industries. Furthermore, fast-paced industrial environments need high speed and flexibility for the movement of products and materials in industrial units and warehouses. To overcome this challenge, firms are preferring the use of SCARA robots. Furthermore, high labor costs and the growing need for performing repetitive tasks have culminated in huge demand for SCARA robots in manufacturing units and various other industries. Demand for increasing product output with high quality and performance has become a daunting task for the factories and this has translated into the humungous use of SCARA robots in factories.
In addition, the escalating necessity of apt robotic solutions for effective material handling and the need for just-in-time delivery of products has increased the penetration of SCARA robots in various industries. All these aforementioned factors are predicted to create new growth opportunities for the global SCARA robot market and contribute sizably towards its revenue. Surging need for quickly responding to rapidly changing consumer preferences and the demand for fast & accurate performance in production lines along with necessity of optimizing the quality of products has enhanced the popularity and use of SCARA robots in various industries. According to a study by Allied Market Research, the global SCARA robot industry is set to accrue revenue worth $14.78 billion by 2026. Let us discuss some of the major trends witnessed in the SCARA robot market across the globe.
Epson Robots Launches GX 4 and GX8 SCARA Robots To Expand its GX Series SCARA Robots Portfolio
New product launches have massively impacted the growth of the global SCARA robot market and will continue to do so even in near future. Epson Robotics, a key manufacturer of SCARA, 6-axis, and Cartesian industrial robots, introduced GX4 and GX 8 robots, SCARA robots new product line and new kind of high-speed SCARA robots.
