Sales Analysis of Dual Arm Robot (2018-2022) Vs. Market Outlook (2023-2033)

As the possible applications of robots continue to expand, new operating tasks and work environments place increasing demands on robot performance. Dual-arm robots are more capable of coordinated movements than single-arm robots, offering greater flexibility and maneuverability for sophisticated and complex manipulation tasks such as hole mounting.

A dual-arm robot is not simply a superimposition of two single-armed robots, however it requires the arms to work together in the identical system, extending the coordination capabilities between the arms. Another, unique feature of dual-arm robots is their anthropomorphic character.

It is challenging to match the task requirements of complex environments with simple planar motion given the rising demand for mobile robots in the warehousing, logistics, and service industries. To increase the agility of robot movement and broaden the use of robots, it is beneficial to combine cooperative and mobile robots.

• Short Term (2023 Q1 to 2026): The cost-effectiveness and features of dual-arm robots as compared to the single robotic arm will drive the market in the short future.
• Medium Term (2026- 2029): Numerous advancements in technology in both developed and developing countries, with South Korea and India being under the spotlight will lead to market growth.
• Long Term (2029- 2033): The development of an advanced industrial dual-arm robotic system with new capabilities such as simple and fast commissioning, two-handed suitability checks at all stages of the assembly process, and intuitive planning and programming.

From 2018 to 2022, the global market for dual arm robot registered a CAGR of 9.6%. Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, reveals that the market will exhibit growth at 11.4% CAGR between 2023 and 2033.

What’s Driving High Demand for Dual Arm Robot across Regions?

“Utilization of collaborative dual arm robotic system for additional flexibility.”

Nowadays, during the era of Industry 4.0, robots are considered one of the main pillars that enable flexible automation. The benefits of integrating a two-handed collaborative robot into a smart factory and the context of industry 4.0, focusing mainly on solving complex industrial demolition tasks are now driving the market growth.

Digital transformation offers countless new functions and features; however, the increasing number of electronic devices and the intense competition of technology companies to satisfy the needs of customers creates technical redundancy and thus alarming amounts of electronic waste.

At the same time, the robotics market, and especially collaborative robots, is increasing with new, user-friendly, one and two-handed robotic systems that can help in many tasks, e.g. delivery of parts, maintenance, assembly, and most importantly disassembly also.

More specifically, there is a growing interest in the research regarding the disassembly of electronic components due to the disposable consumer culture, which currently results in a huge waste of valuable materials. Such utilization of dual-arm robots in order to achieve smart industry goals will positively lead the market growth.

“Co-operative & flexible assembly operations due to dual arm robots to boost market growth”

Dual-arm robots offer an efficient approach to the automated execution of complex assembly processes. With the two-handed operation, the two-armed robot can simultaneously control the relative motion and interaction of its assembly partner with human-like dexterity. However, this requires sophisticated programming and control algorithms for armed coordination.

The main advantages of two-arm robots over one-arm systems are multi-tasking that is arms can work independently or synchronously to perform complex bimanual assembly tasks, and space-saving as it requires less operating space. Also, it cost saving when considering the capability and ability of the single-arm and dual-arm robots to do work. Such features of the dual-arm robot will propel market growth over the forecast period.

What Do Dual Arm Robot Manufacturers Need to Watch Out?

“A constant threat of availability alternative products can hinder market growth”

Regulatory bodies across the globe mandate compliance with safety standards regarding appropriate services of robotic accessories and also of industrial robots, in order to reduce the number of accidents caused due to improper functioning of robots.

Government bodies also impose laws that require consumers to ensure robotic configuration and robotic components with no defects, which creates a need for periodic servicing and maintenance of the robots operating in the market.

These types of mandates for the dual-arm robot market can be a risk for the flourishing robotic industry and stringent yet risky regulations across the major market might cause hindrances to the growth of the market across the globe.
