The increasing demand for automation coupled with the rising government initiatives to promote automation across various industries are significantly boosting the growth of the modular robotics market.   

According to a new research report by Next Move Strategy Consulting, the global Modular Robotics Market was valued at USD 10.01 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 28.89 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 16.2% from 2024 to 2030. 

The governments worldwide are actively promoting the uptake of advanced manufacturing technologies, including modular robotics, through a range of incentives and support programs. These initiatives are designed to spur industrial expansion and stimulate innovation within the manufacturing sector.

By offering financial incentives, grants, and tax advantages, governments encourage businesses to invest in state-of-the-art technologies that improve productivity, efficiency, and global competitiveness. This support enables companies to manage initial investment costs effectively and facilitates the widespread adoption of modular robotics. Ultimately, these efforts empower industries to leverage automation's benefits, paving the way for economic advancement. 

Moreover, the increasing adoption of automation across diverse sectors such as automotive, food and beverage, electronics, and others is significantly fuelling the modular robotics market demand. According to the latest report from the International Robotics Federation, global factory installations of industrial robots reached 553,052 units, reflecting a 5% year-on-year growth rate.

The industrial robot market is projected to expand further, with expectations of surpassing 590,000 units worldwide, growing at a rate of 7%. Modular robots play a crucial role in automating repetitive tasks, reducing errors, and streamlining operations. As businesses increasingly seek automation solutions to enhance efficiency and productivity, there is a growing demand for advanced robotics systems, including modular robots.

For instance, in May 2024, ABB expanded the line of modular industrial robots, focusing on improving flexibility and efficiency in manufacturing. This development included the introduction of new models designed to be easily integrated into existing systems, enhancing automation capabilities. This expansion in modular robotics highlights ABB's commitment to advancing the modular robotics market by providing versatile and adaptable robotic solutions.

However, high costs associated with modular robotics systems pose a significant barrier to modular robotics market growth. Initial investments, covering hardware, software, customization, and integration into existing systems, are substantial and deter small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from adoption. 

Additionally, ongoing expenses for maintenance, training, and support add to the financial burden. Despite long-term benefits such as enhanced efficiency and flexibility, these upfront costs delay widespread adoption and hinder market expansion. Addressing cost challenges through technological advancements and economies of scale could make modular robotics more accessible over time, promoting broader adoption across industries.

On the contrary, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) presents significant growth opportunities for the modular robotics market. AI and ML empower modular robots to autonomously learn from data, adapt to dynamic environments, and make informed decisions.

This capability enhances their efficiency, accuracy, and versatility across sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. AI-driven modular robots can optimize production processes, anticipate maintenance requirements, and collaborate safely with human operators. Continued advancements in AI and ML are set to transform industries by delivering more intelligent and adaptive solutions that enhance productivity and operational efficiency.
