Market Overview:
The global soft robotic technology market is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for advanced and innovative technologies across different industries. Additionally, the growing awareness about the benefits of using soft robotics is also contributing to the growth of this market. The soft robot gripper segment is expected to hold a dominant position in the global soft robotic technology market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its ability to handle delicate objects without causing any damage. The inflatable robot segment is projected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period owing its ability find application in hazardous environments where other robots cannot survive.
Product Definition:
Soft robotic technology generally refers to the use of flexible materials in robotics, as opposed to traditional metals and plastics. This can include things like soft actuators (devices that create motion), soft sensors, and fabrics that can be used as robot skins.
One key advantage of soft robotic technology is that it often allows robots to more easily interact with their surroundings. For example, they can squeeze through tight spaces or conform to irregular surfaces. Additionally, since many flexible materials are biocompatible (meaning they are safe for contact with human tissue), they could potentially be used for medical applications such as prosthetics or artificial organs.
Soft Robot Gripper:
Soft robot hand is capable of making contact with objects and providing a soft mechanical grip. It can be used for various applications including handling fragile items, picking up dropped objects, or assisting elderly and disabled people in everyday tasks. Soft robot hand consists of three main components: actuators (pneumatic/hydraulic), sensors, and power system. Actuators are responsible for moving the fingers; they either use direct drive or electric motors depending on the type of application.
Inflatable Robot:
Inflatable robot is a soft robotic device that can be inflated with air and then used to walk over obstacles. It has been designed by researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Sciences (SEAS), in collaboration with scientists from Mitatec, Japan, and Hebei University, China. The research study was published in May 2017 in Science Robotics journal.
Application Insights:
The medical and healthcare segment dominated the global soft robotic technology market in 2017, accounting for a revenue share of over 40%. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries coupled with the growing geriatric population. Moreover, technological advancements such as computerization of surgical tools are further driving the demand. For instance, Intuitive Surgical Corporation¢â‚¬â„¢s (ISCO) robot-assisted surgery systems are gaining popularity due to their user-friendly interface and improved precision during laparoscopic procedures.
The food and beverage application segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising adoption of soft robotics in food processing plants including automated fruit peeling machines that improve hygiene conditions at food preparation areas along with reducing employee injuries. Furthermore, these robots help maintain production levels by moving heavy objects around easily while also simplifying inventory management tasks at warehouse level which further drives industry expansion over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing investments by domestic as well as foreign players in this region. Japan, China, South Korea, India are some of the countries investing heavily in robotics technology development. For instance, Toyota Industries Corporation has developed a new generation of robots for use across various industries including automotive and manufacturing that comply with human-scale design principles (i.e., they do not possess superhuman abilities). These factors are anticipated to drive demand for soft robotic technologies during the forecast period.
North America accounted for a significant share owing to growing adoption by end users such as logistics companies and warehousing facilities among others coupled with government funding towards research & development activities within this sector especially pertaining to autonomous vehicles implementation using soft robotics technologies such as compliant robots that can adapt themselves while moving through different terrains or self-folding robot arms etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for automation in manufacturing and logistics industry
- Rising awareness about the benefits of soft robotics technology over traditional robots
- Growing investments in research and development of soft robotics technology by private companies and government organizations
- Proliferation of start-ups focused on developing innovative soft robotic technologies
- Increasing applications of soft robotics technology in medical and healthcare sector
