The scara robot market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Recent years have seen brisk growth in the scara robot market size. The market is projected to expand from a value of $10.4 billion in 2024 to $11.97 billion in 2025, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1%.
This considerable growth during the historical period is largely due to the escalation in manufacturing automation, the rising demand for assembly with high-speed and accuracy, the growing need for repeatable tasks, and the broadened scope of electronics and semiconductor industries.
The scara robot market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipations for the scara robot market suggest a swift expansion in the coming years, as it project to reach a value of $20.67 billion in 2029. This corresponds to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.6%.
Several factors will contribute to this expected growth during the forecast period, including the surge in collaborative robotics, the broadening application of SCARA robots in the medical and healthcare sectors, the escalating demand for SCARA robots in the food and beverage industry, and their rising adoption in e-commerce warehouses. Crucial trends to watch during this forecast period are advancements in robotic technology, the incorporation of artificial intelligence into SCARA robotics, the use of vision systems for improved sensing, the development and use of modular and flexible SCARA robot designs, and the application of industry 4.0 concepts in SCARA robotics.
The growing incorporation of automation in industrial settings is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the SCARA robot market. Industrial automation involves the use of control systems like computers or robots, and IT for managing various processes and machinery in an industry as a replacement for human labor. SCARA robots have increasingly been embraced by numerous industries in recent times in a bid for optimal automation and operational efficiency. The integration of SCARA robots in the manufacturing sector provides benefits such as enhanced productivity, quality, and workers' safety by minimizing mistakes and waste, as well as introducing flexibility to the manufacturing process. As an example, Manufacturing Today India, an Indian manufacturing news outlet, estimates that around 85–90% of Indian manufacturing companies will incorporate automation into their operations by 2050. Therefore, this surge in industrial automation uptake is propelling the growth of the SCARA robot market.
