The global robot end-effector market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 12% during the forecast period. The market growth is attributed to the increasing adoption of robots in performing various tasks such as handling, assembly, welding, dispensing, processing. The robot end-effector refers to the device that is attached to the end of a robot’s arm that interacts with the work components or parts for performing a particular task.
In addition, specially designed robot end-effector handles the complex operations with high accuracy and precision, which in turn positively affects the growth of the global robot end-effector market. However, high installation and maintenance costs may serve as a limiting factor for market growth.
Segmental Outlook
The global robot end-effector market is segmented on the basis of type and industry. Based on the type, the market is segmented into welding guns, grippers, clamps, suction cups, and others. Grippers market is estimated to hold a significant share in the market. Based on the industry, the market is segmented into automotive, food & beverages, e-commerce, electrical and electronics, and others.
Global Robot End Effector Market, by Type 2018 (%)
Based on the type of the robot end-effector, the gripper segment holds the most significant share in the market. This is attributed to the various benefits offered by the gripper robots in a number of end-user industries such as food & beverages, automotive, electrical & electronics, and others. Grippers perform various operations such as moving, holding, tightening and releasing. The gripper is the interface between the arm and the object being moved. Thus, the gripper robots hold a considerable share in the market during the forecast period.
Regional Outlook
The global robot end-effector market is geographically segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World. The market in Asia-Pacific is estimated to exhibit a considerable growth rate during the forecast period. The market growth is attributed to increased production and demand for electronic products such as smartphones, tablets, computers, batteries, displays and many others, especially in emerging countries such as India and China. These components need to be handled with care and accuracy, which requires smart and safe handling. Thus, there is an increasing demand for robot end effectors in the region.

Recent Developments:
In September 2019, OnRobot A/S launched a universal mechanical and electrical interface for any OnRobot end-of-arm tooling that dramatically simplifies automation. With a single robotic system, single platform for programming and training, and single vendor relationship, manufacturers have access to a full range of tools and full robot compatibility.
In June 2019, New Scale Robotics, a Division of New Scale Technologies, launched a new series of Universal Robots (UR) e-Series Cobots, named NSR-PG-10-20-URe Precision Parallel Gripper. It has a measurement precision of 2.5 µm (0.1 in/1000) and the ability to control multiple grippers on one robot. This gripper is highly suitable for handling intricate parts, assembly tasks, and lab automation processes. This innovation helped the company to enhance its product portfolio.
In March 2019, ABB announced the update and enhancement of its advanced manufacturing operations in Mississippi (the US), which enhanced the company’s geographical footprint in North America. In addition, the company invested $36 million for the enhancement of its expansion.
In September 2018, Destaco launched its TCC-2E Series Tolerance Compensation Clamps (TCC). These are designed for providing greater flexibility in welding and assembly applications that require the clamping of components of different thicknesses or tighter tolerances.
