Global Soft Robotic Gripper Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032

The global Soft Robotic Gripper market size is expected to reach $ 629 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 12.5% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

In 2024, global Soft Robotic Gripper sales reached approximately 2,180.24 k Units, with an average market price of around 105 USD/Unit.

A soft robotic gripper is a type of robotic hand or gripper that is made from flexible and elastic materials, such as silicone or rubber. Unlike traditional robotic grippers that use rigid and mechanical components, soft robotic grippers are designed to be more adaptive and versatile, allowing them to handle delicate objects or irregular shapes more effectively. Soft robotic grippers typically consist of an inflatable bladder or a series of soft actuators that can be filled with air or fluid to change shape and grip objects. They can conform to the shape of the object being grasped, providing a more secure and gentle grip. One of the advantages of soft robotic grippers is their ability to handle a wide range of objects, including fragile or irregularly shaped items that are challenging for traditional grippers to grasp. They can also operate in unstructured environments, where there may be uncertainties or obstacles that require adaptive grasping.

The market for soft robotic grippers is driven by the growing need for versatile, adaptive, and safe automation solutions across industries such as food processing, electronics, e-commerce, and healthcare. Unlike traditional rigid grippers, soft grippers can conform to a wide variety of object shapes, making them ideal for handling fragile, irregular, or delicate items without causing damage. As manufacturers seek to automate more complex and variable tasks, especially in collaborative robot (cobot) environments, demand for soft grippers is accelerating. Additionally, the rise of flexible manufacturing, labor shortages, and advancements in soft materials, pneumatics, and sensor integration are enabling more capable and cost-effective gripper designs. These factors, combined with the expanding role of robotics in industries requiring gentle manipulation—such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture—are key drivers of market growth.
