Global Collaborative Robot Arm Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Collaborative Robot Arm market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1115 million in 2025 to US$ 3882 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.6% from 2026 to 2032.
In 2025, the global production of collaborative robot arms reached 427,200 units, with an average selling price of US$2,668.75 per unit. Companies producing 1,000 units annually achieved a gross profit margin of 34.56%. A collaborative robot arm is a robotic arm that can work collaboratively with a human operator to perform tasks. It typically possesses high flexibility, precision, and safety, and can operate in shared working environments with humans. Unlike traditional industrial robots, collaborative robot arms are designed to work alongside humans in relatively confined spaces without requiring protective fences or isolation devices. Collaborative robot arms are widely used in automated production, material handling, assembly, inspection, packaging, and other fields, and are particularly suitable for work scenarios requiring high flexibility, repeatability, and precision. They typically feature six- or seven-axis designs, enabling them to complete complex tasks and providing high productivity and cost-effectiveness. In terms of the number of axes, six-axis collaborative robots remain the absolute mainstream in the market, primarily due to their mature technology, wide applicability, and high cost efficiency. Seven-axis collaborative robots, however, are experiencing faster growth in high flexibility, path planning, and complex operation scenarios, becoming a growth highlight for future high-end flexible manufacturing. In the coming years, with the continued application of AI integration, lightweight design, and more intelligent motion control technologies, the market share of seven-axis and higher degree-of-freedom products is expected to steadily increase.
In recent years, the global collaborative robot market has experienced rapid growth, with companies increasing their investment in 7-axis collaborative robot technology research and development to improve robot performance and functionality. Elephant Robotics' myArm 300 PI is the world's first desktop-grade integrated 7-axis collaborative robot. Major international manufacturers include Yaskawa Motoman (a subsidiary of Yaskawa Electric Corporation of Japan), Kassow Robots (Denmark), and Productive Robotics (California, USA). Major domestic companies include: Elephant Robotics (Shenzhen), Han's Robotics (Shenzhen), Duco Robotics (Shanghai), Tyco Robotics (Shenzhen), and Zhongke Shengu (Hefei). While there are numerous manufacturers of collaborative robots, and relatively few currently offer 7-axis collaborative robots, market competition is expected to intensify.
Market Development Drivers:
Industrial upgrading will generate substantial market demand. Global labor shortages are becoming increasingly severe, particularly in labor-intensive industries such as manufacturing and logistics. Traditional industries are upgrading to improve production efficiency, product quality, and competitiveness, leading to a growing demand for automation equipment. 7-axis collaborative robots, with their high precision and flexibility, are becoming a crucial driver of this upgrading.
Technological advancements are the fundamental support for improving the performance and expanding the functions of 7-axis collaborative robots. Continuous upgrades and innovations in artificial intelligence, sensors, and other technologies will bring more application scenarios and business models, such as medical surgery assistance and commercial service assistance, enabling collaborative development across multiple industries. However, the relatively high cost of 7-axis collaborative robots and the unresolved technological challenges undoubtedly limit their widespread application in some SMEs and developing countries. Future Development Trends
Intelligentization remains a key trend in the continuous advancement of collaborative robots. With the ongoing development and application of technologies such as machine learning and deep learning, the learning and decision-making abilities of 7-axis collaborative robots will continuously improve, making them more adaptable to complex environmental changes and enhancing work efficiency and quality. More diverse interaction methods, such as voice and gesture interaction, will be more widely applied to robots, enabling more natural and efficient communication and cooperation with humans. For example, the JetCobot 7-axis vision collaborative robot from Yabo Intelligent Technology is equipped with a camera and combines machine vision and deep learning algorithms to perform functions such as color interaction, gesture interaction, and label recognition.
Furthermore, as application scenarios and fields continue to expand, lightweight development of 7-axis collaborative robots will be a major trend. Using lightweight, high-strength materials, such as adding carbon fiber, will reduce the robot's weight and size, enabling it to operate stably in more demanding working environments. For example, the Mercury A1 robot from Elephant Robotics is made of materials including carbon fiber, aluminum alloy, and engineering plastics. Tyco Robotics' lightweight 7-axis collaborative robot TC7 has a minimum weight of 9kg and a payload capacity of up to 3kg.
