Description

The global Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor market size is predicted to grow from US$ 366 million in 2025 to US$ 3456 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 45.4% from 2025 to 2031.

Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor, full name Six Axis F/T Sensor, is a sensor that measures force and torque in the three directions of X, Y, and Z. Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor is currently mainly mounted on robotic arms. It detects all the information about the force acting in space, namely the three component forces and three torques Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, and Mz formed in the spatial coordinate system, so as to accurately measure and control the force of the robotic arm. At present, the Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor market is in a rapid growth stage, mainly benefiting from the widespread application of robot technology and the improvement of intelligent demand. The statistical scope of this report is Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor for robots used in precision grinding, precision assembly, collaborative robots, humanoid robots and other fields.

The Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor originated from the aerospace industry and is used to measure the aerodynamic characteristics of aircraft, including lift, drag, lateral force, pitch moment, yaw moment, and roll moment. Since the orthogonal three-direction force and three-direction moment need to be measured simultaneously, the Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor came into being. As the comprehensive mechanical measurement advantages of the Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor are known to the public and the technology develops rapidly, the application field of the Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor has gradually expanded to detection, prevention, control, teaching, measurement, protection and other scenarios.

As a key component for precise force control and environmental perception of robots, the Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor market has ushered in rapid development since Musk proposed the concept of humanoid robots in 2021. From the application end, the industrial robot field (assembly, grinding, collaborative robots) is still the main application field at present, but with the advancement of technology, the demand for medical, humanoid robots and other fields is also increasing significantly.

According to the latest research data, the global sales volume of Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor for robots will be nearly 52,000 sets in 2024, of which China will sell about 15,000 sets, a year-on-year increase of more than 35%. It is estimated that by 2030, the global market sales volume of Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor for robots will reach 730,000 sets, and China's sales volume will reach 260,000 sets, with a compound annual growth rate of sales of more than 50% from 2025 to 2030. At present, the high-end market of the Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor industry for robots is dominated by foreign brands (ATI Industrial Automation, Epson, etc.), but the market share has continued to decline in recent years. The main domestic manufacturers are led by Yuli Instruments, Kunwei Technology, Xinjingcheng and other representatives, followed by Blue Dot Touch, Ruier Measurement and Control, and Haiberson. The share of these domestic brands continues to increase. Although none of the top five domestic Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor companies are listed, with the rapid growth of the market size, many listed companies (such as Keli Sensor, AVIC Electro-Mechanical Test, and Amperon) have begun to develop and produce Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensors and have made varying degrees of progress. Comparing the differences between domestic and foreign products, the accuracy of domestic and foreign mainstream products is basically aligned, but there is still a gap in sensitivity, crosstalk, overload resistance and inter-dimensional coupling error. From the price point of view, domestic brands have a higher cost-effectiveness and are expected to accelerate the process of domestic substitution.

According to different measurement principles, they can be divided into photoelectric, strain, capacitive, piezoelectric and other types. Among all force sensors, strain force sensors are the most widely used, and their usage accounts for more than 80% of the total force sensors. At present, foreign companies that use strain force sensors include ATI Industrial Automation, Schunk, ME-Meßsysteme, Sintokogio, etc., while domestic companies basically use this type of technical principle to develop Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor.

From a regional perspective, the United States, Europe and Asia-Pacific are the main markets, especially China, where the demand for industrial and service robots is growing fastest. North America and Europe maintain their advantages in the field of high-end sensors. According research data, the annual compound growth rate of sales of Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor for robots in the Asia-Pacific region from 2019 to 2024 exceeded 70%, followed by Europe with a growth rate of over 60%.

Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing have promoted the development of production lines towards high automation and flexibility. As a high-precision force control device, Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor will be more widely used in fine robot tasks such as assembly, grinding, welding, and polishing. At the same time, with the advancement of technology, the demand in medical, humanoid robots and other fields is also increasing significantly. In the future, the market for Robot 6-axis Force Torque Sensor for robots will surely usher in broad development prospects.
