[Robot Sensor Market Analysis]
Global Market for 6-Axis Force/Torque Sensors for Robots
- Out of the global robot sensor market worth 2.4 trillion KRW, the 6-axis force/torque sensor segment represents 25%, forming a market valued at approximately 600 billion KRW. It is projected to grow by 13% annually, reaching 1.105 trillion KRW by 2028.
Demand Forecast for 6-Axis Force/Torque Sensors Based on Industrial Processes
- Last year, 30% of the 300,000 industrial robots shipped, approximately 90,000 units, were expected to be used in processes requiring 6-axis force/torque sensor data, such as assembly, welding, and inspection.[1]
- Based on the number of robots introduced into these processes, the global demand for 6-axis force/torque sensors in 2022 is estimated at around 90,000 units. With the global sensor market’s 13% CAGR, the worldwide demand is expected to grow to 165,000 units by 2026.
Forecast for 6-Axis Force Torque Sensor Demand in the Growing Collaborative Robot Market
- While collaborative robots (cobots) are primarily being adopted by small and medium-sized manufacturers for cost-effective and safe operations with simple position control processes, future demand for competitive 6-axis force/torque sensors is expected to increase, as these sensors will enable force/torque-based operations without the need for expensive ATI sensors traditionally used in industrial robots.
- As of 2020, in the domestic market, 10.3% of small and medium-sized manufacturers (3,060 out of 30,602 companies) expressed an intention to introduce robots. Of these, 34% (1,040 companies) are expected to adopt processes that require 6-axis force/torque sensors.
- With the growth of the collaborative robot market, the number of companies requiring 6-axis force/torque sensors is projected to increase to 8,893 by 2026.
Expansion Strategy for EoAT+Solutions Utilizing 6-Axis Force/Torque Sensors
- Expanding into solutions that integrate sensors with End-of-Arm Tooling (EoAT) is expected to generate sales for each process that uses 6-axis force/torque sensors. This would create a high value-added business, potentially 50 times more profitable than selling individual sensors alone.
- In the future, most of the processes that have yet to be automated by robots involve tasks requiring skilled manual labor and the application of force. This suggests that the remaining automatable processes will largely rely on 6-axis force/torque sensors and EoAT solutions.
