Global Robotics and Automation Actuators Market By Product Type (Linear, Rotary), Contingency), By Actuation (Electric, Pneumatic, Hydraulic, Other Actuations), By End-Use (Food & Beverage, Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Aerospace & Defense, Construction), By Region and Key Companies - Industry Segment Outlook, Market Assessment, Competition Scenario, Trends and Forecast 2021–2031

Introduction –

A robotics and automation actuator is a component of a mechanical device that is responsible for controlling and moving a physical process, such as the opening and closing of a door or a valve. A spring, a chain, or a piston can be used as a robotics and automation actuator. Depending on the machine or its working environment, the type of actuator will be determined.

A linear actuator is a general robotics and automation actuator. Linear actuators work on the displacement principle, which means that they can sense and transform an amount of motion (in a fixed direction) into actual motion.

The rotary and linear motions are used by this sort of actuator. Linear actuators are typically utilized in machinery whose motions must remain constant across a wide temperature range due to the inherent variances in the amplitude of each type of motion.

The centrifugal actuator is another type of robotics and automation actuator that can be utilized across a range of applications. This actuator uses centrifugal force to move weight from one area to another, as the name implies.

These actuators were previously utilized in ship engines. Centrifugal table lifts, also known as sea-level or water table lifts, are employed in a variety of settings today, including industrial, residential, and commercial. These robotics and automation actuators allow you to transfer weight from a lower to a higher level, such as lifting pallets, goods, and other gear.

Market Dynamics –

Drivers:

Process automation and robotics are the two application segments of the global robotics and automation actuators market. The automation of components encompasses a wide range of industries and application fields where automation actuators are used.

The robotics section includes robotic actuators that are needed for service robots and modern robots which are frequently used across a variety of industries. Owing to the changing consumption patterns, and the creation of services and goods, the demand for manufacturing plant automation is expected to increase.

For example, in the food & beverage industry, manufacturers are embracing mass customization capabilities to cater to changing consumer demands.

Restraints:

Over the forecast period, the global robotics and automation actuators market is expected to be hampered by the high installation and operational costs of robotics and automation actuators. Air-line installation and maintenance, replacement cylinder prices, and compressor electricity are all part of these maintenances and operating costs.

Opportunity:

The market for robotics and automation actuators has been growing at a rapid pace, and this trend is expected to continue in the years to come. However, the need for modern robots and procedure automation across numerous business verticals, as well as the need for affordable and advanced robotics and automation actuators, are among the primary factors influencing the further development of the robotics and automation sector.

Japan and China are essentially investing in robots and automation to upgrade their existing infrastructures, in turn securing a strategic advantage in the process. This is a fantastic opportunity for robotics and automation actuator manufacturers to strengthen their market footprint in the Asia Pacific region.

Trends:

Based on actuation, the demand for robotics and automation actuators have been divided into three categories, namely: mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic. Electric actuators account for the majority revenue share of the regional robotics and automation actuators market, due to their superior performance and control rates over the other types of actuators.

As a result of the use of pneumatic actuators, miniaturization, materials, and the integration with electronics and condition monitoring are immensely aided.
