Robotic palletizing is evolving fast, with global adoption expected to grow by?13.5% CAGR?through 2028 (Fortune Business Insights). Robots can handle up to?1,200 cycles per hour, reduce errors by?80%, and cut labor costs significantly ?? In 2025, trends like modularization, hardware cost reductions, and improved ease of use (for both cobot and industrial palletizers) will continue transforming how manufacturers and warehouses operate. But it’s not just about efficiency—safety is a major driver. Manual palletizing comes with significant risks. In 2022, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 266,530 cases of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) involving days away from work due to repetitive motions and heavy lifting. Additionally, over a five-year period, 30,000 emergency room visits were linked to pallet-related injuries, underscoring the broader risks of manual handling ?? Automated palletizing solutions mitigate these hazards, improving workplace safety and reducing injury-related costs—all while boosting throughput by up to 40%.Ready to see how these trends can impact your operations? Check out our blog for more insights ?? Link in the comments Which trend do you think will drive the biggest change next year?
