Robotic Palletizers Market Players Focusing on Modern Technologies

The e-commerce industry has significantly evolved in the last few years as an increasing number of consumers are favoring new ways of shopping. With their changing preferences, consumers have become more inclined towards online shopping and doorstep delivery. As a result, the packaging manufacturers or handlers have come across huge opportunities to grow across the countries.

The e-commerce industry has been exhibiting increasing demand for single-SKU pallets typically used for retail and warehouse fulfillment, which results in smaller cases and pallet sizes.?Palletizers need to operate at a faster rate to operate smaller loads instead of larger loads.

Robotic palletizer and de-palletizer manufacturers are looking for in-built flexibility that can help users avoid additional reprogramming costs for their robotic palletizers down the line.

Rising demand for articulated robotic palletizers & de-palletizers

Articulated robotic palletizers take up very little space, giving them a large demand among end users. In contrast, traditional palletizers & de-palletizers require larger space and are hence less preferred among manufacturing or warehousing units.

Some of the leading companies such as KUKA AG, FANUC Corporation, ABB Ltd, and others are adopting new technologies and procedures in order to improve the operating rate and load handling capability so that these improved machines can be applied in the places traditional palletizers are preferred for their heavy load handling potential and higher speed.

In this modern digital era, robotic palletizers are getting equipped with artificial intelligence in order to minimize the error created by a computer operator in the input and the probability of products being wrongly handled. Despite holding huge scope of implementation, AI technology tends to result in advanced technological developments in the domain of palletizing and de-palletizing market during the forecast period (2020-2030).

Who is winning?

As the global robotic palletizers and the de-palletizers market are to offer an increase in opportunities for various market players, the top players like Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, FANUC Corporation, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. And others are continuously assessing and adopting new technologies in order to cater to the growth in demand among the global end-users.

Key takeaways

• By product type, the boxes/cases segment (palletizers and de-palletizers) is likely to witness surging demand, especially in the industrial packaging sector
• In terms of place, factories have emerged dominant and is expected to continue leading the market through the forecast period between 2020 and 2030
• Articulated robots have emerged as dominant among machine types and is forecast to reach a market valuation of US$ 1.6 Bn by the end of 2025
• Accounting for nearly one-third of the global market share, the food and beverages industry has emerged as the leading end user
• South and East Asia together are forecast to emerge as the largest market for robotic palletizers and de-palletizers.
