According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Collaborative Robots Pneumatic Gripper market size was valued at US$ 124 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 218 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 8.4% during review period.
In 2025, global Robot Pneumatic Gripper production reached approximately 55k units, with an average global market price of around US$ 2200 per unit.
A collaborative robots pneumatic gripper is a compressed-air-driven end-of-arm gripper designed for collaborative robots and human-shared workspaces. It uses compact pneumatic cylinders to actuate jaws, while emphasizing lightweight and low inertia, rounded safe geometry, simplified integration (quick mounting, streamlined pneumatics), and practical sensing for cobot workflows (open/close confirmation, part presence). Compared with traditional industrial pneumatic grippers, it is optimized for collaborative deployment and safety, though it typically provides less continuous programmability of force/position than electric grippers.
The upstream mainly includes materials and precision components for the gripper body (aluminum alloy/steel parts, guide rails, bearings, seals), miniaturized pneumatic components more commonly used in collaborative scenarios (miniature cylinder structures, throttle valves, connector pipelines, filter pressure reducers, compact solenoid valves), and sensing and connectivity (magnetic switches/limit switches, workpiece detection, wiring harness connectors); the midstream consists of gripper manufacturers who create standardized series of mechanisms, pneumatic circuits, and sensing options that are "collaborative robot friendly," and provide quick-install flanges, adapters, and safety risk reduction designs; the downstream consists of collaborative robot manufacturers, system integrators, and end-user factories, using them in "human and robot co-working/close-range" scenarios such as 3C electronics, light industrial assembly, packaging and end-processing, laboratory and pharmaceutical production assistance, and machine tool loading and unloading. Representative ecosystem companies include: SCHUNK, SMC, and Festo (pneumatic grippers and pneumatic systems).
The annual production capacity of a single-line Robot Pneumatic Gripper is approximately 1k units, with a gross profit margin of approximately 20%-45%.
The collaborative robots pneumatic gripper market is in a phase of collaborative expansion where pneumatics and electrics coexist. Pneumatic grippers remain attractive in fast-to-deploy, cost-sensitive cobot cells—offering quick response, mature mechanics, and robustness to misuse/impacts, while leveraging existing plant air infrastructure for packaging, handling, and machine tending. As cobots scale beyond pilots, customers demand less tuning, better traceability, and easier maintenance, pushing pneumatic grippers to become more “cobot-native”: lighter/low-inertia designs, safer geometries and pinch-risk mitigation, integrated open/close and part-detection sensing, plus quick-mount adapters and tool-change ecosystems. Meanwhile, electric grippers gain faster in high-mix or process-critical steps requiring continuous force/position control, creating structural substitution pressure. Drivers include wider cobot adoption in SME manufacturing and flexible stations, compressed deployment cycles, and pragmatic TCO/reliability preferences; headwinds include energy and air-maintenance costs, de-pneumatization/decarbonization initiatives, and growing demand for data-driven closed-loop gripping enabled by electric tools. Overall, cobot pneumatic grippers are likely to stay strong in cost-sensitive, cycle-defined, and harsher environments, defended by sensing and modular upgrades as cobot deployments scale.
