According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Force Sensors for Industrial Robots market size was valued at US$ 329 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1437 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 23.7% during review period.
Force Sensors for Industrial Robots give robots a human-like touch by measuring force and torque. This sensor enhances your automation by enabling robots to perform tasks previously reserved for master craftsmen. Operating in a closed-loop system, it uses data from sensors to precisely guide robot movements and maintain consistent force levels. The industrial force sensors in this report mainly refer to six-dimensional force sensors. The six-dimensional torque sensors are the highest-dimensional force sensors. With their advantages of high precision, high sensitivity, high bandwidth, and high reliability, they can provide the most comprehensive force information and improve sensing accuracy. They play a vital role in multiple industrial fields.
Force Sensors for Industrial Robots are precision sensing devices installed at the joints or ends of robots. They are used to measure the six-dimensional force/torque data (forces Fx, Fy, Fz in three orthogonal directions and torques Mx, My, Mz around three axes) generated during robot operation, and to achieve accurate perception and control of the contact force between the robot and the outside world.
Force Sensors for Industrial Robots are the "tactile nerves" of intelligent manufacturing. Through force feedback closed-loop control, they significantly improve the flexibility, precision and safety of robots, and are indispensable in precision operations and collaborative applications. According to the latest research data, the global sales of Force Sensors for Industrial Robots will be nearly 55,000 sets in 2024, of which China's sales will be about 16,000 sets, a year-on-year increase of more than 40%. It is estimated that by 2031, the global market sales will reach 430,000 sets, and China's sales will reach 160,000 sets, with a compound annual growth rate of 34.38% from 2025 to 2030. At present, the high-end market of the Force Sensors for Industrial Robots industry is dominated by foreign brands (ATI Industrial Automation, Epson, etc.), but the market share has continued to decline in recent years. The major domestic manufacturers are led by Yuli Instruments, Kunwei Technology, and Xinjingcheng, followed by Blue Point Touch (Beijing) Technology, Changzhou Right Measurement and control system, and Hypersen Technologies. The market share of these domestic brands continues to increase. Although none of the top five domestic Force Sensors for Industrial Robots companies are listed, with the rapid growth of the market size, many listed companies have begun to develop industrial six-dimensional torque sensors and have made varying degrees of progress. Comparing the differences between domestic and foreign products, the accuracy of domestic and foreign mainstream products is basically aligned, but there is still a gap in sensitivity, crosstalk, overload resistance and inter-dimensional coupling error. From the price point of view, domestic brands have a higher cost-effectiveness and are expected to accelerate the process of domestic substitution.
According to different measurement principles, they can be divided into photoelectric, strain, capacitive, piezoelectric and other types. Among all force sensors, strain force sensors are the most widely used, and their usage accounts for more than 80% of the total force sensors. At present, foreign companies that use strain sensors include ATI Industrial Automation, Schunk, ME-Meßsysteme, Sintokogio, etc. Chinese companies basically use this kind of technical principle to develop Force Sensors for Industrial Robots.
At present, Force Sensors for Industrial Robots are widely used in assembly robots, polishing robots, collaborative robots, etc. According to the latest research data, assembly robots account for more than 40% of the application in 2024, followed by polishing robots. From the perspective of regional markets, Asia-Pacific not only occupies the largest market share of industrial robot force sensors in the world, but also has the highest market growth rate, with the Chinese market performing particularly well. With the growing demand for high-precision automation in the manufacturing industry, and the continued increase in demand for high-precision assembly, polishing and grinding in industries such as automobiles, electronics and aerospace, the industrial robot force sensor market will usher in huge development space.
