Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Smart / AI-enabled Industrial Robots market size was valued at US$ 20425 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 38261 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 9.4% during review period.
Smart / AI-enabled industrial robots are automatically controlled, reprogrammable and multipurpose robotic systems designed for industrial production environments, typically consisting of multi-axis mechanical structures, servo drives, robot controllers, teach pendants or programming software, safety control modules, end-effector interfaces and industrial communication capabilities. The scope focuses on robot bodies and embedded intelligent functions used in welding, painting, handling, assembly, palletizing, machine tending, dispensing, polishing, inspection, packaging, semiconductor handling and other manufacturing processes. Intelligence is reflected in vision guidance, force control, collision detection, adaptive motion, offline programming, digital twin simulation, predictive maintenance, edge computing and AI-assisted control.
Smart industrial robots should be understood as an intelligent upgrade layer on top of the established industrial robot market rather than as a completely separate statistical category. The core product base remains articulated robots, SCARA robots, delta robots, Cartesian/gantry robots and collaborative robots, while the “smart” attributes come from embedded sensing, control software, safe collaboration, adaptive programming, vision guidance, force control, predictive diagnostics and digital connectivity. For market sizing, this report applies a narrow OEM-oriented scope, including robot bodies, controllers, embedded robot software and intelligent options sold with the robot platform. Large-scale integration projects, standalone machine vision systems, end-of-arm tooling, AMR-only products, service robots and humanoid robots are treated outside the 2025 revenue model.
Demand growth is increasingly driven by the spread of automation beyond large automotive plants. Automotive remains essential for high-payload robots and welding, painting and handling applications, but incremental demand is shifting toward electronics, new energy manufacturing, metalworking, food and pharmaceuticals, semiconductor handling, packaging and flexible production in small and medium-sized factories. Labor shortages in advanced manufacturing economies, supply-chain relocation in Asia, and manufacturing upgrades in China are all supporting broader robot adoption. Collaborative robots, low-code programming, integrated vision and force control are especially important because they reduce deployment barriers and extend robot use into smaller production cells.
Industry competition is moving from pure mechanical performance toward software-defined usability, application know-how and intelligent deployment. ABB’s announced sale of its Robotics business to SoftBank highlights the strategic value of combining robot hardware with AI and platform capital. Traditional leaders still benefit from reliability, service networks and large installed bases, while emerging suppliers compete through lower cost, easier programming, collaborative safety, vertical application packages and regional responsiveness. Over 2026–2032, the market is expected to expand steadily, but price competition in China and commoditization in lower-end cobots will pressure margins, making software, service, application depth and global support increasingly important differentiators.
