Packaging Robots Industry Segmentation:

IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the global packaging robots market report, along with forecasts at the global, regional and country levels from 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on gripper type, application and end user.

Breakup by Gripper Type:

Clamp

Claw

Vacuum

Others

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the gripper type. This includes clamp, claw, vacuum, and others.

Clamp grippers are predominantly used for handling rigid objects with defined shapes, such as boxes, cartons, and plastic containers. These grippers are highly reliable and can manage heavy payloads. Industries like food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods often prefer clamp grippers due to their ability to securely hold objects without causing damage, thereby ensuring the integrity of packaged products.

Claw grippers, also known as finger grippers, are versatile and capable of handling a variety of object shapes and sizes. They are particularly useful in industries requiring delicate handling, such as electronics or cosmetics. The multi-fingered design of claw grippers allows for more nuanced control over the items being packaged, making them ideal for tasks requiring greater precision.

Vacuum grippers are widely used for handling objects with flat surfaces or those that require gentle handling, such as glass panels, papers, and plastic films. They rely on suction to hold items and are highly preferred in industries, including automotive, electronics, and food packaging. These grippers are especially useful for high-speed applications and for handling fragile or sensitive items, as they reduce the chance of damaging the product during the packaging process.

Breakup by Application:

Picking and Placing

Packing

Tray Packing

Case Packing

Filling

Others

Palletizing

Case Palletizing

Bag Palletizing

De-Palletizing

Picking and placing holds the largest share in the market

A detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the application has also been provided in the report. This includes picking and placing, packing (tray packing, case packing, filling, and others), and palletizing (case palletizing, bag palletizing, and de-palletizing). According to the report, picking and placing accounted for the largest market share.

Picking and placing tasks are fundamental to any packaging operation, encompassing activities such as sorting items from conveyor belts and placing them into containers, boxes, or onto other conveyors. Since these tasks are repetitive, time-sensitive, and labor-intensive, packaging robots excel at performing them more efficiently and accurately than human workers.

The integration of advanced technologies like machine vision and artificial intelligence has further improved the effectiveness of robots in these applications, facilitating real-time adjustments and highly accurate operations. Such advancements make robots ideal for environments where speed, consistency, and high throughput are critical, such as in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and e-commerce industries. Additionally, automated picking and placing reduces the chances of manual errors and contamination, which is particularly important in sectors where stringent quality control and hygiene standards are in place. Owing to these factors, companies view investment in robots for picking and placing tasks as a strategic avenue to achieve operational excellence, thereby fueling the segment growth.

Breakup by End User:

Food and Beverage
