This is you Robotics Industry Insider: AI & Automation News podcast.

The robotics and industrial automation industry is entering a new phase of rapid expansion, propelled by breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and collaborative robotics. According to ABI Research, global robotics market value will reach approximately fifty billion dollars in 2025, climbing to one hundred and eleven billion by 2030. Nearly thirteen million robots will be in circulation by the end of the decade, with mobile robots dominating both hardware and software sales. Asia Pacific is leading this transformation, especially China, which now accounts for forty-two percent of all industrial robot sales worldwide. In parallel, the industrial automation and control systems market is projected to hit two hundred twenty-six billion dollars in 2025, with ongoing double-digit growth rates forecast through 2030.

AI integration is now central to robotics innovation. Physical AI and closed-loop automation are elevating collaborative robot, or cobot, capabilities, enabling safer, smarter, and more autonomous production environments. Leading companies such as Yaskawa, KUKA, FANUC, and ABB are pushing the envelope in AI-driven robotics, with software for perception, motion control, and advanced analytics set to generate twenty-four billion dollars in revenue by 2030. In addition, humanoid robots and industrial exoskeletons are experiencing a surge in research investment. Exoskeletons, for instance, are finding traction in manufacturing for enhancing worker safety, and in healthcare for rehabilitation applications.

Recent news highlights several key industry events. First, global robot installations in factories are expected to grow by six percent in 2025, crossing the five hundred seventy-five thousand unit mark, with robots now essential for labor resiliency and production quality. Second, collaborative robots are gaining momentum in small and medium enterprises, making automation accessible to over ninety percent of manufacturing firms with fewer than one hundred employees, according to Autodesk. Third, innovative partnerships are reshaping the industry landscape; for example, major players are collaborating on integrated AI and IIoT platforms to deliver predictive maintenance and real-time operational agility.

For industrial firms considering new automation initiatives, the data is compelling: companies investing in robotics report an average twenty-two percent reduction in operating costs and a thirty to two hundred percent return on investment in the first year. However, listeners should note that success depends on robust project planning. Recent industry surveys suggest that up to seventy percent of automation and digital transformation projects fail to meet their objectives, often due to insufficient workforce buy-in and technical challenges.

Looking ahead, expect further acceleration in AI-enhanced robotics, greater adoption of cobots on factory floors, and stronger market momentum in Asia Pacific and North America. For action-oriented takeaways, listeners should evaluate their current workflow bottlenecks, start small with cobots or automation pilots for quick wins, and prioritize upskilling their teams to fully benefit from smart automation technologies.
