The global waste sorting robots market was valued at $1,684.1 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $10,120.8 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 19.6% from 2022 to 2031. Waste sorting robots are automatic machines, which are used for waste sorting. Waste sorting robots have changed the method of sorting of waste. Rather than using conventional method of sorting of the waste, robotic arm has been implied in many countries across the world. Along with the waste sorting, these robots can be used for recycling of the products from the waste. In the metallurgical industry, waste sorting robots are proved to be very useful as materials such as organic elements, earth minerals and metals are separated from the waste.
Robotic automation is pervasive in all industries and day-to-day operations. Robots are also used in the recycling industry today. These robots are multitasking, scalable, and have a built-in learning system that can operate 24 hours a day without fatigue. This means that they can be widely used for waste treatment and recycling throughout the industrial cohort. These recycling robots are fast, accurate, and capable of handling large amounts of waste. In addition, it has a large number of picks per hour, allowing to work with the same accuracy on different shifts which boost the demand of the market in the forecast period. However, massive investment at initial stage and high maintenance cost are expected to hamper the growth of the market. Major players adopt business expansion and acquisition as key developmental strategies to improve the product portfolio of waste sorting robot’s market. For instance, in May 2022, AMP Robotics Corp., a pioneer in AI, robotics, and infrastructure for the waste and recycling industry, introduced two new high-diversion production facilities based on its infrastructure model for advanced secondary sortation facilities in Atlanta and Cleveland. This is expected to improve the product portfolio of the company.
The waste sorting robots market is segmented into waste sorting type, application, end-user, and region. By waste sorting type, the market is categorized into plastic products sorting, metallic waste sorting, wood & bricks sorting, and others sorting. The metallic waste sorting segment is expected to maintain this trend throughout the coming years.
On the basis of application, the market is bifurcated into waste sorting and recycling. The waste sorting segment is anticipated to dominate the global waste sorting robots market. The end-user segment is fragmented into municipality and industrial. In 2021, municipality segment accounted for the highest market share, followed by the industrial. Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
