The robotics and automation actuators market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $32.89 billion in 2025 to $37.91 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing industrial automation adoption, early use of electric and pneumatic actuators, expansion of manufacturing robotics, growing demand for precise linear and rotary actuation, reliance on mechanical actuators in legacy systems.
The robotics and automation actuators market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $67.68 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for high-efficiency electric actuators, development of compact robotic actuation platforms, expansion of autonomous manufacturing systems, growth in advanced motion control solutions, increasing integration of smart sensor-based actuators. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of automation-driven actuation systems, advancement of intelligent manufacturing actuators, integration of AI-assisted motion control, deployment of IoT-enabled robotic actuators, expansion of cloud-based predictive actuation platforms.
The rising demand for industrial robots is expected to drive the growth of the robotics and automation actuators market in the coming years. Industrial robots are mechanical machines programmed to autonomously carry out production-related tasks in industrial environments. They are reprogrammable, used for a wide range of applications, and classified as flexible automation. Electric actuators enable industrial robots to perform highly automated motion sequences with consistent precision and speed. For example, in September 2024, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), a Germany-based organization dedicated to advancing robotics technologies, reported in its new World Robotics report that 4,281,585 robot units were operating in factories worldwide, representing a 10% increase. Annual installations surpassed half a million units for the third consecutive year. Regionally, 70% of newly deployed robots in 2023 were installed in Asia, 17% in Europe, and 10% in the Americas. Thus, the growing demand for industrial robots is fueling the expansion of the robotics and automation actuators market.
Major companies in the robotics and automation actuators market are concentrating on launching new technological solutions to strengthen their competitive advantage. Technological solutions refer to the methods and components used to generate controlled force, torque, or displacement when an electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic input is applied to the actuator. For instance, in March 2023, ROBOTIS Co., Ltd., a South Korea-based robotics components manufacturer, released the DYNAMIXEL-Y actuator series. This series features a high-performance frameless motor, supports an optional electronic brake for enhanced safety, and delivers high-speed and high-torque performance with accurate absolute position control.
In May 2024, Pneumax Group, an Italy-based provider of pneumatic, electric, and fluid control automation solutions, acquired Automationware S.r.l. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Pneumax aimed to broaden its presence in the electric actuation and motion control sector, strengthening its technological capabilities in robotics and industrial automation applications. Automationware S.r.l. is an Italy-based manufacturing company that produces high-performance electric actuators, servo drives, and mechatronic systems for use in robotics, collaborative robots, and industrial automation machinery.
