According to the report, the mobile cobots market is likely to continue to be influenced by a range of macroeconomic and market-specific factors in the next few years. In terms of demand, Asia Pacific is projected to lead the global market during the forecast period. The market in the region is likely to expand at a CAGR of 35.9% from 2018 to 2026. South Korea and Japan are expected to be major contributors to the mobile cobots market in Asia Pacific during the forecast period.

A mobile cobot (mobile collaborative robot) is an intelligent, transportable robot that can assist humans in a shared workspace. Mobile cobots are moving platforms wherein cobots are mounted on mobile robots. These are automated machines. It is an emerging technology that is capable of moving within a set environment. Apart from the manufacturing industry, mobile cobots are used for research and exploration. Currently, use of mobile robots has extended to the industrial sector. In the recent years, there has been a significant rise in the demand for industrial robots in the automotive sector.

This can be attributed to increasing customer demand for customization in their cars. Unlike industrial robots, collaborative robots are not dedicated to only a single task. Hence, manufacturers are now switching to collaborative robots. Inclination toward industrial automation is acting as a driver of the mobile cobots market. Robots have been utilized in industries for a long time. They have made the human work easier by running large industrial settings. Robots in factories have typically been large, caged devices that perform repetitive, dangerous tasks in place of humans. Moreover, rising labor costs in developing economies, mostly in material handling industries, are driving the demand for cobots. This is primarily due to economic growth of industrialized countries.
