根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據，2024 年全球機器人和自動化致動器市場規模為 244 億美元，預計在預測期內將以 14.4% 的複合年成長率成長，到 2030 年將達到 548 億美元。

機器人和自動化致動器是將能量轉化為機械運動的關鍵組件，可實現機器人系統和自動化過程中的精確運動。這些致動器關節、手臂和末端執行器能夠確保建築、醫療保健、航太和其他行業的精確且可重複的運動。與氣動裝置一樣，致動器有多種類型，專為需要速度、功率和精度的特定應用而客製化。材料和材料的進步使現代致動器能夠提高性能、擴充性和可靠性，從而推動機器人和自動化致動器的創新。

根據麥肯錫預測，到 2025 年，先進機器人技術的經濟影響將達到 1.7 兆美元至 4.5 兆美元。

製造業對自動化的需求不斷成長

製造業對自動化的需求不斷成長是機器人和自動化致動器市場的主要驅動力。隨著業界努力提高效率、精度和生產力，自動化系統擴大被採用。致動器透過實現運動控制和機械運動在這些系統中發揮關鍵作用。這一趨勢在汽車、電子和食品加工等行業尤為強勁，自動化有助於降低人事費用並提高產品品質。因此，對先進致動器的需求持續成長，推動市場擴張。

初期投資成本高

高昂的初始投資成本是機器人和自動化致動器市場的主要限制因素。實施自動化系統需要大量資金來購買設備、整合技術和培訓人員。這些成本對於中小型企業 (SME) 來說是高昂的，並限制了他們採用自動化解決方案的能力。此外，與這些投資相關的較長投資回收期可能會阻礙潛在的購買，從而減緩市場成長，儘管提高效率和生產力具有長期好處。

新興國家工業化進展

新興國家工業化程度的提高為機器人和自動化致動器市場帶來了巨大機會。隨著中國、印度和巴西等國家擴大製造能力，對高效率生產流程的需求不斷增加。包括致動器在內的自動化解決方案對於實現這些效率至關重要。政府支持工業成長和外國投資的舉措進一步支持了這一趨勢。隨著這些經濟體不斷發展其工業部門，對先進致動器的需求預計將大幅增加。
