The global robotics market in the paper, printing, and publishing industries is poised for significant growth, according to a study by HTF Market Intelligence. The report offers insights into industry trends, growth patterns, and strategic developments shaping the sector over the coming years.
Robotic technologies are increasingly being integrated into various stages of production—material handling, packaging, sorting, printing, and bookbinding—enhancing automation, precision, and overall productivity. This trend is expected to accelerate with the growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning tools aimed at improving print accuracy and operational efficiency.
According to HTF Market Intelligence, the market is forecast to grow at an annual rate of 10.7%, reaching a size of USD 2.7 billion by 2031, up from USD 1.1 billion currently. Leading companies active in this space include ABB, FANUC, KUKA, Yaskawa Electric, Mitsubishi Electric, and Universal Robots, among others.
The study highlights a strong market opportunity for robotics in sustainable paper production and recycling processes, as environmental concerns push the industry toward greener operations.
Regionally, growth is expected across key markets, including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. The research points to increasing demand for automation solutions in both developed and emerging economies, driven by the need to reduce costs, boost efficiency, and meet evolving customer demands.
The industry’s expansion is supported by the rising use of articulated robots, SCARA robots, collaborative robots, and delta robots across a variety of applications—from printing automation to logistics and packaging.
As companies invest in R&D and form strategic partnerships to enhance their technological capabilities, the robotics sector within the paper, printing, and publishing industries is set to become a critical pillar of future growth.
