Saudi Arabia Collaborative Robots (Cobots) Market Trends & Drivers:
Saudi Arabia's collaborative robots market is experiencing explosive growth driven by Vision 2030's ambitious industrialization agenda, with the government targeting automation of 4,000 manufacturing plants within the next five years and the broader robotics in manufacturing market projected to grow from 1.83 thousand units in 2024 to 7.34 thousand units by 2033 at a CAGR of 16.70%. The Kingdom's $40 billion investment in AI announced in 2024 is accelerating cobot adoption across manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare sectors, with AI and robotics expected to contribute over $135.2 billion, equivalent to 12.4% of GDP by 2030, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The surge in mega-project construction is creating unprecedented demand for collaborative robotics, with NEOM's partnership with Samsung C&T resulting in a $350 million investment in construction automation that reduces manual labor time by 80% and costs by 40%, while generating over 2,000 highly skilled jobs in advanced robotics. GMT Robotics' strategic collaboration with NEOM Investment Fund for rebar cage assembly robots demonstrates the Kingdom's commitment to deploying cutting-edge automation for projects like The Line and Epicon, while the introduction of Muhammad, Saudi Arabia's first male bilingual humanoid robot in March 2024, showcases the nation's progress in human-robot interaction technologies.
Labor market transformation is accelerating cobot adoption, with persistent skilled labor shortages and the generational shift away from low-skilled or hazardous employment driving demand for flexible automation solutions that work safely alongside human workers. The market for industrial and service robots in the Middle East is projected to reach $4 billion by 2025, with the Kingdom positioning itself as a regional manufacturing hub through partnerships with global robotics firms. The increasing adoption of modular cobots with easily interchangeable components enables rapid production line adaptation at 40% lower costs than traditional industrial robots, while requiring no expensive safety enclosures, making automation accessible to both small and medium enterprises and large corporations across automotive, electronics, manufacturing, food and beverage, and chemicals and pharmaceuticals sectors throughout the Northern and Central, Western, Eastern, and Southern regions.
