Increasing investment in pharmaceutical industry by global pharmaceutical players and growing use of robots for drug discovery process drives growth of pharmaceutical robots market.    

The first industrial robot was invented in 1954, after that modern industrial robot arms continued to evolve in the 1960's and 70's around the globe. The robots which are used for the pharmaceutical industry are the pharmaceutical robots. These robots composed of manipulator, sensor devices, robot tooling. The robot in pharmaceutical industry has several benefits. Robots are 3 or 4 times efficient than humans and they can work 24/7. Robotics plays an important role in the manufacture of pharmaceutical drugs because nowadays production of pharmaceutical products increasing hence many pharma companies looking for the speed with accuracy and automation. These robots can be used for packaging, filling, inspection, etc. Another contribution of robotics is speeding up the drug discovery process and also these robots are used to make devices such as syringes, inhalers, IV bags and diabetes test kits. The use of robotics systems in the pharmaceutical industry has great potential and pharmaceutical companies are gradually introducing more robotic systems into their operations. For example, American surgical instrument manufacturer, Argon medical devices set up an example that how manufactures in the pharmaceutical industry gain benefits from robots. In its Chicago facility, Argon medical devices use MiR200 robots from mobile industrial robots transport materials from production to warehouse. Due to this the company can optimize its resources.

Recent News: Parata Systems Launched New Pharmacy Vial-Filling Robot

News: On October 10, 2019 Parata Systems launched next generation vial-filling robot, Max 2. Parata Systems is a leading pharmacy technology solution provider that supports business growth for better health outcomes.  This pharmacy automation robotic automates the labeling, filling and capping of vials, aimed to enhance workflow and meet needs of busy pharmacies. The company said that, Max 2 can contribute to reduce costs and medication errors by automating up to 80% of a pharmacy’s oral solids with accuracy for drug and dose. This Max 2 include some new advances like enhanced software that includes user-friendly navigation, color-coded LEDs provide visible clues to alert pharmacy group members, vials are refilled. Max 2 has verification camera that captures the contents of every vial before capping, automated drug cellular calibration for quick and accurate National Drug Code (NDC) changes, a 2D barcode scanner to reduce manual NDC entry time.

Global Pharmaceutical Robots Market dynamics –

The key factor for the growth of global pharmaceutical robots market is increasing investment in pharmaceutical industry by global pharmaceutical players and the requirement of the innovative drugs and clinical trial in the pharmaceutical industries raise the demand for robot system. According to the Robotics Business Review, in January 2020 the investment in healthcare robots was USD 110 million while in April 2020 it was USD 123 million for various purposes such as for developing radio surgical robots for brain tumor, neurosurgical robots and robots to aid orthopedic surgeons. According To International Federation of Robotics, by 2020 more than 1.7 million new industrial robots will be installed in factories worldwide so as the investment in robotics in healthcare increases, so the growth of the pharmaceutical industries also increases.

In the era of Industrial revolution 4.0, automation took place every industry, as a result of this lab automation is rapidly applying in pharmaceutical industries and this lab automation act as an another factor for growth of global pharmaceutical robots market. This lab automation helps in major concern of drug discovery like the cost benefit and error reduction. A quality control lab can reduce costs by around 25% - 45 % through enabling robot system.  If the lab work is done by robots there is less chances of contamination and gives error free results. Along with these some lab functions like screening, plate replication, reformatting, protein extraction and others are possible due to the lab automation. For example, universal robot UR3 ROBOT helps in picking and placing, conducting lab analysis as well as injection molding. However, high costs of robots and lack of skilled technicians who can work in automated units may restrain the growth of global pharmaceutical robots market. The various technological advancements like speech recognition, force sensing, under water robots and many others will create huge opportunity to fuel the global pharmaceutical robots market during the forecast period.
