The global industrial robotics software market is witnessing strong growth, valued at USD 3.7 billion in 2025 and projected to reach USD 8.1 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period.

Peter Potters, Product Manager for End-of-Arm Tooling at Festo, said: "Artificial intelligence has enormous potential to solve engineering and manufacturing challenges. GripperAI is a strong example of AI being applied practically to address operational issues.
The industrial robotics software market is increasingly evolving from conventional programming environments into sophisticated software layers that coordinate robot perception, motion, task execution, simulation, connectivity, and fleet-level operations. Manufacturers are increasingly using software that allows multiple robotic assets to be used as coordinated systems in various assembly, material handling, inspection, welding, packaging and intralogistics environments, rather than as independent automated machines.
The software-defined robotics trend is impacting market development, with manufacturers looking for platforms that can change the robot's behavior through software rather than through significant hardware changes. The advent of modern solutions creates new opportunities to integrate robot operating systems, simulation software, vision software, offline programming, digital twins, and centralized monitoring into a more integrated development environment, which allows engineering teams to design, test, deploy, and optimize robotic solutions.
Adjacent growth opportunities are emerging across robot-as-a-service, cloud-based fleet management, virtual commissioning, autonomous mobile robotics, humanoid robotics, AI-assisted programming, and multi-robot orchestration, allowing software providers to extend beyond individual robot control toward broader automation management. Such advances are broadening the use of robotics software from a programming tool to a strategic layer for scalable, flexible and constantly optimized industrial automation.


The global industrial robotics software market is moderately consolidated with the robotics manufacturers and automation vendors including robot programming, simulation, offline programming, motion control, and digital commissioning software in its offerings, and now with more and more user autonomous production workflows. Flexibility and software-driven automation are driving manufacturers to embed robotics software more seamlessly into the engineering, manufacturing and factory-management environment.
The key players in the market are ABB Ltd., FANUC Corporation, KUKA AG, Siemens AG, and Yaskawa Electric Corporation, which offer a range of solutions, such as robot simulation, programming environments, motion-control software, digital manufacturing platforms, offline programming, and robotic process optimization solutions. They have established installed bases, automation knowledge and experience, global service networks, and integration capabilities that allow them to cater to a wide range of industrial applications and software deployment in production environments.
Flexibility in programming of robots, accuracy in simulations, digital commissioning, interoperability, AI integration and deployment ease are becoming competitive factors. Companies are investing in virtual robot programming, digital twins, cloud connected robotics, simulation environments, and software platforms that integrate robots with larger industrial automation systems, providing new avenues for differentiated software solutions, and increased opportunity for robotics software in today's manufacturing environment.
