Key Players
Competitive Landscape
Competition centers on integration depth, atomizer architecture, and application support.
Dürr, ABB, and FANUC compete closest to robotized paint-line integration.
SAMES Kremlin, Carlisle Fluid Technologies, Graco and Nordson compete through application hardware and controls.
Spraying Systems Co., GEA, and Bühler address process atomization or spray-drying workflows where rotary choices interact with broader process design.
Company Developments Mapped to Drivers, Trends and Opportunities
| Development | Driver | Trend | Opportunity |
|---|---|---|---|
| In June 2026, Dürr reported EcoBell4 beta-site operation under real production conditions. | Paint-shop teams use transfer efficiency and waste reduction to justify upgrades. | Rotary cup atomizers hold a leading share in 2026 because they combine centrifugal atomization with controllable shaping air. | Suppliers must prove finish quality at the customer's actual coating chemistry and production speed. |
| In October 2024, ABB launched the RB 1000i-S paint atomizer for automotive paint shops. | Automated coating cells create demand for atomizers that hold pattern stability at production speed. | Air turbine driven systems lead while Robot-mounted systems lead Automation Level with a leading share. | Robot and fluid integration must be engineered before a plant outage begins; safety and control checks must also be closed. |
| In May 2024, FANUC unveiled the CRX-10iA/L Paint collaborative robot for painting and for powder or gel coating applications. | Serviceable retrofit designs can unlock orders without replacing the complete paint system. | Automotive paint leads Application , while Coating equipment OEMs lead Sales Channel . | Suppliers must prove finish quality at the customer's actual coating chemistry and production speed. |
