The autonomous mobile robots market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the market size for autonomous mobile robots has seen fast-paced growth. Forecasting an increase from $5.02 billion in 2024 to $5.87 billion in 2025, the market is projected to rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.9%. Factors contributing to growth during the historic period include the surge in e-commerce, labor scarcity, decrease in costs, enhanced safety, and compliance measures, along with supply chain optimization.
The Autonomous Mobile Robots market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• There is predicted to be a swift expansion in the market for autonomous mobile robots in the coming years. The market is anticipated to increase to $11.63 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.6%.
The surge during the projected period could be due to a variety of factors, including the rise in swarm robotics, the impacts of the global pandemic, the adoption across different industries, increasing government backing, and a rising demand for customization. Key trends in the projected period encompass technological progression, collaborative robots (cobots), sustainable and environment-friendly solutions, customization and scalability, along with connectivity and integration.
The surge in global online shopping activity is playing a significant role in propelling the growth of autonomous mobile robots. E-commerce, which is simply the online buying and selling of goods and services by businesses and individuals, finds a valuable ally in Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR). These robots can be employed in e-commerce warehouses to reduce labor costs, improve pick rates and supplant monotonous, repetitive tasks. This, in effect, frees up personnel to be delegated to other aspects of warehouse operations. For example, the U.S. retail e-commerce sales for the second quarter of 2024, as reported by the United States Census Bureau, a U.S. government entity, hit an estimated $282.3 billion. This is a 5.3% rise compared to the first quarter of 2023. Accordingly, the burgeoning global e-commerce activity is vitally supporting the expansion of the autonomous mobile robots market.
