The mobile robotics software market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of mobile robotics software has expanded at a fast pace in the recent past. The market is set to rise from a value of $16.37 billion in 2024 to $18.42 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%.
The significant increase during the historical period has been fuelled by advancements in sensor technology, enhancements in computational power, progress made in artificial intelligence and machine learning, industry demands for automation and efficiency, and the requirement for more secure and flexible robotic systems.
The mobile robotics software market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the mobile robotics software market is projected to experience swift expansion, estimated to reach $29.17 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%.
This predicted increase during the projected period can be linked with the widespread usage of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the growth of the e-commerce and logistics fields, the rising embracement of automation within the manufacturing and healthcare industries, growing demand for autonomous vehicles and drones, and advancements in the fields of cloud and edge computing. Key developments anticipated within the projected period encompass the emergence of cooperative robots (cobots), inclusion of artificial intelligence and machine learning for adaptive and predictive functionalities, the proliferation of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) within logistics and warehousing, the expanding role of service robots within the healthcare and retail sectors, and the creation of software solutions to support swarm robotics and multi-robot coordination.
The growth of the mobile robotics software market is anticipated to surge owing to the escalating demand for automation. Automation, employing technologies for the production and delivery of products and services with minimal human assistance, is receiving significant interest across various sectors. This is because automation enhances efficiency, cuts down labor costs, minimizes errors, and optimizes resource use. Mobile robotics software serves as a crucial catalyst for automation, enabling businesses to refine their processes, enhance productivity, and maintain a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving commercial market. For instance, the International Federation of Robotics, a non-profit organization located in Germany, reported in September 2023 that there were 553,052 industrial robot installations worldwide in factories, indicative of a 5% growth rate year-on-year in 2022. Consequently, the escalating demand for automation is fueling the growth of the mobile robotics software market.
