The autonomous mobile robots market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.63 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise of swarm robotics, global pandemic impact, cross-industry adoption, growing government support, growing demand for customization. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, collaborative robots (cobots), sustainable and eco-friendly solutions, customization and scalability, connectivity and integration.

The surge in global e-commerce activity is significantly driving the growth of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in the future. E-commerce refers to the buying and selling of goods and services by companies and individuals over the internet. AMRs can be utilized in e-commerce warehouses to reduce labor costs and enhance picking rates, effectively replacing time-consuming, repetitive tasks and enabling operations to reassign personnel to other areas of the warehouse. For example, in August 2024, the United States Census Bureau, a U.S.-based government agency, reported that U.S. retail e-commerce sales for the second quarter of 2024 reached an estimated $282.3 billion, reflecting a 5.3% increase compared to the first quarter of 2023. Consequently, the rise in global e-commerce activity is playing a crucial role in the growth of the autonomous mobile robots market.

The burgeoning healthcare industry is anticipated to propel the growth of the autonomous mobile robot market. Encompassing a wide spectrum of organizations, services, and professionals involved in medical care and health-related services, the healthcare industry relies on efficient logistics and material handling. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are increasingly adopted to automate tasks such as transporting medical supplies, equipment, and medications within healthcare facilities. A March 2022 report from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services highlighted the projected growth in national health spending, estimating an annual increase of 5.1% between 2021 and 2030, reaching nearly $6.8 trillion. During this period, Medicare spending is expected to rise at a 7.2% annual pace, and Medicaid spending will experience a 5.6% annual rate. Hence, the dynamic expansion of the healthcare industry is a significant driver for the autonomous mobile robot market.

Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend in the autonomous mobile robots market, with major companies prioritizing improvements in technology to enhance the autonomous capabilities and broaden the applications of their AMRs. In June 2022, Amazon Inc., a leading US-based e-commerce company, introduced a groundbreaking autonomous mobile robot named Proetus. This innovative robot can lift and transport go-carts and wheeled carts used by Amazon for parcel transfer within facilities. Utilizing proprietary safety, perception, and navigation technology, Proetus showcases Amazon's commitment to integrating robotics into shared physical spaces with human workers. The continuous focus on technological enhancements positions key players to maintain a competitive edge in the evolving autonomous mobile robots market.

Key players in the autonomous mobile robot market are actively engaged in the development of innovative products, particularly focusing on autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) designed for manufacturing operations. These AMRs are self-guided, wheeled robots engineered to operate seamlessly within manufacturing facilities, eliminating the need for continuous human intervention. For example, WEG, a Brazil-based company specializing in motors and generators, introduced the WMR (WEG Mobile Robot) in March 2023. This autonomous robot is uniquely positioned to enhance operational efficiency in industries with internal transport needs. Tailored for optimizing repetitive tasks in production processes, the WEG robot operates as an AMR system, utilizing a distinctive natural navigation or contour strategy. Employing methods such as Simultaneous Location and Mapping (SLAM), it autonomously navigates through the facility, adeptly avoiding dynamic obstacles and automatically re-planning paths in response to blocking situations.

In October 2023, Rockwell Automation, Inc., a U.S.-based company, acquired Clearpath Robotics for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables Rockwell to enhance its portfolio by leveraging Clearpath Robotics's expertise in autonomous robotics, including autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). Clearpath Robotics, Inc. is a Canada-based company that specializes in providing autonomous robotics solutions, including AMRs.

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are a class of robots capable of autonomously navigating and comprehending their environment using a combination of sophisticated sensors, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computational algorithms for path planning.

AMRs come in various types such as goods-to-person picking robots, self-driving forklifts, autonomous inventory robots, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Goods-to-person picking robots are robotic systems that transport items directly to a preparation and packaging station, streamlining the process. These systems encompass hardware, software, and service solutions, with different battery options including lead, lithium-ion (Li-ion), nickel-based, and others. They find applications across industries such as defense, security, warehouse and logistics, energy, automotive, manufacturing, oil and gas, mining, and more.
