The growth of the e-commerce and online food industries is anticipated to drive expansion in the delivery robot market. E-commerce refers to the buying and selling of goods and services online, while the online food industry specifically involves ordering and delivering food through digital platforms. The surge in these industries stems from increased digitalization, technological advancements, shifting consumer preferences toward convenience, and broader internet accessibility. E-commerce and online food businesses utilize delivery robots to optimize last-mile delivery, cut operational costs, enhance efficiency, and satisfy consumer demand for fast, convenient delivery solutions. These robots leverage autonomous technology to navigate urban areas and deliver goods directly to customers. For example, data from the United States Census Bureau in February 2024 indicated that U.S. e-commerce sales reached $1.11 trillion in 2023, marking a 7.6% increase from 2022. Consequently, the expansion of e-commerce and online food industries is driving growth in the delivery robot market.

Leading companies in the delivery robot sector concentrate on crafting autonomous delivery solutions, exemplified by Servi, to refine route planning, adapt to changing environments, and enhance efficiency through AI-powered decision-making. Servi, an autonomous delivery robot, adeptly transports goods sans human intervention, traversing sidewalks, streets, or designated pathways to complete last-mile deliveries. Notably, Bear Robotics Inc., a US-based engineering and robotics firm, introduced Servi in February 2023 to revolutionize the food service industry. Servi assists staff by serving drinks and food, clearing tables, and enables employees to deliver exemplary customer service. Equipped with AI and autonomous technology, Servi boasts 100% self-driving capabilities, LiDAR sensors, and multiple cameras for intelligent navigation, learning different table locations and returning to its base after deliveries.
