The healthcare mobile robots market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.03 billion in 2023 to $4.79 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including an increased healthcare workforce, rising healthcare costs, heightened infection control measures, greater government and institutional support, and an increased focus on patient-centered care.

The healthcare mobile robots market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.68 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the integration with electronic health records, customization and personalization, user training and acceptance, environmental sustainability, and the aging population. Major trends expected during this period include advanced AI and machine learning integration, interoperability and system integration, telepresence and remote operation, biometric and health monitoring, and robust cybersecurity measures.

The growing demand for automation is expected to propel the growth of the healthcare mobile robot market in the coming years. Automation refers to the use of technology, such as machinery, software, or robotics, to perform tasks or processes with minimal human intervention. This demand is rising due to advancements in technology, the increasing need for efficiency and productivity, and the necessity to address labor shortages and reduce operational costs. In healthcare, automation is used in mobile robots to optimize tasks such as logistical support and direct patient care, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and improving patient outcomes. For instance, in October 2022, a report by the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based professional non-governmental organization, noted that factories worldwide deployed 517,385 new industrial robots, a significant increase from approximately 39,400 in 2020. Therefore, the growing demand for automation is driving the growth of the healthcare mobile robot market.

Major companies in the healthcare mobile robot market are focusing on developing solutions with advanced technology, such as robots with omnidirectional driving capabilities, to improve efficiency, enhance safety, and streamline the delivery of medical supplies and equipment in complex and crowded healthcare environments. Robots equipped with omnidirectional driving capabilities facilitate the efficient transportation of medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and equipment within limited spaces. For instance, in March 2022, Oceaneering International, a US-based automation company, launched three new robots, the UniMover D 100, UniMover O 600, and MaxMover CB D 2000. The UniMover D 100 is a small underride vehicle designed for transporting light goods and features on-demand obstacle avoidance, making it ideal for direct deliveries in healthcare settings. The UniMover O 600, with its omnidirectional driving capabilities, excels in maneuverability and is perfect for transporting bulk items such as medical equipment and pharmaceuticals in confined spaces. The MaxMover CB D 2000 replaces conventional forklifts, handling diverse load types with exceptional maneuverability and a sophisticated control system, ensuring safety in healthcare environments.

In August 2021, Zebra Technologies, a US-based manufacturer of technology solutions, acquired Fetch Robotics for $305 million. This acquisition aims to accelerate Zebra Technologies' enterprise asset intelligence vision and expand its growth in intelligent industrial automation through the acquisition of Fetch Robotics. This move will enhance Zebra's ability to optimize workflows and supply chain operations by leveraging automated, data-driven environments to improve efficiency from production to consumption. Fetch Robotics is a US-based company that develops autonomous mobile robots suitable for use in healthcare and various other sectors.
