The mobile robotics market was valued at $19.62 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach $99.19 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 19.8% from 2024 to 2032.
Mobile robotics is a branch of robotics that involves the development and use of robots capable of moving autonomously or semi-autonomously in various environments. These robots are designed to perform tasks in dynamic and unpredictable settings, ranging from warehouses and hospitals to outdoor exploration and disaster response scenarios. They are equipped with sensors, actuators, and advanced algorithms that enable navigation, obstacle avoidance, and interaction with their surroundings.
The global mobile robotics market is witnessing robust growth due to factors such as increase in focus of businesses to minimize operational expenses, optimize workflows, and achieve better return on investment as well as expansion of industries like manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing that are increasingly deploying mobile robots to improve efficiency, reduce labor costs, and address labor shortages. As per a 2024 article published by EMSNow - provider of daily news and views for the electronics manufacturing world - mobile robotics are estimated to reach 2.8 million shipments by 2023.
In addition, increase in use of mobile robotics in the healthcare sector for tasks like disinfection, delivery of supplies, and telemedicine significantly contributes toward the market growth. Moreover, the development of autonomous cars and drones is accelerating the growth of the mobile robotics market. As per a study published by Statista in 2023, 63% or more of all vehicles sold globally are expected to be integrated with Level 2 autonomy by 2025. Furthermore, the Federal Aviation Administration claimed that there are 791,597 drones registered as of October 2024.
Thus, with increasing penetration of autonomous car and drone technologies, the mobile robotics market benefits from reduced R&D costs, leading to wider adoption and application of these technologies. Furthermore, surge in need for mobile robotics in the military and defense sector for surveillance, reconnaissance, and explosive ordnance disposal augments the market growth. However, high initial investment required for developing and deploying mobile robotics systems hampers the market growth. In addition, limited battery life and the need for frequent recharging reduce the operational efficiency of mobile robots, especially in applications requiring prolonged usage, thus restraining the market growth.
Contrarily, innovations in sensors, such as LiDAR, cameras, and proximity sensors, enhance the navigation and perception capabilities of mobile robots, making them more reliable and versatile. Furthermore, advancements in battery efficiency and charging capabilities are enabling longer operational periods and reducing downtime for mobile robots. Such developments are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the expansion of the global market during the forecast period.
The global mobile robotics market is segmented into application, product, component, and region. By application, the market is classified into logistics & warehousing, military & defense, healthcare, domestic, entertainment, education, agriculture & forestry, and others. On the basis of product, it is categorized into unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). Depending on component, it is divided into hardware, software, and support & services. Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
On the basis of product, the unmanned aerial vehicle segment exhibited the highest growth in 2023.
Depending on component, the hardware segment led the mobile robotics market in 2023.
Region wise, Asia-Pacific dominated the mobile robotics market in 2023; LAMEA is expected to register the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2032.
