The Germany market dominated the Europe Autonomous Last Mile Delivery Market by country in 2023, and is expected to continue to be a dominant market till 2031; thereby, achieving a market value of $467.3 million by 2031. The UK market is exhibiting a CAGR of 21.6% during 2024-2031. Additionally, the France market is expected to experience a CAGR of 23.7% during 2024-2031.



One of the primary motivations behind the shift to autonomous last-mile delivery is the rising labor costs and workforce shortages in the logistics sector. Autonomous delivery solutions reduce reliance on human labor, allowing companies to cut costs while maintaining efficient operations. The expansion of smart cities and IoT-based infrastructure further accelerates the deployment of autonomous last-mile delivery solutions.

AI-powered traffic management systems, sensor-enabled smart roads, and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication networks enhance the ability of autonomous vehicles to navigate urban environments, avoid congestion, and improve delivery efficiency. The development of dedicated delivery lanes, smart docking stations, and geofencing-enabled delivery zones will further facilitate the adoption of autonomous last-mile delivery in high-density urban regions.

In the UK, the retail sector is a major driver of autonomous last-mile delivery adoption, fueled by the boom in e-commerce and same-day delivery expectations. The UK government’s Future of Mobility: Urban Strategy outlines key areas for integrating autonomous vehicles into the logistics and retail ecosystem, making last-mile delivery more efficient and sustainable. The Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) has allocated funding to support the development of self-driving delivery systems, particularly in urban retail hubs. The retail sector in France is currently experiencing a significant push for autonomous last-mile delivery, which is being propelled by the growing demand from consumers for more efficient and expedited e-commerce fulfillment. With France ranking among Europe's top three e-commerce markets, major retailers and logistics providers are exploring self-driving delivery robots, electric autonomous vans, and drone-based deliveries to improve efficiency. The food and beverage industry in Germany is undergoing a rapid transition to autonomous last-mile delivery in order to satisfy the increasing demand for sustainable, efficient, and expedited delivery services. With the rise of on-demand grocery platforms such as Gorillas and Flink, businesses are exploring self-driving delivery robots and drones to optimize operations. Therefore, with ongoing investments, regulatory advancements, and AI-driven automation, Europe is set to become a global leader in autonomous last-mile logistics.
