Autonomous Mobile Robots Market

Autonomous Mobile Robots Market Outlook (2022-2032)

In the era driven by technology, smart device manufacturers must now than ever set to experience growth. Autonomous mobile robots have an extremely high level of accuracy in their informed and voluntary task performance. Autonomous mobile robots perform tasks in industries such as wastewater treatment, space flight, home maintenance, and cleaning.

Autonomous mobile robots typically function as a distinct entity within a given industry, but only within the strict limitations of the immediate environment. This is because the factory workplace presents difficulties for an industrial autonomous mobile robot because the processes are likely to involve chaotic and unpredictably changing variables.

Understanding the alarming shift towards mechanization manufacturers are investing in learning about the functionalities and environment of robots to work. This autonomous mobile robot would also have self-learning capabilities. For instance, manufacturers are offering autonomous mobile robots that function as lawnmowers, which adapt to the speed of growth of the grass. Moreover, some vacuum-cleaning autonomous mobile robots have dirt detectors that sense the quantity of dirt and accordingly calculate the time in which the dirt will be picked up.

The autonomous mobile robots market valuation is USD 2.85 Billion in 2022. The market is expected to surpass the value of USD 20.99 Billion by 2032. This market is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 22.1% in the forecast period.

What are the drivers and restraints of this market?

A fully functional autonomous mobile robot can gain precise information about the environment surrounding it and function accordingly without any governing force. This factor will enable the global robots market to boom during the forecast period. Their ability to perform in the time period without any intervention. These robots can function without damaging anyone or anything.

With the advancement of technology environmental sensors are embedded into them which is enhancing functionality. Thus, factors such as self-maintenance, sense of environment, and autonomous navigation are expected to propel the global autonomous mobile robot market.

However, These robots are very expensive. Small and medium enterprises cannot afford to invest in autonomous mobile robots due to heavy initial expenditure and high maintenance costs. Also, a lack of awareness regarding the technology for autonomous mobile robots hinders the growth of the global autonomous mobile robot market.

Segment wise Insights

On the basis of battery types, the lead section dominates with nearly half of the share in the market at present. The low cost of lead batteries is a major driver behind their adoption in broad applications. The lithium-ion battery is anticipated to witness growth in the forecast years owing to its high power charge and efficiency.

Robots in the picking systems are dominant in terms of revenue share. The warehouse and e-commerce deliveries are major segments where these robots are deployed anticipated to gain traction in forecast years.

In 2021, the manufacturing sector had the highest revenue share. The substantial proportion can be attributable to the global manufacturing industry's ongoing process automation. The market is further divided into the following subsectors: FMCG, automotive, aerospace, electronics, chemicals, medicines, and plastics. Among all the applications, industrial automation applications that involve mobile robots are expected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period.

Due to the aggressive adoption of AMRs for various tasks, including assembly, painting, sealing, coating, machine tending & part transfer, materials removal, as well as internal logistics associated with automotive manufacturing as part of the efforts to introduce lean manufacturing, the automotive segment also represented a significant market share.

Over the forecast period, it is anticipated that the aerospace and military segments would display a significant CAGR owing to the rising deployment of automation in these sectors. Due to the necessity to handle large-sized components like nacelles, fuselages, wings, and engine pods, production facilities related to the aerospace and defense industry verticals are sometimes enormous. However, the lanes that these parts must go through to get to the production facility are frequently quite small.

Aerospace and defense businesses are rapidly implementing AMRs to move heavy components inside the facility on predefined or dynamic routes in order to prevent any potential accidents and mishaps resulting from human errors while transferring large parts through constrained spaces.

Regional Outlook

When asked to rank regions, North America holds the largest market share of the global autonomous mobile robots market and is estimated to maintain a steady growth rate over the forecast period. The growth of the autonomous robot market in North America can be attributed to the ever-rising trend of building and industrial automation. Increasing adoption of autonomous robots in the military sector is expected to provide a boost to the autonomous robot market in the region.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to have the fastest CAGR in the forecast period owing to growing e-commerce trends and the deployment of autonomous robots for inventory handling. The adoption of these robots is intensifying competition in the sector. These E-commerce firms are deploying automation in warehouses with an intention to reduce time and save labor costs. The reduced delivery time is major criterion focused on by e-commerce firms in this region to determine differentiation.

Competitive Landscape

Currently, autonomous mobile robot manufacturers are focused on continuous upgradation and the addition of functional abilities to autonomous mobile robot technology. Vendors in this industry are aggressively focused on the expansion of their customer base. These vendors now than ever have understood the importance of the digital medium in the promotion and strategically using modern digital channels for marketing. Companies follow collaboration and partnership as key tactics to expand the business and gain an advantage through the partner’s knowledge.
