The Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) Market size was valued at USD 1.24 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 3.13 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 13.4% from 2024 to 2030. In terms of volume, the market size was 51135 units in 2023, and is projected to reach 179952 units by 2030, with a CAGR of 18.7% from 2024 to 2030.
AMRs are complex robots that moves and operate in different environments by themselves and without any human help. AMRs utilizes variety of sensors, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to determine their own location and surroundings to act on it.
The robots use cameras, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDaR), Radio Detection and Ranging (RADaR), and ultrasonic sensors to observe their surroundings. As these sensors helps to allow the robot to generate a precise map of its environment, detect barriers or humans in its route, and adapt to new situations as they arise.
The acquired data is subsequently processed by an on-board artificial intelligence system, which makes decisions based on it. The AMR's AI algorithms develop ideal pathways for navigation and control instructions based on the analyzed information, ensuring that activities are done in the least amount of time feasible. In addition, these robots are capable in terms of mobility in complicated environment, avoiding objects which block their way or responding quickly enough when something around changes unexpectedly. They can also perform numerous functions such as handling materials, managing inventory systems, manipulating objects mechanically plus cooperating closely with individuals during joint working activities.
AMRs also enhance productivity and efficiency in terms of repetitive or time-intensive tasks autonomously. These robots can function continuously, without getting exhausted that results in increased output and shorter cycle times.
Adoption of robotics in various industries such as automotive, electronics, and foods & beverages has increased, which has led to development & adoption of AMRs. According to the latest World Robot report, the global average robot density in manufacturing industries has doubled in the past five years, with 126 robots per 10,000 employees. This increasing trend indicates the growing importance of automation and need for more advanced robotics technologies, such as AMRs, to optimize manufacturing processes, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. In addition, the ability of these robots to navigate their surroundings is crucial for their effectiveness and efficiency in various industries, such as logistics, pharmaceuticals, and automotive. Hence, with rise in use of robots continues, demand for advanced AMRs is expected to increase.
This trend has driven development of more sophisticated algorithms & sensors and integration of AMRs into a growing number of robotic systems. For instance, in March 2022, Geek+ and Bosch Rexroth have extended their partnership agreement to develop and deploy new technologies. As part of the partnership, the companies have collaborated to create a unique version of Geek+'s MP1000R moving robot that integrates Bosch Rexroth's laser localization software ROKIT Locator. Thus, development and implementation of advanced robotics continues to grow in the future, which is expected to propel the market growth.
AMR demand is fueled by the need for flexibility and effective automation in intelligent manufacturing due to increasing emphasis on Industry 4.0. Autonomous material transport, inventory management and production optimization are enabled by AMRs that offer flexibility, adaptability as well as seamless integration with the Internet of Things (IoT) and AI.
AMRs play an essential role in increasing productivity, reducing costs and meeting the dynamic needs of today's manufacturing environment as Industry 4.0 continues to drive digitisation. AMRs are an essential asset of the Industry 4.0 ecosystem due to their ability to work in informal environments, collaborate with people and journey through difficult spaces.
A significant obstacle to market expansion is the high implementation costs of AMRs. For businesses, especially SMEs, there is a barrier to affordability caused by significant upfront investment needed for the acquisition and deployment of these robots. This financial barrier often prevents organizations from adopting the advantages of AMRs, limiting their capacity to improve operational efficiency and productivity.
Furthermore, a significant barrier to entry into the market is the high integration costs of autonomous mobile robots. Given the significant upfront costs, it becomes difficult for new entrants and smaller companies that lack sufficient resources to compete on the market. Competition and innovation are restricted by this lack of market accessibility, which prevents the industry as a whole from developing.
In order to enable more accurate and reliable AMRs, advances in sensor technology play a key role. Detailed information on the robot's surroundings is provided by LiDAR sensors, depth camera and inertial measurement units. This information includes the distance to obstacles, angular velocity, position of objects and robot orientation. These data are then used by autonomous robot vehicles to map the environment and enable them to drive autonomously.
The development of more advanced sensors with higher accuracy and resolution has led to increased adoption of these systems in various industries, from logistics to pharmaceuticals. Hence, the evolving sensor technology is anticipated to enhance the precision and efficiency of AMRs. This is expected to provide ample growth prospects for the market in the future.
The rise of industrial automation and robotics in North America has become prominent in recent years, propelled by factors including rising labor expenses, the demand for enhanced efficiency, and shortages in labor within e-commerce, logistics, and manufacturing sectors. Consequently, there has been a growing uptake of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) in the region. As per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, wages and salaries in the U.S. rose by 4.3% for the 12-month period ending in December 2023, following a 5.1% increase for the 12-month period ending in December 2022.
Furthermore, the presence of prominent regional players in the AMR industry, such as OTTO Motors, and Clearpath Robotics, has contributed to the market growth in North America. These key players have adopted strategies such as new product introductions to maintain their dominance in the market. During 2023, OTTO Motors introduced the OTTO 600, an Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) with the ability to manage payloads of up to 600 kilograms, establishing it as the most durable and agile AMR within its category.
In addition, the growing demand for mobile robots for improving efficiency in the manufacturing sector fuels the autonomous mobile robot industry growth in this region. As an example, WEG introduced a new AMR designed to improve efficiency in manufacturing. This robot helps in handling repetitive tasks that involve transporting materials within a facility. WEG's AMR equipped with SLAM to move around on its own to improve efficiency in industrial settings.
The Asia-Pacific region is experiencing rapid growth in the Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) market, driven by factors including the increasing adoption of AMRs in the established semiconductor industry throughout the region. As per the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization, the Asia-Pacific region saw a notable year-on-year growth rate of 11.3% in semiconductor sales from 2022 to 2023, indicating significant potential for the integration of AMRs within the semiconductor sector in the future.
In addition, the demand for AMRs to optimize productivity at warehouses is being driven by the rapid growth of e-commerce across Asia-Pacific region. This region is the largest market for business to consumer shopping and online retail, according to an Asian Development Bank report which forecasts that by 2025, it will have a share of 61% globally. This dominant position in the e-commerce landscape indicates that the adoption of AMRs is poised to accelerate in the near future within the region.
