Autonomous Delivery Robots Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Fully Autonomous and Semi-Autonomous), By Component (Hardware and Software), By Battery (Lithium-ion Battery, Lead Battery, Nickel based battery and Other battery types), By End User (Healthcare, Hospitality, Retail and Other End Users) and Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Autonomous Delivery Robots Market is accounted for $2.97 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $7.81 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 17.5% during the forecast period. Last-mile delivery services are provided by autonomous delivery robots. In some specific situations where the robot cannot resolve itself, such as when it is stranded in a challenging environment, an operator can observe the display and then simply take control of the robot. Delivery robots could be used for a variety of tasks, including food, package, room service, and healthcare delivery. In addition, the need for autonomous delivery robots is rising as a result of rising urbanisation and industrialization, which is anticipated to propel market growth. Global market growth is being hampered by the strict laws and regulations that governments of many developing nations have put in place restricting the use of delivery robots in public places. Consequently, because many developing nations cannot afford it, the high cost of manufacturing these delivery robots restricts the expansion of the global industry. High customer demand has forced the makers of delivery robots to begin significant operations across several sites. Additionally, a lot of end users desire autonomous delivery robots with digital equipment, and smart or intelligent delivery robots give manufacturers a competitive edge.

According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the annual growth of the household disposable income in 2020 in Costa Rica was around 7.5%. Estonia was around 6.5% and Ireland was around 5.2%. Thus, the high disposable income across developing countries and awareness among people for online shopping has created the demand for the products through an online platform, which has led to an increase in demand for autonomous delivery robots.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing focus on reducing carbon footprint

One of the market trends is the increasing attention being paid to lowering carbon footprint. To reduce carbon emissions, several governments have enacted strict regulations. As a result, a lot of businesses are looking for transportation alternatives, like autonomous vehicles (AVs). ADRs allow for flexible product delivery to customers, lowering the number of delivery retries and the emissions they cause. As a result, ADRs are a growing delivery option and can help cut carbon emissions, which can spur market expansion.

Restraint:

Expensive reverse logistics

Online businesses must plan ahead in order to deliver goods to various locations safely and on time. In order to meet customer needs and remain competitive, online retailers constantly innovate their processes by adopting ADRs. Last-mile delivery and reverse logistics are expensive and difficult processes. Such factors hinder the growth of the market.

Opportunity:

Demand in E-commerce and packaging industry

The market for autonomous delivery robots has attractive potential due to rising consumer expectations for quicker and more convenient deliveries. E-commerce and package delivery are both growing quickly, and many startups have already started experimenting with using them to deliver packages and groceries to customers (ADRs). Due to outstanding developments in computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning, and robotic mechanics, they are also getting better at performing tasks that were previously more difficult to automate. Therefore, the need for greater efficiency in the logistics and supply chain is anticipated to fuel the market's growth.

Threat:

Malfunctioning of robots

Regulations differ from region to region because it's crucial to follow several rules and guidelines related to the security of laser products. Furthermore, the high cost of ENT procedures, product recalls, and strict laws and regulations governing the production and use of laser devices could restrain market expansion during the forecast period.

Covid-19 Impact

Due Covid-19 pandemic almost every industry, including electronics, semiconductors, manufacturing, automobiles, etc. had a major impact. However, due to significant shifts in consumer preferences for technological services, a number of technology-related businesses have seen an increase in revenue. Additionally, both developed and developing nations have seen significant technological advancements as a result of the pandemic. Autonomous delivery robots are becoming more popular because of the COVID-19 outbreak for a variety of contactless delivery tasks. With the ongoing pandemic crisis, the market is anticipated to see numerous deployment instances, particularly in the healthcare sector.

The Fully Autonomous Robots segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

People nearby may suffer harm or even danger if ADRs start to malfunction. Therefore, customers are still very concerned about potentially dangerous malfunctions or planned attacks. ADRs are susceptible to both external theft attacks from thieves and cyberattacks. Current robotic products have been found to have additional flaws, including unencrypted control communications, issues with authentication, and insufficient authorization that could allow hackers to replace firmware. Such drawbacks of robots prevent consumers from adopting them, which is anticipated to have an impact on market growth during the forecast period.

The Lithium-ion Battery segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the lithium-ion battery segment is anticipated to register highest CAGR. Costs for lithium-ion batteries are typically higher than those for lead batteries. Lithium-ion batteries, however, support high-power charge and discharge while also meeting specifications for various industrial environments, including high energy density, excellent temperature performance, and long cycle life. Moreover, it is estimated that the numerous benefits of lithium-ion batteries will encourage AMR manufacturers to use them to power their individual AMRs, which is boosting the segment growth.

Region with largest share:

Due to the presence of numerous startups and manufacturers North America region is expected to hold largest share during the forecast period. Manufacturers engaged in the development of autonomous delivery robotic technology is credited with the region's growth. Additionally, the market is expected to grow due to the increasing use of autonomous delivery robots. Furthermore, the regional market's expansion is being fueled by the continued process automation in other business sectors and industry verticals.

Region with highest CAGR:

During the forecast period, the market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to have the highest CAGR due to result of the rising demand for food delivery services in developing nations like China and India. The use of autonomous mobile robots for inventory management is being encouraged by the expanding e-commerce sector in Asia Pacific's emerging economies. Furthermore, the rapid urbanisation of these areas and rising disposable income levels will increase demand for autonomous robots in this region.
