Autonomous Mobile Robots AMR Market

Autonomous Mobile Robots Market Size

The global autonomous mobile robots market was valued at USD 3.1 billion in 2025. The market is expected to grow from USD 3.4 billion in 2026 to USD 7 billion in 2031 and USD 17 billion in 2035, at a CAGR of 19.5% during the forecast period according to the latest report published by Global Market Insights Inc.

The rise of the AMR market can be attributed to several factors such as E-commerce and warehouse automation, increasing presence of AMR in health care and pharmaceutical industries, enhanced safety and efficiency of industrial and logistic operations, and utilization of autonomous mobile robots (AMR) in the hospitality sector.

The increase in online sales through e-commerce and remote shopping portals through omni-channel retailing affects the use and growth of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in the warehouse environment as fast as possible since by 2027 the total worldwide business-to-consumer (B2C) according to the International Trade Administration, e-commerce industry is estimated to reach approximately USD 5.5 trillion, leading to an increase in the number of AMRs being employed to perform activities such as sorting, assembly, warehouse management, and distribution of goods. Because of all these improvements in the warehouse process, AMRs are a major contributor to increasing warehouse operational efficiency by streamlining and simplifying warehouse operations, reduction of development cost, and significantly decreasing turnaround time on warehouse/ inventory fulfillment whereby consequently enhancing speed to customer gratification.

AMR usage in agriculture and food processing significantly contributes to the growth of this market segment. Crops are monitored, harvested, and packaged through automation, resulting in higher levels of productivity, lower reliance on employees, and improved precision in operations. As reported by the USDA Economic Research Service, in 2023, 52% of midsize farms and 70% of large-scale crop farms used auto-steering systems that are part of AMRs—this represents an increase in use compared to the early 2000s. The widespread adoption of auto-steering systems further advances the integration of AMRs into agriculture.

Between 2022 and 2024, the autonomous mobile robots market witnessed considerable growth, increasing from USD 2.4 billion in 2022 to USD 2.8 billion in 2024. AMRs are being developed with higher load capacities to facilitate larger payloads across industries. This has become increasingly common over the last few years, as AMRs are now optimizing processes like warehousing, manufacturing, and logistics by reducing the number of trips made by the AMR and reducing the amount of time and effort needed to complete those tasks. One example of this is Omron Corporation's announcement in November 2023 of their MD-series AMRs, which have payload capacities of 650 kg and 900 kg and allow for greater efficiency and productivity in the industrial environment.

Autonomous Mobile Robots Market Trends

• Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are being used in autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for navigation, real-time decision making, and data processing. This has become increasingly popular since the mid-2010s, improving the performance of robots by enabling them to adapt to dynamic environments, plan more efficient paths, and provide safer operations.
  
• For Instance, ABB Robotics' Flexley Tug T702, which uses AI visual slam (simultaneous localization and mapping) technology and allows the AMR to identify both static and moving objects and make real-time decisions while navigating through the AMR's environment.
  
• Collaborative autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), designed to collaborate with human employees, are becoming increasingly prominent in the autonomous mobile robots market. They first became popular during the latter part of the 2010s. Collaborative AMRs have increased productivity in many areas where humans used to handle repetitive work so that they could concentrate on more complex work. The rise of collaborative AMRs is largely due to the many advantages they provide to businesses and workers alike includes reduced workplace accidents, optimized workflow, and improved efficiency.
  
• The National Robotics Initiative 2.0 supports research that develops collaborative robotic systems. With funds provided by multiple federal agencies, the National Robotics Initiative 2.0 promotes the creation of safe, and environmentally friendly, integrated environments for human-robot collaboration.
  
• Another significant growth trend in the autonomous mobile robot industry is related to energy efficiency improvements. Since energy efficiency has been one of the strongest trends in the AMR industry since the 2012s, as battery technologies have developed to allow AMRs to operate longer without having to recharge, this also results in lower operational costs and reduces downtime related to charging.
  
• For Instance, the energy-efficient AMR technology is seen in 2024 when Axiomtek introduced their energy-efficient AMR controller called the ROBOX300. The ROBOX300 was based on an Intel Core i5 processor and greatly increased reliability and reduced power consumption for use with industrial automation applications.
