Autonomous Mobile Robots Industry Overview

The global autonomous mobile robots (AMR) market size was estimated at USD 3.49 billion in 2023 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 15.3% from 2024 to 2030. AMRs pick, transport, and sort items within manufacturing and distribution facilities without manual intervention. AMRs leverage vision cameras, onboard sensors, and facility maps integrated with warehouse execution software (WES) to perform various operations, such as moving raw materials and manufactured goods within the facility.

AMRs are highly preferred owing to their myriad benefits, such as preventing product damage, reducing labor costs, enhancing productivity, and automating processes. Incumbents of several industries and industry verticals, including transportation & logistics, automotive, and food & beverages, are already reaping the benefits of adopting AMRs. AMR are increasingly being used in smart factories to increase production flexibility and automate goods delivery. Thus, market players are providing customized AMRs to help deliver a smart factory fleet management package.

For instance, in March 2024, AFORMIC, a provider of AMRs, introduced new showroom of AMRs for warehousing and flexible manufacturing in the North America. AFORMIC, is a part of the AIUT Group, known as one of the biggest robotic and automation integrators in Europe, is expanding its intralogistics solutions to the North American market. The company is dedicated to comprehending the requirements of intelligent factories to enhance production adaptability and automate the delivery of goods. It provides tailor-made AMRs as part of a comprehensive smart factory fleet management solution, which was showcased at the event in Atlanta.

Warehousing and retailing companies are implementing AMRs to transform their material handling operations. For instance, in June 2022, Amazon.com, Inc. revealed Proteus, the company's first completely AMRs that goes across facilities autonomously utilizing enhanced safety, vision, and navigation technology. The new AMR can augment simple, safe interactions between technology and people, such as lifting and moving Go-carts, the non-automated, wheeled vehicles used to carry items through our facilities.

Furthermore, giant e-commerce companies continue acquisitions of autonomous robots vendors to proliferate their warehouse operations. For instance, ABB Group announced the acquisition of ASTI Mobile Robotics Group, a manufacturer of AMRs with applications across a broad range of critical applications based on the company's software suites. Consequently, ABB will be able to offer a broader range of robotics and automation products, making it the only company to do so for the upcoming generation of flexible automation.
