Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are a class of robots capable of autonomously navigating and comprehending their environment using a combination of sophisticated sensors, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computational algorithms for path planning.
AMRs come in various types such as goods-to-person picking robots, self-driving forklifts, autonomous inventory robots, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Goods-to-person picking robots are robotic systems that transport items directly to a preparation and packaging station, streamlining the process. These systems encompass hardware, software, and service solutions, with different battery options including lead, lithium-ion (Li-ion), nickel-based, and others. They find applications across industries such as defense, security, warehouse and logistics, energy, automotive, manufacturing, oil and gas, mining, and more.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are affecting the autonomous mobile robots market by increasing costs of imported sensors, batteries, control electronics, and robotic platforms. Warehouse and manufacturing operators in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported robot hardware, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on robot exports. These tariffs are raising deployment costs and slowing large-scale adoption. At the same time, they are encouraging local robot assembly, regional component sourcing, and development of cost-optimized autonomous mobile robot solutions.
The autonomous mobile robots market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides autonomous mobile robots market statistics, including autonomous mobile robots industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an autonomous mobile robots market share, detailed autonomous mobile robots market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the autonomous mobile robots industry. This autonomous mobile robots market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The autonomous mobile robots market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.79 billion in 2025 to $6.83 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of e-commerce logistics, rising warehouse labor shortages, adoption of basic agvs, increasing use of warehouse management systems, early investments in robotics.
The autonomous mobile robots market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.35 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in smart warehouses, rising demand for scalable automation, expansion of robotics in manufacturing, growing adoption of ai-driven logistics, increasing focus on operational agility. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of amrs in warehouses, rising deployment of collaborative mobile robots, growing integration of ai-based navigation systems, expansion of fleet management and analytics platforms, enhanced focus on flexible automation.
The rise in global e-commerce activity is significantly contributing to the growth of the autonomous mobile robot (AMR) market. E-commerce refers to the buying and selling of goods and services over the internet by companies and individuals. AMRs are used in e-commerce warehouses to reduce labor costs, increase pick rates, and automate repetitive tasks, enabling staff to focus on other areas of operations. For instance, in August 2024, according to the United States Census Bureau, U.S. retail e-commerce sales for the second quarter of 2024 reached an estimated $282.3 billion, marking a 5.3% increase compared to the first quarter of 2023. Therefore, the rise in global e-commerce activity is driving the growth of the autonomous mobile robot market.
Major companies in the autonomous mobile robot market are developing innovative solutions such as AMRs for manufacturing operations to improve efficiency and expand market reach. An AMR for manufacturing operations is a self-guided, wheeled robot capable of navigating a facility without continuous human guidance. For instance, in March 2023, WEG, a Brazil-based motors and generators company, launched the WMR (WEG Mobile Robot). This autonomous system enhances operational efficiency in internal transport tasks, using natural navigation techniques like Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) to avoid dynamic obstacles and automatically re-plan paths when encountering blockages.
In October 2023, Rockwell Automation, Inc., a U.S.-based company, acquired Clearpath Robotics for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables Rockwell to enhance its portfolio by leveraging Clearpath Robotics's expertise in autonomous robotics, including autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). Clearpath Robotics, Inc. is a Canada-based company that specializes in providing autonomous robotics solutions, including AMRs.
