Healthcare mobile robots are robots specifically designed for use within the healthcare industry. They are utilized in healthcare settings to transport medical supplies, medications, and equipment throughout hospitals or clinics, enhancing workflow efficiency and allowing healthcare professionals to focus on critical patient care.
The main types of healthcare mobile robots include hospital robots, care robots, imaging assistance robots, rehabilitation and mobility robots, teleoperation and telepresence systems, surgical robots, walking-assisting robots, and others. Hospital robots are automated machines designed to perform various tasks in a hospital setting, such as delivering medications, transporting supplies, and assisting with sanitation. The components of these robots include hardware, software, support, and service, catering to different end-users such as hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, rehabilitation centers, and other healthcare facilities.
Tariffs are impacting the healthcare mobile robots market by increasing costs for imported sensors, semiconductors, batteries, and robotic hardware components. These impacts are most evident in asia-pacific and north america, where manufacturing and component sourcing are globally distributed. Higher input costs have influenced procurement timelines and pricing for hospitals and care facilities. However, tariffs are also encouraging local manufacturing, supply chain diversification, and regional assembly of healthcare robots, supporting long-term market resilience.

This healthcare 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 healthcare mobile robots market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.67 billion in 2025 to $6.76 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to shortage of healthcare staff, rising hospital operational costs, increasing patient admission volumes, need for workflow automation in hospitals, demand for efficiency in medical logistics.
The healthcare mobile robots market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.67 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing adoption of automation in healthcare facilities, rising investments in hospital robotics infrastructure, increasing focus on patient safety and staff productivity, expansion of smart hospital projects, rising demand for contactless healthcare operations. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of autonomous hospital logistics robots, rising adoption of contactless material and medication transport, growing use of mobile robots for infection control and disinfection, expansion of telepresence and remote care support robots, rising integration of robots into hospital workflow management.
The increasing demand for automation is expected to drive the growth of the healthcare mobile robot market in the coming years. Automation involves the use of technology, such as machinery, software, or robotics, to carry out tasks or processes with minimal human intervention. The rise of automation is fueled by technological advancements, the need for greater efficiency and productivity, and efforts to address labor shortages and reduce operational costs. In healthcare, mobile robots are employed to streamline tasks like logistical support and direct patient care, enhancing operational efficiency and improving patient outcomes. For instance, in September 2024, according to the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based non-profit organization, the 276,288 industrial robots installed in 2023 represented 51% of global installations, marking the second-highest annual total on record after the 290,144 units installed in 2022. This growing demand for automation is driving the expansion of the healthcare mobile robot market.
Major companies in the healthcare mobile robot market are developing advanced technologies to enable continuous medication delivery and streamline pharmacy operations. Round-the-clock medication delivery refers to the uninterrupted, 24/7 distribution of medicines to ensure timely patient access. For example, in June 2024, Richtech Robotics, a US-based technology company, launched Medbot-an autonomous mobile robot designed to enhance hospital efficiency by automating continuous medication transport. Medbot features elevator integration for multi-floor operations, four secure storage compartments, advanced sensors and cameras for safe navigation, and a touchscreen interface for scheduling and tracking. By addressing pharmacy staffing shortages and ensuring accurate, secure, and cost-effective deliveries, Medbot allows pharmacy teams to focus on higher-priority tasks. With a 100% delivery success rate and IoT-enabled hospital integration, Medbot represents a significant advancement in healthcare automation, improving both patient care and operational performance.
In January 2024, ABB Ltd., a Switzerland-based automation company, acquired Sevensense Robotics AG for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is aimed at bolstering ABB Ltd.'s capabilities in autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and advanced robotics solutions.
