Key Market Drivers

Rising Automation Demand and Operational Optimization

The surge in automation initiatives across industrial environments remains a major force propelling the mobile robots market. Companies are increasingly prioritizing efficiency gains, reduced manual workload, and consistent output quality. Evidence of this trend is seen in the United States, where industrial robot installations increased by 12% in 2023, reaching 44,303 units, according to the IFR's May 2024 "U.S. Companies Invest Heavily in Robots" report. These investments reflect a broader industry commitment to robotics as a strategic tool for maintaining productivity and competitiveness.

Key Market Challenges

A primary barrier to market penetration is the high initial capital cost associated with purchasing and deploying mobile robots. These expenses pose a particular hurdle for small and medium-sized enterprises, which often operate within tighter budget constraints. The substantial upfront cost can slow-if not entirely prevent-adoption, despite the long-term efficiency benefits mobile robots can offer.

Efforts to overcome these financial constraints are reflected in the rising uptake of flexible acquisition models. According to the IFR (2024), the robot-as-a-service (RaaS) fleet expanded by 31%, indicating that many organizations prefer subscription-based or rental models to avoid heavy capital expenditures. Even with these alternatives, the large initial investment needed for ownership continues to limit broader market expansion.

Key Market Trends

Advancements in AI Navigation and Swarm Robotics

Mobile robots are becoming increasingly autonomous due to major improvements in AI-powered navigation, real-time environmental mapping, and collaborative swarm intelligence. These advancements allow robots to efficiently operate in highly dynamic and complex environments. A notable example is GreyOrange's collaboration with Google Cloud, announced in August 2025, which introduced GreyMatter DeepNav, an AI-based navigation engine designed to cut Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) path-planning training time by up to 80%. Such innovations support industry-wide growth, with the Association for Advancing Automation (A3) reporting that 31,311 robots were ordered by North American companies in 2024, marking a modest 0.5% increase from 2023.
