by Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are intelligent robots capable of performing tasks in warehouses and production facilities without the need for dedicated guidance systems or infrastructure requirements. AMRs are portable robots that use intelligent navigation systems, sensors and software to map their environment and autonomously maneuver around obstacles. They are increasingly being adopted by e-commerce and logistics companies to automate warehouse operations and streamline material movement.
The global autonomous mobile robots market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3.41 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.1% over the forecast period 2024-2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends: The demand for automation in warehouses is a major driving factor for the adoption of autonomous mobile robots. Warehouse operators are under increasing pressure to improve productivity and reduce labor costs. AMRs help optimize workflows, reduce errors and improve order fulfillment speeds in warehouses. Their navigation capabilities allow them to work efficiently even in complex warehouse environments without need for dedicated infrastructure. This is boosting their adoption for various material handling processes like Transporting goods within facilities, Sorting recyclables and trash, Towing airplanes, Moving materials during manufacturing. The growing e-commerce sector is also relying more on AMRs for inventory management and order fulfillment in distribution centers.
