Global Delivery Robots Market By Load Carrying Capacity, By Component (Hardware & Software), By Number of Wheels, By End User Industry (Food & Beverages, Retail, Healthcare & Others), By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2027

The global delivery robots market is projected to register over 20% CAGR during the forecast period, as delivery robots help to reduce the cost of last mile delivery. These robots are designed and programmed to deliver couriers, food and shipments from one place to another. Increasing venture funding and low cost of last mile delivery by using robots as compared to human drivers are expected to push the global delivery robots market during forecast period. Moreover, technological advancements and high efficiency of delivery robots compared to the existing modes of delivery are also anticipated to have a positive impact on the delivery robots market, globally.

The global delivery robots market can be segmented based on load carrying capacity, component, number of wheels and end-user industry. Based on load carrying capacity, the market can be classified into less than 10kg, 10-50kg and more than 50kg. Of these segments, More than 50kg is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period, as it is the preferred segment among cargo shipment and retail for the delivery of parcels to consumers. On the basis of component, the global delivery robots market can be bifurcated into hardware and software. In 2018, the hardware segment dominated the market and is likely to maintain its leading market position in the coming years, as hardware components, such as LiDAR, sensors and cameras, serves as the crucial parts and acquire major share of the delivery robot’s cost. The delivery robots market caters to various end-user industries such as food & beverages, healthcare, retail and others. The food & beverages segment accounted for the largest market share in 2018, however, adoption of delivery robots is forecast to increase in the retail sector during forecast period, as the cost of delivery is lower than the traditional methods.
