The robotics and automation market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $202.54 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of intelligent robotic systems, rising demand for autonomous industrial operations, growing integration of advanced sensors and control systems, increasing investments in smart factories, and rising need for flexible automation solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of collaborative robotics solutions, increasing deployment of automated manufacturing systems, rising integration of advanced machine vision technologies, growing demand for flexible and scalable automation solutions, and increasing focus on predictive maintenance and operational optimization.

The increasing expansion of e-commerce is expected to propel the growth of the robotics and automation market going forward. E-commerce refers to the buying and selling of goods and services through online platforms and digital networks. The expansion of e-commerce is attributed to increasing consumer preference for convenient online shopping experiences and faster delivery services. Robotics and automation are contributing to e-commerce operations by enabling automated inventory management, order picking, sorting, packaging, and warehouse transportation, thereby helping retailers manage growing order volumes efficiently. For instance, in May 2025, according to the Census Bureau, a US-based government statistical agency, total U.S. e-commerce sales reached $1.19 trillion in 2024, compared to $1.10 trillion in 2023, representing an 8.1% increase. Therefore, the increasing expansion of e-commerce is supporting the growth of the robotics and automation market.

Companies operating in the robotics and automation market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), to enhance operational efficiency, optimize material movement, and support increasingly complex industrial workflows. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are self-navigating robotic systems that transport materials and goods within manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and distribution centers using onboard sensors, mapping technologies, and intelligent navigation software without requiring fixed guidance infrastructure. In September 2023, OTTO Motors, a Canada-based autonomous mobile robot company, launched the OTTO 1200, a heavy-duty autonomous mobile robot designed for material handling in compact industrial environments. The robot can transport payloads of up to 1,200 kilograms, operate in narrow spaces with a compact footprint, and incorporate advanced autonomous navigation technology that enables safe movement around people, equipment, and obstacles. The solution also supports seamless integration into existing warehouse and manufacturing workflows, helping organizations enhance productivity and operational flexibility.

In January 2024, ABB Robotics, a Switzerland-based provider of industrial robots, autonomous mobile robots, machine automation solutions, and robotics software, acquired Sevensense Robotics AG for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, ABB aimed to enhance its autonomous mobile robot (AMR) portfolio by incorporating advanced AI-enabled 3D vision navigation technology, improving robot intelligence, flexibility, and autonomous operation in dynamic industrial environments. Sevensense Robotics AG is a Switzerland-based provider of AI-powered 3D vision navigation technology for autonomous mobile robots, supporting intelligent mapping, localization, and navigation capabilities for automated industrial operations.
