Autonomous Mobile Robots Market Segment Insights

Self-driving forklifts segment is expected to grow at a substantial rate

On the basis of types, the autonomous mobile robots market is segmented into autonomous inventory robots, goods-to-person picking robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, and self-driving forklifts. The goods-to-person picking robots segment dominated the market in 2019 due to the rising distribution of autonomous robots for eliminating manual picking and paper-based system.

These robots can carry carts and move goods between work stations and workers by navigating through flexible routes. On the other hand, the self-driving forklifts segment is expected to grow at a substantial rate owing to their increasing demand in environments where repetitive load-handling operations are needed to be performed.

Lithium-ion battery segment is estimated to expand at a fast CAGR

Based on the battery types, the market is divided into nickel-based battery, lead battery, lithium-ion battery, and others. The lead battery segment led the market in 2019 owing to the cost-effectiveness of these batteries as they provide long life service, better reversibility, and stable voltage.

However, the lithium-ion batteries segment is estimated to expand at a fast CAGR attributed to advantages associated with these batteries including excellent temperature performance, high power charge, high energy density, and long life cycle.

Autonomous Mobile Robots Market Battery Type

Manufacturing segment is expected to exhibit a considerable growth

On the basis of end-users, the autonomous mobile robots market is bifurcated into wholesale & distribution and manufacturing. The wholesale & distribution segment is further divided into retail chains/conveyance stores, e-commerce, and others. And the manufacturing segment is further divided into electronics, automotive, chemical, aerospace, defense, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, plastic, and others.

The manufacturing segment dominated the market in 2019 owing to the huge adoption of autonomous mobile robots in the automotive sub-segment. The manufacturing segment is expected to exhibit a considerable growth attributed to massive production facilities related to aerospace and defense sub-segments.

Asia Pacific market is anticipated to exhibit a fast growth

In terms of regions, the market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa.

Europe held a key share of the market in terms of revenue in 2019 owing to the huge demand for equipment for material handling in the manufacturing industry. The ongoing automation process taking place in other verticals of the industry is expected to drive the further market growth. However, the market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to exhibit a fast growth attributed to the rising e-commerce industries in the region.
