[195 Pages Report] The Logistics Robots Market size was estimated at USD 7.69 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 10.16 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 34.76% to reach USD 62.12 billion by 2030.
Logistics robots refer to automated systems specifically designed to perform various tasks related to storing, retrieving, sorting, and transporting goods within warehouses, distribution centers, and other facilities involved in supply chain operations. These smart machines are equipped with sensors, actuators, and sophisticated software that enable them to navigate autonomously, make decisions in real-time, and handle materials with efficiency and precision. These robots are used for various purposes, including transportation, sorting, loading and unloading of goods, storage organization, and delivery. The exponential rise of online shopping demands more efficient and scalable logistics solutions, fueling the growth of robotic automation. Additionally, difficulties in recruiting and retaining warehouse and logistics staff are driving companies toward automation and robotics. However, the high cost of developing and implementing logistics robots can be a barrier for small and medium-sized enterprises. Additionally, integration of logistics robots with existing systems and adapting robots to diverse work environments can be complex and resource-intensive. However, key players are exploring new technologies such as AI/Ml and data analytics to overcome technical barriers and complications of logistics robots. The development and integration of collaborative robots (cobots) that work alongside humans can expand the market by enhancing safety and efficiency. Furthermore, offering robotics solutions through a service model can reduce the upfront costs for clients and create recurring revenue streams for providers.
Type: Growing preference for home delivery robots due to customer preference for a convenient, contactless supply of products
Co-packing and customization robots are specialized in the assembly and packaging of goods according to specific requirements. They are essential in industries that need value-added services such as kitting, bundling, and customizing packages for retail or direct customers. The demand for these robots is particularly high from consumer goods companies that often change the packaging to match promotional campaigns. Home delivery robots are autonomous vehicles used for last-mile deliveries, directly delivering goods to customers’ doorsteps. These robots are gaining popularity as e-commerce continues to grow, with businesses and consumers increasingly depending on quick and contactless delivery options. Mobile piece-picking robots assist in picking and placing individual items in warehouses. They can navigate through aisles, identify products, and transport them for packing and shipping. They are particularly useful in fulfilling online orders where single items must be selected from a wide array of stock-keeping units (SKUs). Stationary piece-picking robots remain in a fixed location and are used to pick and place individual items, often as part of an assembly line or packaging station. They are frequently used in combination with conveyor belts or other transport systems to sort items as they pass through a facility. These robots are designed to automate the unloading of goods from trailers and containers, a labor-intensive and time-consuming task. With the help of advanced vision systems and gripping technologies, they can handle boxes of various sizes and weights, quickly emptying a container without human intervention.
Application: Advancements to equip outdoor robots with durability and environmental adaptability
Logistics robots designed for indoor applications are tailored to operate within enclosed spaces such as warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities. These robots perform a variety of tasks, including material handling, picking, packing, and sorting. The primary need for indoor logistics robots stems from the demand for increased efficiency, accuracy, and safety in handling materials, as well as the need to optimize warehouse space and reduce operational costs. On the other hand, outdoor logistics robots are used in open environments such as ports, shipyards, and large outdoor storage facilities. These robots are designed to withstand various weather conditions and rougher terrain. The primary needs for outdoor logistics robots are to enhance the coordination of logistics operations across large areas, improve the handling of heavy goods, and reduce the time needed for loading and unloading operations.
