Increasing Demand for Contactless Delivery Solutions Driving Global Delivery Robots Market at 35% CAGR

The Global Delivery Robots Market size was valued at around USD0.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD3 billion by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 35% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. Contactless delivery solutions are becoming more and more necessary, which is driving the global market for delivery robots. Because of the pandemic, which significantly altered consumer preferences toward less human interaction to reduce health risks, the adoption of autonomous delivery technologies was accelerated. Safety and convenience are regarded as the elementary driving factors on account of which 60% of the customers prefer and rely on contactless delivery options.

Additionally, with E-Commerce expansion and its inclusion of last-minute delivery concepts and new advancements in automation, the market for delivery robots is experiencing significant growth worldwide. This mode of delivery is cost-effective as there is less reliance on human labor, reduced fuel consumption, and better delivery routes, and thus makes it conducive for faster delivery to cater to bulk sales of the already growing e-commerce sector. Delivery robots have a promising future in the healthcare sector in addition to traditional retail. The need for timely contactless delivery of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies has led to a rise in adoption. U.S. Robots have been successfully employed by European hospitals to move medications and lab samples, reducing the need for human intervention and the risk of infection. The retail and hospitality industries are also utilizing delivery robots to enhance customer service. To improve operational efficiency and customer satisfaction, hotels and restaurants are using robots to deliver food and provide room service.

Additionally, the increasing use of drones and autonomous ground vehicles is leading to a wider adoption of delivery automation. Deliveries in remote and difficult-to-reach areas are being revolutionized by drones, while AGVs are particularly helpful in controlled environments like buildings. Another big trend is sustainability, with companies focusing on energy-efficient and environmentally friendly robots. Electric delivery robots are reducing carbon emissions and aiding global efforts to combat climate change. Given that environmental sustainability is highly valued by both consumers and businesses, the future growth of the delivery robot market is expected to be significantly influenced by this shift towards green logistics, further states the research report, “Global Delivery Robots Market Analysis, 2025”.
