The Delivery Robots Market was valued at USD 193.08 million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 251.9 million in 2024 and USD 2,148.92 million by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 30.7% during the forecast period 2024–2032. Key players include Boxbot, Ninebot, Kiwibot, Cleveron AS, Nuro, Inc., Robby Technologies, Panasonic Corporation, Piaggio & C. SpA, ST Engineering and Starship Technologies.

The report segments the Delivery Robots Market by load carrying capacity (up to 10 kg, more than 10 kg to 50 kg, and more than 50 kg), number of wheels (3, 4 and 6), end use (food and beverages, retail, healthcare, postal and others) and region.

Navigation and Tracking Capabilities

With advanced sensors and mapping technology, delivery robots can navigate complex routes and avoid obstacles, ensuring accurate and timely deliveries. Robots also help reduce the risk of accidents by operating in designated lanes or pedestrian-only areas, and they provide real-time tracking and delivery updates that enhance the overall customer experience.

In December 2022, Kiwibot launched 25 automated robots at Loyola Marymount University that created virtual campus maps using RTK-GPS and established multiple routes to a drop-off point, modifying the route if delays or obstacles arose. Asia Pacific, the fastest-growing region, is benefiting from logistics advances: with progress in logistics and supply chain management, tracking and monitoring the process from start to finish is easier and more cost-effective.

Online Retail Raises Demand for Faster Fulfilment

With the growth of e-commerce, more people are shopping for groceries online, creating demand for faster and more efficient grocery delivery. Rising internet usage and the expansion of the e-commerce sector have heightened demand for products purchased online, and nearly 2.3 billion people were estimated to buy goods and services online in 2022. Robots can automate the process, reduce costs and improve speed and efficiency.

Food and beverages held the largest end-use share in 2022. Digital ordering is rising at around three times the rate of on-site ordering, and more than 112 million Americans reported using a food delivery service.

University Campuses as Proving Grounds

Campus meal delivery has become a visible use case. In February 2023, robot food delivery was launched at the University of Notre Dame, and in October 2022 Starship Technologies partnered with Grubhub to bring robot delivery to college campuses across the United States. In December 2022, Uber Eats partnered with Cartken to distribute meals through robots, and at Nanyang Technological University a four-wheeled robot named FoodBot distributes lunch and dinner orders.

Healthcare, Retail and Regional Context

Healthcare is one of the five end-use segments covered. In June 2020, hundreds of Pudu Robotics Pudubots offered delivery services in hospitals worldwide during the pandemic, and in August 2020 Invento Robotics of Bengaluru launched a robot for medicine and food delivery. The pandemic's shift toward online shopping and home delivery increased demand for faster options, benefiting market participants.

North America is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period, owing to the presence of manufacturers and technological advancement. The load carrying capacity up to 10 kg segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR, and the 4 wheels segment dominated in 2022.

Competitive Developments in the Delivery Robots Market

In February 2025, Nuro teamed up with Arm to add Automotive Enhanced silicon to its third-generation delivery robot, boosting efficiency and doubling cargo space. In October 2024, Starship Technologies and Bolt launched a partnership in Tallinn offering eco-friendly deliveries through the Bolt Food app to 180,000 users. In October 2022, Rosversity, a Kochi-based startup, established robots to pick up packages from shops and deliver them to doorsteps. The report identifies the limited operating range of ground delivery robots as a challenge.
