The healthcare mobile robots market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.79 billion in 2024 to $5.71 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to an increased healthcare workforce, increased healthcare costs, increased infection control, increased government and institutional support, and increased focus on patient-centered care.
The healthcare mobile robots market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.53 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration with electronic health records, customization and personalization, user training and acceptance, environmental sustainability, and the aging population. Major trends in the forecast period include advanced AI and machine learning integration, interoperability and system integration, telepresence and remote operation, biometric and health monitoring, and robust cybersecurity measures.
The increasing demand for automation is expected to drive the growth of the healthcare mobile robot market in the coming years. Automation involves the use of technology, such as machinery, software, or robotics, to carry out tasks or processes with minimal human intervention. The rise of automation is fueled by technological advancements, the need for greater efficiency and productivity, and efforts to address labor shortages and reduce operational costs. In healthcare, mobile robots are employed to streamline tasks like logistical support and direct patient care, enhancing operational efficiency and improving patient outcomes. For example, in June 2023, the International Federation of Robotics reported that the number of industrial robot installations in Europe reached 72,000 units in 2022, marking a 6% increase from 2021. This growing demand for automation is driving the expansion of the healthcare mobile robot market.
Major companies in the healthcare mobile robot market are focusing on developing solutions with advanced technology, such as robots with omnidirectional driving capabilities, to improve efficiency, enhance safety, and streamline the delivery of medical supplies and equipment in complex and crowded healthcare environments. Robots equipped with omnidirectional driving capabilities facilitate the efficient transportation of medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and equipment within limited spaces. For instance, in March 2022, Oceaneering International, a US-based automation company, launched three new robots, the UniMover D 100, UniMover O 600, and MaxMover CB D 2000. The UniMover D 100 is a small underride vehicle designed for transporting light goods and features on-demand obstacle avoidance, making it ideal for direct deliveries in healthcare settings. The UniMover O 600, with its omnidirectional driving capabilities, excels in maneuverability and is perfect for transporting bulk items such as medical equipment and pharmaceuticals in confined spaces. The MaxMover CB D 2000 replaces conventional forklifts, handling diverse load types with exceptional maneuverability and a sophisticated control system, ensuring safety in healthcare environments.
