Browse 587 pages of delivery robot market research report collated in 16 chapters. The report includes more than 120 tables and figures each for in-depth insights into the delivery robot marketplace. 

Delivery robots are one of the key segments of robot-as-a-service (RaaS) along with cleaning robots, factory robots, warehouse robots, and security robots. 

Technological advancements resulting inefficient delivery systems in the form of autonomous and remote-operated delivery robots, increasing venture funding in last-mile delivery, and growth of the e-commerce sectors are some major factors boosting the growth of the global delivery robot market. Delivery robots are specially programmed to recognize barriers and take smart decisions based on the Payload. Furthermore, delivery robots are more efficient and faster than humans, favoring the growth of the worldwide delivery robot market. 

Advancements in communication technology such as 5G will offer minimum latency, high bandwidth, and low battery operation for reliable connectivity to the robots. Outdoor robots are increasingly being adopted for new applications due to various advantages such as increased efficacy, streamlined processes, and greater security of products being delivered. The main advantage of using service robots is the reduction in the cost of operation and high ROI. A wide range of applications of indoor delivery robots and outdoor delivery robots across various industry verticals are further attracting significant investment across the globe. For instance, Aethon robots deliver food, banquet supplies, linen, and luggage in hospitality and hotels environments, it can function in several capacities, from nurse assistants to the pharmacy and lab couriers to mobile medical waste garbage cans. Delivery Robot-T2 by Keenon Robotics has 160 liters of capacity, 50 kg of load, atmospheric and square body with enclosed structure and automatic cleaning of the inner cabin, it could achieve zero contact and zero pollution during the dish distribution process and cut off droplets.

However, the high cost of delivery robots is a major factor restraining the growth of the global delivery robot market. Delivery Robots can cost anywhere in the range of US$ 5,000 to US$ 30,000 depending on technological specifications and advancements, which hinders the easy adoption amongst SMEs around the world, which is a huge market opportunity for companies to focus upon. Robot companies require a higher start-up capital vis-à-vis CAPEX-based built-to-order robotic firms which widens the gap for competitors that lack the financial and operational wherewithal to run with this strategy.
