The Global Indoor Delivery Robots Market is anticipated to witness a major jump in its revenue from US$ 16.63 Mn in 2021 to US$ 253.76 Mn by 2030. The market is registering a CAGR of 24% over the forecast period 2022-2030. In terms of volume, the market is registering a CAGR of 22.5% over the projection period. An indoor delivery robot is an autonomous robot that provides delivery services. It is a substitute for a delivery person. Indoor delivery robots offer various advantages over the traditional method of delivery including cost efficiency, faster services to the customers, and accuracy of delivery, among others. Food delivery, parcel delivery, medical delivery, postal delivery, and search & rescue are the various applications of indoor delivery robots. 

The market is majorly driven by factors such as advancements in technologies such as AI and machine learning, increasing labor costs, and increasing adoption of robots for domestic purposes (assisting in retail shops, delivering room service, and others). Rising digitalization, automation, and robotics with the use of AI, cloud technology, and big data analytics in the delivery processes with the integration of Industry 4.0 are fostering the growth of the indoor delivery robots market. Furthermore, indoor delivery 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 key advantage of using delivery robots is a reduction in the cost of operation and a high return on investment. Moreover, as the labor cost is increasing across the globe, indoor delivery robots are a significant alternative to humans. In addition, robots are significant to perform dangerous and arduous tasks. Also, the increasing adoption of robots for domestic purposes is further propelling the market growth. In 2014, a room service robot named Relay was introduced by a robotics startup company, Savioke. When hotel staff received an order from a guest, the staff would put items inside Relay and the robot would deliver items to the guest room. Further, shifting customer preferences towards automated delivery are presenting a lucrative opportunity for market expansion over the forecast period. However, the high cost of indoor delivery robots may hinder the market growth over the projection period.
