Type Segment Analysis

Sidewalk robots segment in the autonomous delivery robots market is predicted to garner a share of 55.6% by the end of 2035. The growth in the segment is highly subject to dense urban environments, enabling last-mile delivery with lower operational costs and easier regulatory acceptance. In October 2024, Uber Technologies, with Avride, reported that they entered a multi-year strategic partnership to integrate Avride's delivery robots and, subsequently, autonomous vehicles into the Uber and Uber Eats platforms. It also stated that the initiative will launch initially with sidewalk robots for Uber Eats deliveries in Austin, with plans to expand to Dallas and Jersey City, hence denoting a wider segment scope.

Application Segment Analysis

Food & beverage delivery segment is likely to attain a share of 40.7% in the market during the analyzed timeframe. The heightened demand for quick, contactless, and cost-effective delivery services is the key factor behind the leadership. For instance, in August 2022, Ottonomy Inc. reported that it launched Ottobot 2.0, a fully autonomous delivery robot that is designed for enhanced maneuverability, modularity, and accessibility in last-mile delivery scenarios. Besides, it follows the close of a USD 3.3 million seed funding round, the Santa Monica-based startup aims to scale deployments across various applications.
