Terrain Robot Market Research, 2030
The global terrain robot market size was valued at $0.43 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $1.43 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 14.1% from 2021 to 2030.
A terrain robot is a lightweight mobile robot designed and developed to cater to the strategic requirements of various industries. The objective of the terrain robot is to autonomously explore within an obscure climate and recognize objects of interest. Its primary applications include general security & reconnaissance, detection & defusal of landmines, recognition of bombs & explosives, putting out fires, dealing with hazardous materials, and supporting post-calamity rescue missions. The robot comprises a multi-agent-based client-server system architecture using asynchronous data communication and an inexpensive and specially designed infrared rangefinder for obstacle detection. The robot can be manually operated, or its trajectory can be pre-programmed or operated from an online command console.
The growth of the global terrain robot market share is driven by a rise in economies and the development of automation universally. Terrain robots are going through continuous improvement to address the issues of cutting-edge innovation from patrols for managing possible explosives, especially in military matters. In addition, manufacturers are leveraging new technologies such as Zigbee, Radiofrequency, and Digital Terrain Mapping (DTM) to develop highly advanced robots with sensors and guidance technology for easy operations. For instance, in February 2018, Guardbot launched a security robot with a whole load of sensors, including GPS, two cameras, and sound sensors, that is capable of maneuvering all types of terrains and swimming in the water as well. Leading market players face challenges and impediments to meet new needs from different businesses in developing terrain robots, which may obstruct the market development.
Automation of the mining & construction industries is the prime reason that drives the growth of the terrain robot industry during the forecast period. Further, the surge in demand for military & defense applications accelerates the terrain robot market growth rapidly. Moreover, improvement in machine vision systems is opportunistic for the market growth. Considering these factors, the terrain robot market revenue is estimated to experience notable growth in the future.
Some of the other drivers for the terrain robot market growth are an increase in investments in R&D of robotics technology and a dearth of skilled labor. An increase in the trend of precision agriculture is anticipated to offer a lucrative opportunity for the growth of the terrain robot market. However, technical challenges in designing robots act as a major restraint on the market.
The global terrain robot industry has been significantly hampered by the COVID-19 outbreak. Market players faced a significant impact on procuring raw materials, wherein time and shipping costs were major concerns. Furthermore, the mining and construction industries temporarily halted their functioning, owing to a shortage of workforce. Regardless, it created lucrative opportunities for the terrain robots market by the end of 2020. Subsequently, the terrain robot market is projected to grow rapidly post-pandemic.
