Mobile robots – continued growth forecast

The mobile robot sector remains a high-growth and attractive industry, although our shipment forecast has been revised downward for this sector due to economic challenges. Tariffs and uncertainty in 2025 are delaying large-scale investments, prompting a shift toward phased rollouts for deployments.

Despite this, the growth of the mobile robot market remains a key driver of increased sales in precision gear products. Sales of precision gear products to the mobile robot sector grew by 24.5 percent in 2025, rising to $169 million. With a forecast average annual growth rate of 20.1 percent, the market is expected to exceed $400 million by 2030, contributing to an 18 percent of increase in total revenue for the precision gear products market from 2025 to 2030.
