(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Opportunities span hospital logistics, pharmacy delivery and disinfection robots, driven by labor gaps and patient volumes. AI navigation, IoT fleets and cloud monitoring are key trends.Dublin, Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Autonomous Mobile Robots in Hospitals Market Global Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global autonomous mobile robots in hospitals market is experiencing rapid growth as healthcare organizations invest in automation to improve operational efficiency, patient safety and internal logistics. The market is projected to increase from $2.93 billion in 2025 to $3.38 billion in 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.4%.
Historic market growth has been supported by hospital automation initiatives, healthcare workforce shortages, stronger infection prevention and control requirements, advances in robotic navigation and sensing technologies, and continued investment in healthcare infrastructure modernization. Hospitals are increasingly using autonomous mobile robots to manage repetitive transportation and logistics tasks, allowing clinical and operational teams to focus on higher-value responsibilities.
The autonomous mobile robots in hospitals market is forecast to reach $6.04 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 15.6%. Key growth factors include the adoption of artificial intelligence-enabled hospital workflow automation, rising demand for autonomous pharmacy and logistics systems, integration of intelligent robotics with digital healthcare platforms, and investment in connected hospital ecosystems. Healthcare providers are also prioritizing technologies that can improve care delivery, reduce operational delays and strengthen patient safety.
Prominent market trends include the deployment of autonomous robots for medical supply transportation, medication delivery, laboratory sample movement and other internal hospital logistics. AI-driven navigation and obstacle avoidance capabilities are becoming increasingly important as robots operate across complex and crowded healthcare environments. Adoption of Internet of Things-enabled fleet management platforms, cloud-based robotic monitoring systems and hospital workflow optimization solutions is also accelerating.
Rising patient volumes are expected to remain a significant driver of market expansion. Aging populations and increasing demand for complex medical care are placing greater pressure on hospital infrastructure and staff. Autonomous mobile robots can streamline the movement of medications, meals, medical supplies and laboratory materials, helping hospitals reduce waiting times, minimize delivery errors and maintain consistent service levels.
In September 2024, NHS England reported that accident and emergency departments recorded 26.3 million attendances during 2023–24, an increase of 3.8% compared with 2022–23. This growth illustrates the operational challenges facing healthcare facilities and highlights the need for automated systems capable of supporting higher patient throughput.
Innovation in self-driving hospital delivery robots is strengthening the market outlook. In June 2024, Richtech Robotics Inc. introduced Medbot, an autonomous hospital delivery robot designed to transport medicines, medical supplies and laboratory samples across multiple departments. The solution is intended to reduce dependence on manual deliveries, limit delays and support contactless logistics in sensitive healthcare settings. Such systems can also contribute to infection control by reducing unnecessary person-to-person contact during routine transportation tasks.
Strategic acquisitions are expanding the application of autonomous robotics in healthcare. In December 2024, Symbotic Inc. acquired OhmniLabs for an undisclosed amount. The transaction is expected to help Symbotic extend its artificial intelligence-driven robotics capabilities beyond supply chain automation and into hospitals and clinical environments. OhmniLabs develops autonomous mobile robot technologies for healthcare facilities.
