Low Speed Automated Delivery Vehicles

Sidewalk Delivery Bots and Robotic Delivery Vehicles: Global Market Analysis and Forecasts 2021-2030

Two major global trends are stimulating the rise of low speed automated delivery vehicles (ADVs). The first is the continued growth of e-commerce, which has resulted in a sharp increase in deliveries, with shorter delivery timeframes for smaller consignments. The second is the surge of on-demand food orders resulting in a proliferation of delivery couriers making large numbers of short and small deliveries. Several global players have identified opportunities for the reduction of delivery operating costs via low speed ADVs, and significant investments have been made to advance this technology.

Low speed ADVs have started to emerge in significant numbers in North America, China, Europe, and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Asia Pacific, with some boasting Level 4 (L4) automated driving capability The COVID pandemic has highlighted the value of ADVs. The increased demand for home deliveries and the need for contactless goods transportation has resulted in low speed ADVs being deployed to deliver medical supplies and other essential items during the peak of the crisis. The increased need for deliveries of parcels and food is expected to continue post-COVID, and low speed ADVs could potentially be a solution to meet this growing demand.

This Guidehouse Insights report analyzes the potential for low speed ADVs and evaluates how the market for these services will likely evolve. This report examines key drivers for future demand, challenges that the market will likely face, and leading players in the market. Global market forecasts through 2030 are included for the number of delivery trips completed by ADVs, distance traveled by the delivery vehicles, annual deployments of low speed ADVs, and revenue generated by these vehicles in delivery services.
