The Global Autonomous Last Mile Delivery Market was valued at USD 12.2 Bn in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 49.6 Bn by 2027, with a growing CAGR of 22.2% during the forecast period.
Autonomous last mile delivery includes autonomous vehicles to supply the products or services to the consumer’s doorstep with no human intervention in the entire process. It ensures that the product is delivered to the consumer within a stipulated time without hampering the respect and market image of the company.
The growth of the e-commerce industry coupled with the increasing penetration of the internet across the globe drives the global autonomous last mile delivery market during the forecast period. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the e-commerce industry adopted various methods to deliver the product without human intervention such as by providing digital payment options, drones for last mile and others. For instance, according to a secondary source, in 2020, more than 2 bn people purchased goods or services online and e-retail sales surpassed USD 4.2 trillion across the globe.
In addition, technological advancements in drones and unmanned ground delivery vehicles propel the autonomous last mile delivery market growth. The new high-tech unmanned vehicles are equipped with collision avoidance systems made of obstacle detection sensors which include a vision sensor, ultrasonic, infrared, LiDAR, time of flight, and monocular vision that scan the surroundings, while software algorithms and SLAM technology produce the images into 3D maps allowing them to sense and avoid obstacles.
