Major robotics infrastructure developments across Europe and Asia, including Siemens’ expansion of a UK-based autonomous mobile robot (AMR) manufacturing capability and Hyundai’s continued development of its MobED robotics platform, are accelerating global industrial automation adoption. These developments align with Next Move Strategy Consulting projections that the Mobile Robot Market will reach USD 14.31 billion by 2030, rising from USD 6.83 billion in 2023.
The market is also witnessing strong volume expansion, with global mobile robot deployments projected to grow from 377,468 units in 2023 to 1,119,842 units by 2030, driven by increased automation in logistics, manufacturing, and warehouse operations.
Siemens has expanded its involvement in a UK-based autonomous mobile robot manufacturing initiative aimed at improving flexibility in industrial robotics production. The facility is designed to support configurable AMR systems for use across logistics, manufacturing, and smart factory environments.
The initiative reflects a broader European trend toward localized robotics production and modular automation systems, enabling faster deployment of mobile robotics across industrial use cases.
According to Next Move Strategy Consulting analysis, such developments indicate a structural shift toward distributed robotics manufacturing ecosystems, where software-defined configurations are increasingly central to deployment efficiency and scalability.
Hyundai continues to develop its MobED (Mobile Eccentric Droid) robotics platform through its Robotics Lab, focusing on compact, adaptive mobility systems designed for logistics, urban mobility, and industrial applications.
The platform is designed to support flexible movement across varied environments, contributing to automation in warehouse operations and last-mile delivery systems.
Industry analysis indicates that Hyundai’s robotics strategy reflects a broader convergence between automotive engineering and autonomous robotics development, particularly in Asia-Pacific manufacturing ecosystems.
The global mobile robot market continues to expand steadily, supported by rising enterprise automation demand and increased deployment of autonomous systems.
Next Move Strategy Consulting estimates the market will grow at a 10.8% CAGR from 2024 to 2030, while unit deployments are expected to expand at a 16.8% CAGR over the same period.

The mobile robotics sector has transitioned from pilot-scale deployments to broader industrial integration, driven by increased automation investments and supply chain optimization initiatives.
Key developments include:
Expansion of configurable AMR manufacturing capabilities in Europe
Increasing integration of robotics within automotive ecosystems in Asia
Rising demand for modular and scalable robotics platforms
Greater emphasis on interoperability between robotics hardware and software systems
According to Next Move Strategy Consulting, the industry is increasingly evolving toward ecosystem-based automation models, where robotics systems function as integrated infrastructure rather than standalone machines.

Accelerate adoption of modular robotics systems for operational flexibility
Strengthen regional manufacturing partnerships to improve supply chain resilience
Prioritize software-defined automation frameworks for faster deployment cycles
Align logistics infrastructure with AMR-driven warehouse automation trends
Monitor convergence between automotive and robotics sectors for innovation opportunities

The expansion of robotics initiatives such as Siemens’ UK-based AMR manufacturing capability and Hyundai’s MobED platform highlights the accelerating transition toward integrated industrial automation systems. With the mobile robot market projected to more than double by 2030, the sector is evolving into a high-growth ecosystem driven by modular design, scalable deployment, and cross-industry convergence.
