Global Robotaxi Market: Growth Factors

The global robotaxi market is expected to grow at a healthy rate. Automation of vehicles, growing necessity to reduce traffic congestion, and increase in demand for extensive transportation services are some of the factors that are impelling the growth of the global market. Robotaxi is fast becoming reality and is about to hit the roads. To safely maneuver complex urban environments they depend on a powerful array of advanced sensing technologies such as multiple LiDARs. The introduction of robotaxis can drastically change the overall transportation dynamic and car ownership owing to benefits such as increased productivity and lower transportation costs. They also entail zero tailpipe emissions and have substantially lower energy consumption. All such factors are equally contributing to the growth of the global robotaxi market. A surge in demand for ride-hailing services, rapid growth in smart cities, increase in electrification of vehicles, and infrastructure development are some of the major aspects that are propelling the growth of the global market. In addition to this, the rise in government initiatives to reduce emission and the growing demand for passenger vehicles are augmenting the growth of the market. Furthermore, massive investment by the largest technology and automotive players for the development of robotaxi to capture a significant share in the market may develop advantageous opportunities for the growth of the global robotaxi market over the forecast period. However, complication in the adoption of robotaxis and the requirement of high cost for R&D are some of the factors that may restrain the growth of the global robotaxi market.

Like many other markets, the global robotaxi market has also been severely impacted due to COVID-19 pandemic conditions. The overall production process of new vehicles was disrupted in the initial phase of the pandemic owing to panic situations and strict lockdowns. This resulted in reduction in sales figures and affected overall market revenue. Further, original equipment manufacturers (OEM) had to delay their production activities till lockdowns were lifted to continue the production process. Due to this manufacturer was forced to adjust production volume. Moreover, the capital-intensive automotive industry was forced to shut down many operations due to a worldwide crisis. These all and many other factors affected the market growth during the pandemic period.
