Report Overview

The global robotaxi market is gaining significant traction owing to the increasing investment by automobile manufacturers in the development of robotaxi along with rising demand for cutting down mobility costs in the commercial goods transportation industry.

Global Robotaxi Market- Industry Trends & Forecast Report 2028

The global robotaxi market was worth USD 0.5 billion in 2021 and is further projected to reach USD 20.3 billion by the year 2028, growing at a whopping CAGR of 69.4% during the forecast period (2021-2028). Due to the increasing investment by automotive manufacturers in the development of robotaxi and the increasing demand to cut down mobility costs for commercial goods transportation, the market is gaining significant traction. Furthermore, growing concerns surrounding road safety, along with surging demand for energy-efficient vehicles, are anticipated to propel the growth of the global robotaxi market during the forecast period.

Global Robotaxi Market

Robotaxi Market- Overview

A robotaxi is a self-driving taxi, mainly designed for commercial use for a ridesharing company. Robotaxi eliminates the cost of operating a vehicle and popularizes Transportation as a Service (TaaS) in the market. Moreover, robotaxis function as a taxi in an e-hailing service, and passengers can request one using smartphone applications. Waymo, the Google self-driving car project, was the first company to offer robotaxi services to the public.

Robotaxi Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Increasing Commercial Application of Robotaxis

Robotaxis for car rental applications is becoming increasingly common on roads. Local governments are increasingly permitting the use of autonomous vehicles and are approving the policies. For instance, the California Public Utilities Commission has recently approved two new programs that permit the companies to provide and charge for shared rides in autonomous vehicles. China has also approved autonomous taxis for commercial use in Beijing.

Robotaxi Launches are on the Rise

The robotaxi market has great potential, which is attracting automobile manufacturers. More and more manufacturers are launching robotaxis in order to compete in the market and become market leaders. For instance, Hyundai and Motional, an autonomous vehicle developer, recently unveiled the IONIQ 5-based robotaxi, an SAE Level 4 vehicle. Likewise, Zoox, an American autonomous vehicle startup, has also developed the electric robotaxi, a multidirectional four-person vehicle. These types of launches are anticipated to boost the market growth during the forecast period.

Restraints

High Risks of Hacking in Autonomous Vehicles

Despite a lot of attention on preventing potential hacking of the robotaxi system, it remains unattended, which raises a lot of concerns for its market growth. A new report from the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the Joint Research Centre (JRC) raises concerns about the IT system used in autonomous vehicles and robotaxis' vulnerability to attacks that could damage their performance. These alleged attacks refer to malicious machine-based learning attacks, such as poisoning and evasion.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Robotaxi Market

The robotaxi market was negatively halted by the sudden COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Countries imposing lockdowns in order to combat viral spread hindered vehicle production in different regions, which directly impacted the robotaxi market. The production, as well as the research and development activities of robotaxis, were temporarily halted during this period, due to which the manufacturers had to incur huge losses. However, the market is anticipated to witness substantial growth in the forecast period owing to the increasing focus towards cutting down carbon emission and the use of non-renewable energy sources post the COVID-19 outbreak.

Global Robotaxi Market - By Vehicle Type

Based on vehicle types, the robotaxi market is segmented into car and van/shuttle. The car segment holds the largest market share due to the increasing application of the robotaxis for car rentals. The manufacturers are focusing on developing self-driving vehicles to cut down the operational costs incurred on human drivers. Companies such as Uber and Baidu are already testing robotaxi rental services in Tier 1 cities. However, the van/shuttle segment is also estimated to witness substantial growth during the forecast period.

Global Robotaxi Market - By Level of Autonomy

Based on the level of autonomy, the robotaxi market is segmented into level 4 and level 5. The level 4 autonomy accounts for the largest share in the market. Most robotaxis in the market as of today are under level 4 of autonomy in which a car cockpit is included so that a human driver can still request control. However, the level 5 autonomy is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period as major OEMs including Tesla and Uber are investing in developing full automation robotaxis.

Global Robotaxi Market - Regional Insights

Geographically, the global robotaxi market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle-East & Africa. The Asia-Pacific region dominates the robotaxi market owing to the development of new and innovative technologies. Emerging economies, such as China, Japan, South Korea, etc., are already the market leaders in the automotive industry. China is emerging as the fastest-growing region in the market with robotaxi already under public trial for rides. North America, on the other hand, is also growing at a high rate due to the high concentration of leading market players, such as Waymo and Tesla.

Global Robotaxi Market- Competitive Landscape

The leading players in the robotaxi market are Waymo LLC, Volvo Group, General Motor Company, Volkswagen AG, Tesla, Ford Motor Company, Nissan Motor Corporation, Daimler AG, Lyft, Inc., Uber Technologies, Cruise LLC, Baidu, AutoX, BMW AG, Toyota Motor Corporation, Denso Corporation, Robert Bosch GmbH, Continental AG, NVIDIA Corporation, and other prominent players.

The robotaxi market is highly competitive and consolidated due to the presence of leading multinational automobile manufacturers, such as Tesla, Toyota, BMW, etc. The companies significantly focus on offering a wide range of different types of electric cars and battery capacity to suit the needs of end-users. They are also investing in research and development activities to bring innovations into their offering. Furthermore, the adoption of competitive strategies such as mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and collaborations, etc., is very prominent in this market.

Global Robotaxi Market- Recent Developments

  • In January 2022, Waymo, autonomous tech developer, and Zeekr, Chinese electric mobility technology, and solutions company announced their partnership to design and engineer an electric robotaxi vehicle as a part of a ride-hailing fleet of Level 4 autonomous vehicles for the US market.

  • In December 2021, SAIC Mobility, a unit of Chinese automotive design and manufacturing company SAIC Motor, announced the commencement of autonomous robotaxi test rides to the public in Shanghai.
