and 43 thousand &quot;automated guided vehicles&quot;<\/strong>, with a global presence that will surpass two million mobile robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This data can only be linked to <strong>two factors<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>greater demand for automation and robotics in the most diverse sectors&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>growing awareness of the advantages of mobile robotics even in areas other than the more traditional ones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dinamicita_e_frammentazione_del_mercato\"><\/span>Dynamism and fragmentation of the market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#039;s start with a necessary clarification, before better framing the picture of a market which, as we have anticipated, is dynamic but very fragmented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we talk about mobile robots, <strong>we must distinguish between<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>AGV <\/strong>(Automated Guided Vehicle), a machine that can only operate on a fixed path guided by wire or magnetic markers.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AMR <\/strong>(Autonomous Mobile Robots) equipped with an intelligent navigation system through which it creates maps within its software, recognizes obstacles and can plan movements to avoid them.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AMMR <\/strong>(Autonomous Mobile Manipulation Robot), a more sophisticated form of AMR because it is equipped with an arm for autonomous gripping and picking. Instead of simply carrying items, AMMRs can load and unload them themselves and even place them on designated shelves.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All 3 robotic solutions are currently used on a large scale for<strong>automation of logistics warehouses<\/strong>, especially those of e-commerce, for their exceptional ability to optimize operational flows, making operations such as picking and packaging streamlined and rapid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you remember that fact? <\/strong>266 billion small parcels processed annually by 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is enough to motivate the excitement and dynamism of the reference market which sees a constant &quot;appearance&quot; of new players, characterized by the birth of new startups and the offer of AMR by companies already present in markets similar to that of mobile robotics .&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But why are we talking about <strong>fragmented market<\/strong>?<br>The explanation is once again provided by Interact Analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021 <strong>top 10 mobile robot vendors<\/strong> they only collected the <strong>36% of total revenues<\/strong> of the sector.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An extremely different figure compared to that recorded by the more mature market of <strong>industrial robots<\/strong>, where the top 10 suppliers own a large share of the 73% market. And the same thing goes for the one relating to <strong>collaborative robots<\/strong>, with the top 10 giants holding the 85% on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interpreting the data, it is precisely the continuous emergence of<strong> new competitors<\/strong> which would be preventing the consolidation of the sector. This is a trend already detected last year by Interact Analysis and reconfirmed by the most recent research, in which <strong>consolidation is excluded for at least another 2-3 years<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the multitude of competitors, however, there would also be the great vastness of <strong>types of robots, industries and applications<\/strong> which fit into the context of automation through Mobile Robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not even them <strong>acquisitions<\/strong>, which, according to the data collected by Interact Analysis, follow one another continuously, are having a consolidation or concentration effect on revenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last couple of years, for example, some major AMR suppliers, such as <strong>Fetch Robotics<\/strong> And <strong>ASTI Mobile Robotics<\/strong>, were acquired by other companies that, however, did not already have a portfolio of mobile robots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same applies to cases of acquisitions<strong> among mobile robot companies<\/strong>, which in turn did not have the effect of effectively consolidating the market, since the companies involved represented only a small percentage of the overall revenues of the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interact Analysis ultimately predicts that there will be more acquisitions in the future, especially by <strong>industrial companies eager to take advantage of the growth and high margins of the sector <\/strong>of mobile automation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is expected that these acquisitions will be made by companies that are not currently active in the industry. <strong>Potential buyers<\/strong> they could be retailers, logistics companies or large warehouse automation system integrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it is good or bad remains subjective, or almost so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For retailers and logistics companies, for example, being able to enter a market with<strong>such a vast offer<\/strong> it would mean being able to buy from multiple companies, choosing the <strong>best solution <\/strong>based on your operational needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same goes for the <strong>systems integrators<\/strong>, who could offer their customers technologies from different robot suppliers, with all the attendants and connected. The only limit lies in the ability to make mixed robotic fleets work together, solving the challenges associated with using solutions from multiple suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Londa_lunga_della_crescita_per_le_startup\"><\/span>The long wave of growth for startups<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The market rules are rigid, but in this specific case they have yet to be written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps this is also why the startups that have decided to invest in the design of mobile robotics solutions are doing well <strong>finding space<\/strong> and they do not yet risk being forced under the shadow of the great giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again according to Interact Analysis data, for example, last year many AMR startups that successfully expanded their pilot projects produced <strong>revenues even exceeding 20 million dollars<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An example, to understand the scope of the phenomenon, is that of <strong>Locus Robotics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are talking about a startup, based in Wilmington, Massachusetts, that produces autonomous mobile robots designed to pick items from warehouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, under the guidance of the American investment company Tiger Global, the \u201cLocusBots\u201d of Locus Robotics have raised in a single round well <strong>150 million dollars<\/strong>, bringing the company to value <strong>1 billion dollars<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this sector, Locus Robotics was therefore the first &quot;unicorn&quot; startup, i.e. capable of reducing the billion-dollar value, and this also under the pressure of the large <strong>increase in sales through e-commerce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this isn&#039;t foresight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Locus Robotics robots, so to speak, were purchased last September by <strong>DHL<\/strong>, which approved its entry into the fleet for well <strong>2 thousand units<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"I_trend_per_le_applicazioni_e_i_vantaggi_del_%E2%80%9Ccollaborativo%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Application trends and advantages of \u201ccollaborative\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Interact Analysis report, in 2022, more than half of all global industrial robot sales will come from two main applications: <strong>movement<\/strong> And <strong>welding.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The triggering factor is certainly the <strong>e-commerce boom<\/strong>, which have caused the data on parcels to skyrocket, especially small and medium-sized ones, which need to be moved within logistics warehouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know the data, but <strong>repetita iuvant<\/strong>: 266 billion small parcels processed annually by 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this context the <strong>Collaborative robotics comes in great help<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The application of collaborative robotic arms to mobile robotics solutions, in fact, makes the machines completely <strong>autonomous <\/strong>and able to work in total <strong>safety <\/strong>within spaces in which human operators move simultaneously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobile collaborative robotics, therefore, will ride the market and represent <strong>the most suitable integrated solution <\/strong>for companies that want to invest in such a rapidly expanding mobile automation market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same goes for welding operations, whose &quot;robotic&quot;
