The robotic picking market is forecast to nearly triple from $1.7 billion in 2025 to $4.6 billion by 2030, driven by 22% average annual growth as proven deployments increase customer confidence and AI-powered solutions become more integrated.
- Global robotic picking revenue grew 28% year-on-year from $1.4 billion in 2024 to $1.7 billion in 2025
- Market projected to reach $4.6 billion by 2030 with an average annual growth rate of just under 22%
- Bin-picking solutions are fastest-growing segment, expanding from $125 million in 2025 to $577 million by 2030 (36% annual growth)
- Robotic palletizing and depalletizing currently dominate with 83% market share, declining to 58% by 2030
- Robot OEMs and system integrators increasingly developing in-house AI software capabilities to deliver fully integrated robotic picking systems
Robotic picking saw strong growth in 2025, with global revenue increasing from $1.4 billion in 2024 to $1.7 billion in 2025, representing a 28% year-on-year increase, according to Interact Analysis.
Following a period of slower growth driven by fewer greenfield developments and longer sales cycles, the latest research suggests that the industry is now forecast to reach $4.6 billion by 2030, representing an average annual growth rate of just under 22%. This is driven in the short term by the increasing visibility of proven deployments and large customer orders, strengthening customer confidence in the stability of the technology.
“From a value chain perspective, we observe several emerging trends. First, robot OEMs are increasingly strengthening their in-house AI picking software capabilities. Over the long term, they are likely to move beyond supplying robot hardware and offer end customers fully integrated robotic picking systems directly. Second, warehouse automation system integrators are also expanding their capabilities in AI-powered robotic picking, either through strategic partnerships with AI software providers or through organic development,” says Irene Zhang, senior analyst at Interact Analysis. “As software increasingly becomes a key differentiator, system integrators are seeking to build stronger in-house expertise to deliver more intelligent and integrated automation solutions.”

Key takeaways:
· Robotic palletizing and depalletizing remain the largest opportunities throughout the forecast period, and together made up the largest share of the market in 2025, with both segments accounting for a combined market share of approximately 83%. However, this will fall to approximately 58% by 2030, as growth is outpaced by other segments, particularly bin-picking and robotic trailer unloading.
· Long-term expansion in this segment is primarily driven by the growth of more integrated bin-picking solutions. The workflow generated $125 million in sales in 2025, and is projected to rise to $577 million by 2030, representing an average annual growth rate of approximately 36%.
· The strong growth rate for bin-picking solutions appears to be linked to the increasing availability of tightly integrated solutions that simplify deployment, improve confidence and reduce uncertainty for customers considering robotic picking solutions.
· Both robotic and warehouse automation OEMs are demonstrating a growing interest in expanding into perception and action software. Warehouse automation system providers are increasingly seeking to integrate robotic picking natively into their existing solutions.
