San Francisco, USA, Feb. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Robotaxi Market was valued at US$ 1,560.00 million in 2024 and is poised to grow exponentially over the coming years, driven by the rapid commercialization of autonomous mobility and strong policy support for smart and sustainable transport systems. The industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 78.5% from 2025 to 2032, to reach US$ 158,730.14 million by 2032.

Governments across major economies are actively enabling this transition. For instance, the U.S. Department of Transportation has launched multiple automated vehicle initiatives under its AV TEST and ADS frameworks to accelerate safe deployment, while China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and municipal authorities in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen have issued commercial robotaxi pilot permits to support large-scale testing and paid operations. In addition, several national transport strategies across Europe and Asia are integrating autonomous vehicles into future urban mobility planning to reduce congestion and emissions.

Robotaxis—fully autonomous, on-demand mobility solutions—are emerging as a key pillar of next-generation transportation. By eliminating driver-related costs and enabling round-the-clock fleet utilization, they offer a structurally lower cost per kilometer compared to conventional ride-hailing models. Their electric and shared mobility integration also aligns with government decarbonization targets and net-zero roadmaps. At the same time, advanced driver-assistance and autonomous systems are being promoted by road safety authorities to significantly reduce human-error-related accidents, which currently account for the vast majority of traffic incidents globally.

The strong growth momentum reflects rapid progress in AI-based perception systems, high-definition mapping, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity, and supportive regulatory sandboxes that are allowing controlled commercial deployment. As public-sector investments in smart cities, digital infrastructure, and intelligent transport systems continue to rise, robotaxis are moving from limited pilot projects toward early-stage revenue-generating services, positioning the market as a foundational component of the future urban mobility ecosystem.

MARKET DRIVER:-

Technology Evolution Driving Robotaxi Market Growth

Rapid advancements in AI-driven perception, sensor fusion, high-performance computing, and V2X connectivity are accelerating the commercial deployment of robotaxi fleets. Governments are actively investing in enabling digital and transport infrastructure. In the United States, the Department of Transportation has committed USD 500 million under the SMART Grants Program to deploy advanced mobility and connected vehicle technologies. China has established dozens of national-level autonomous driving pilot zones, where commercial robotaxi services are already permitted in selected areas, supported by large-scale intelligent road infrastructure. Meanwhile, the European Commission, through its Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) program, has allocated over €8 billion for cooperative, connected, and automated transport research and deployment.

At the connectivity level, government telecom data indicates that 5G population coverage has surpassed 80% in the U.S., over 90% in China, and crossed 70% in Europe, enabling the ultra-low latency communication required for real-time autonomous navigation and cloud-based fleet operations. In parallel, global road safety authorities report that more than 90% of traffic accidents are caused by human error, reinforcing regulatory support for higher levels of vehicle automation. These coordinated public investments in AI, digital infrastructure, and intelligent transport systems are directly accelerating the large-scale commercialization of robotaxi services.

MARKET CHALLENGES:-

Regulatory Uncertainty Can Slow Down the Industry Growth

Regulatory uncertainty is a key barrier to the large-scale commercialization of robotaxi services, as most transport laws are still structured around human-driven vehicles. Critical areas such as safety validation standards, driverless operation approvals, liability allocation, insurance frameworks, and remote fleet management rules are still evolving. While several countries have introduced pilot programs and geo-fenced commercial permits, the lack of uniform regulations across regions limits multi-city expansion and increases compliance time and costs for operators.

In addition, the absence of clear legal accountability in the event of accidents—whether it lies with the vehicle manufacturer, software developer, or fleet operator—continues to delay full-scale deployment and investment decisions. Stringent data protection and cybersecurity regulations further require market-specific system modifications, reducing scalability. As a result, faster regulatory harmonization and standardized autonomous vehicle approval pathways are essential for sustained robotaxi market growth.

REGIONAL MARKET OVERVIEW:-

Region	Regulatory & Policy Environment	EV & Charging Ecosystem	Recent Trends
North America	U.S. permits geo-fenced commercial AV operations at the state level; NHTSA exemptions (2022) allow purpose-built driverless vehicles without steering wheels or pedals	190,000+ public EV charging ports in the U.S. (2024, AFDC) enabling high-utilization fleet operations in major cities	Shift from pilot testing to early revenue-generating robotaxi services; increased focus on safety performance data and scalable fleet deployment
Europe	Fragmented multi-country regulatory structure with stringent safety, data protection, and type-approval requirements; gradual alignment under EU automated mobility initiatives	Rapid public charger expansion under national climate targets and AFIR framework supporting EV ecosystem growth	Controlled pilots, cross-border AV testing corridors, and strong emphasis on standardization, cybersecurity, and regulatory harmonization
Asia-Pacific	National and city-level commercial robotaxi permits in leading markets; strong policy integration with smart-city and intelligent transport programs	China leading in EV adoption and public charging deployment with large-scale urban fast-charging networks	Fastest commercialization pace with fully driverless pilot zones, expansion of paid services, and continuous intelligent road infrastructure development
Rest of the World	Early-stage AV regulatory frameworks with limited testing approvals in innovation clusters	Charging infrastructure growing in major urban centers through energy transition and public transport electrifica	Pilot deployments through global technology partnerships; long-term opportunity linked to regulatory development and urban digital mobility projects

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE:-

The global robotaxi competitive landscape is “selectively concentrated” rather than fully consolidated. In practice, real-world on-road testing and early deployment are concentrated among a limited set of entities that hold government permits in key jurisdictions, while the wider ecosystem remains fragmented across OEMs, AV-stack developers, sensor suppliers, and fleet/mobility partners that enable these programs. For example, California DMV’s AV permitting system lists a defined set of authorized AV testing permit holders and publishes annual activity updates—showing that meaningful AV testing mileage is being generated by permit-holding operators under a regulated framework (e.g., >9 million test miles logged in California between Dec 1, 2024, and Nov 30, 2025).

In parallel, federal actions such as NHTSA’s AV exemption/demonstration exemption pathway are shaping which players can legally field purpose-built automated vehicles on public roads- another factor that naturally concentrates commercialization among companies able to meet these regulatory thresholds.
