The global robotaxi market is poised for substantial growth, projected to increase from 617 units in 2021 to 1,445,822 units by 2030, at an impressive CAGR of 136.8%. Several factors contribute to this growth, including the growing demand for ride-hailing services, significant investments in research and development, and governmental initiatives aimed at reducing emissions, promoting infrastructure development, and fostering vehicle electrification.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to emerge as the largest market during the forecast period. This is attributed to the rapid testing of autonomous vehicles, the presence of numerous technology providers and ride-hailing companies, and plans to deploy robotaxi fleets for mass usage, particularly in China. The Asia Pacific region comprises a mix of emerging economies like China and India, as well as developed nations like Japan. The increasing concerns about pollution and traffic congestion, along with the availability of infrastructure and government guidelines supporting robotaxi testing and implementation, have propelled the market in China. Additionally, the growing demand for electric vehicles further fuels the deployment of robotaxis in the region.

Among different levels of autonomy, the level 4 segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Level 4 autonomous robo-taxis offer ease of deployment and operation, making them more feasible for mass usage compared to level 5 autonomous vehicles, which face technological and safety challenges. While level 4 will witness significant growth, advancements in technology are anticipated to drive more vehicles toward level 5 autonomy in countries like the US, Germany, and China.
The car rental segment is estimated to be the largest and fastest-growing market in the robotaxi industry. The demand for broader transportation services and the aim to reduce traffic congestion contribute to the rise of car rentals for robotaxis. Ride-hailing companies and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are planning to introduce autonomous vehicles for car rentals. For example, Tesla aims to convert its existing vehicles into robotaxis, allowing owners to participate in robotaxi commercial operations and generate additional income. Governments worldwide are also taking initiatives to enhance transportation infrastructure and reduce carbon emissions, further driving the car rental segment for robotaxis. Notably, Baidu and AutoX have already deployed robotaxi services accessible through ride-hailing mobile apps in China, indicating the progress in ride-sharing developments.
