The global terrain robot market value was US$ 0.41 billion in 2020. The global terrain robot market value is forecast to reach US$ 1.41 billion by 2030, with a growing compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% during the forecast period from 2021-2030. 

Terrain robots are lightweight mobile robots designed to meet the strategic requirements of diverse industries. The terrain robot's goal is to explore an obscure climate on its own and recognize objects of interest. In addition to its primary applications in security and reconnaissance, it can also detect & refuse landmines, identify bombs and explosives, put out fires, regulate hazardous materials, and support post-disaster rescue missions. This robot uses a multi-agent system architecture that uses asynchronous data communication and an infrared rangefinder to detect obstacles. A robot can be controlled manually, as well as pre-programmed or controlled through an online control console.

Factors Influencing Market Growth

• Terrain robots are always improving in order to assist the military in managing explosives in their patrols. Manufacturers are also leveraging new technologies such as Zigbee, Radiofrequency, and Digital Terrain Mapping (DTM) to develop highly advanced robots with sensors and guidance technology to make operations easier. Thus, a rise in economies and the development of automation globally are driving the growth of the global terrain robot market share. 
• The automation of the mining and construction industries is the primary reason for the growth of the terrain robot market during the forecast period. 
• Terrain robots are experiencing rapid growth due to an increase in military & defense applications. In addition, machine vision systems have the potential to grow the market. 
• The design challenges associated with robots may slow down the market growth. 

Impact Analysis of COVID-19

The COVID-19 outbreak has significantly impacted the global terrain robot industry. A significant impact on the raw material market was the procurement of raw materials, wherein time and shipping costs were major concerns. Moreover, the mining and construction industries temporarily ceased operating due to a lack of workers. However, it created lucrative markets for terrain robots during the forecast period. Post pandemic, the terrain robot market is likely to expand rapidly. 

Regional Insights
