Robotic Refueling System Market Size to Reach USD 2,263.2 Million by 2030
Robotic Refueling System Market size in 2021 was USD 65.3 Million, market value set to reach USD 2,263.2 Million by year 2030 at 48.5% CAGR
Robotic Refueling System Market Overview
A Robotic Refueling System (RRS) is a system that uses robotics technology to refuel vehicles or aircraft without the need for human intervention. The RRS consists of a robotic arm mounted on a mobile platform, such as a tracked vehicle. The manipulator is equipped with specialized fuel nozzles that can directly connect to the fuel tanks of the vehicle to be refueled.
RRS have been developed to have autonomous capabilities, allowing them to perform refueling tasks without human input. The main advantage of an RRS is that it can refuel vehicles without the need for a human operator to be physically present, which can improve safety and efficiency. RRS can also be used in hazardous environments as well.
The Robotic Refueling System market size is set to witness excellent growth over the forecast period between 2022 and 2030, driven by the rising demand for autonomous as well as unmanned systems in multiple industries, along with the need to improve efficiency, safety, and the overall efficiency in fuel handling operations.
Robotic Refueling System Market Research Report Highlights and Statistics
