Global Driverless Cleaning Boats Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Driverless Cleaning Boats market size is predicted to grow from US$ 356 million in 2025 to US$ 559 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2025 to 2031.

The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.

The driverless cleaning boat is a surface operation robot that integrates intelligent navigation, environmental perception and automatic operation functions. It is designed for garbage salvage and water quality maintenance in urban rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other waters. The boat is equipped with GPS positioning, radar, camera, ultrasonic and other sensors to achieve autonomous path planning, obstacle recognition and avoidance, and combined with an electric propulsion system and garbage collection device, it can efficiently complete the automatic cleaning of floating objects, duckweed, leaves and plastic garbage on the water surface. Unmanned cleaning boats usually adopt a modular design, with the characteristics of lightness, stability, low noise, zero emissions, etc., suitable for long-term continuous operation and minimal interference to the ecological environment.

Market Trends

As an important equipment for smart water affairs and ecological governance, driverless cleaning boats are showing a rapid market development trend. Driven by the "smart city" and "green and low-carbon" policies, local governments, water companies and environmental protection companies have increased their investment to replace traditional manual salvage methods and improve the automation and intelligence level of river and lake cleaning. At the same time, technological progress is also accelerating product performance optimization, such as upgrading autonomous navigation algorithms, enhancing battery life, and improving image recognition accuracy, so that unmanned cleaning boats can adapt to more complex water environments.

Market Disadvantages

The initial procurement cost and system integration costs are high, making it difficult for small and medium-sized water companies to bear the overall deployment cost in the short term; the equipment's battery life, garbage carrying capacity and adaptability to complex environments are still limited, especially in high-flow rivers or areas with dense aquatic plants. Operation is prone to obstruction; some users are not very receptive to emerging technologies, and the threshold for operation and maintenance skills is high, which limits the speed of promotion.

Market Outlook

With the improvement of battery energy density, optimization of intelligent perception systems and enhancement of AI algorithms, its autonomous operation efficiency, task accuracy and environmental adaptability will be significantly improved. At the same time, more cities will incorporate automated water cleaning modules into smart water construction to form a platform-based and systematic ecological governance system. In addition, under the background of carbon neutrality goals, the growing demand for low-emission and low-energy cleaning equipment will also provide policy and financial support for unmanned cleaning ships.
