U-blox Dominates Robotic Lawnmower Market with High-Precision Positioning Technology

On April 25, 2024, u-blox, a prominent global provider of positioning and wireless communication technologies, announced significant project wins in the robotic lawnmower sector. These projects, expected to generate over USD 100 million in revenue starting from 2024, will employ u-blox's advanced Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology. As a result, u-blox has now partnered with the majority of robotic lawnmower manufacturers, strengthening its position as a leader in high-precision GNSS solutions.

The robotic lawnmower market is set to grow markedly, with projections showing an increase from 2.6 million units in 2024 to a substantial growth rate in following years. U-blox's high-precision GNSS technology will potentially reach a 33% penetration rate in this market by 2030, beneficial for sectors beyond lawnmowing, including logistics and smart cities.

u-blox's technology proves a game-changer by eliminating the need for traditional boundary wires and enabling efficient navigation and mowing patterns, thus reducing time, energy, and operational costs. The company's commitment to innovation in GNSS technology is evident in their push for centimeter-level accuracy, which could revolutionize not only lawnmowers but various IoT-enabled products.
