Industry Findings: The logistics diversification underway in Oman—driven by port expansion and new industrial zones—has pushed operators to evaluate AMRs and inspection systems that bring precision to large, dispersed environments. Facilities around Sohar and Duqm increasingly test autonomous movers to reduce manual traversal across wide storage areas. Vendors offering rugged hardware, strong remote diagnostics, and solutions optimized for hot-climate operations gain early traction as Omani buyers prioritise durability and predictable lifecycle costs.
Industry Progression: Infrastructure expansion and port-led logistics modernization are making durable, climate-tolerant robotics a procurement priority: in July 2025 that Omani logistics hubs around Duqm and Sohar has actively trialled AMRs and automation solutions as part of broader supply-chain upgrades, which means buyers increasingly favour vendors offering ruggedised platforms, remote diagnostics and integration with port-management systems—accelerating follow-on rollouts and raising barriers for vendors without hot-climate, long-range service capabilities.
Industry Players: Among the many providers in this industry, a few include Vanderlande (systems integrator), Honeywell Oman, Blue White Robotics, PortTech Automation, Duqm Logistics Integrators, Robotic Solutions Oman, and Oman Airports Company tech arm etc. As Oman upgrades port and airport infrastructure, integrators are embedding robotic sortation and inspection into new terminals; recent baggage-system modernisations and logistics-park automation projects in Muscat and Duqm (2023–2024) illustrate how automation is being specified during build phases. That encourages operators to favour vendors offering turnkey integration, lifecycle service, and ruggedised hardware tailored for port logistics and harsh coastal climates.
