The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Automated Guided Vehicles Market Report by Type (Tow Vehicles, Unit Load Carriers, Pallet Trucks, Assembly Line Vehicles, Forklift Trucks), Mode of Operation (Indoor, Outdoor), Navigation Technology (Laser Guidance, Magnetic Guidance, Inductive Guidance, Optical Tape Guidance, Vision Guidance, and Others), Application (Transportation, Distribution, Storage, Assembly, Packaging, Waste Handling), Industry (Automotive, Manufacturing, Food and Beverages, Aerospace, Healthcare, Logistics, Retail, and Others), and Region 2024-2032,” finds that the global automated guided vehicles market size reached US$ 4.2 Billion in 2023. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) refer to computer-controlled, wheel-based, self-guided material handling systems or load carriers that move along the floor of the facility without an onboard driver or operator. They help move and carry products autonomously across warehouses, distribution centers, or manufacturing facilities. They are operated by following adjustable guidelines with magnetic tape on the floor, wire guide, installed sensors, range-sensing, magnetic-gyroscopic guide, or laser-guided vehicles (LGV), which assist in optimizing transportation while storing and picking items. They also offer various advantages, including low labor costs and product damage, reduced human errors, minimized utility costs, enhanced productivity, and safety. As a result, AGVs are widely utilized across transportation, automotive, manufacturing, aerospace, food and beverages (F&B), logistics, healthcare, and retail industries.
Global Automated Guided Vehicles Market Trends:
The market is primarily driven by the escalating demand for automated warehouse solutions owing to the expanding e-commerce sectors. In addition, the widespread adoption of AGVs in material handling processes across various industries, including healthcare and automotive, is contributing to the market growth. Moreover, the increasing awareness regarding the safety of workers and the growing inclination toward laser-guided AGVs for better precision and flexibility are providing a thrust to the market growth. Besides this, the significant investments in industrial automation projects and the rising usage of AGVs in the food and beverage (F&B) industry on account of their ability to handle palletized and unit loads of goods and packaging materials in the trailer loading, cross-docking, manufacturing, and warehousing environments represents another major growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by key players and rapid industrialization are anticipated to propel the market growth in the coming years. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach US$ 12.7 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 12.8% during the forecast period (2024-2032).
