Description

Report Overview

A material handling automated guided vehicle refers to an unmanned automated vehicle that incorporates artificial intelligence, robotics and machine learning into the system, has automatic guidance equipment such as magnetic strips, tracks or lasers, and is equipped with safety protection and various auxiliary mechanisms. In an industrial smart environment, usually multiple AGVs powered by batteries and control computers (console), navigation equipment, charging equipment and peripheral ancillary equipment that drive along the planned path form an AGV system. The main working principle is that the control computer Under the monitoring and task scheduling of the AGV, the AGV can accurately follow the specified path and complete a series of tasks after reaching the designated position of the task. The market is expected to exhibit significant growth rate in the future owing to increasing demand for contactless and efficient logistics infrastructure. The adoption of AGVs has increased significantly in recent years as they are recognized as reliable material handling solutions, thereby increasing the production capacity of the industry. These material handling solutions are used to reduce physical damage to cargo (often caused by human operators) and increase operational efficiency. Automatic guided vehicles are used in almost all industries such as logistics, automobiles, food and beverage, and manufacturing. Rising demand for automation and automated guided vehicles across industries, increased safety, accuracy, and productivity are driving the growth of the automated guided vehicles market. In addition, decreasing labor costs for organizations is also contributing to the growth of the market. However, high initial investment cost and lack of flexibility hamper the growth of the automated guided vehicle market. Furthermore, the incorporation of Industry 4.0 is expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the players in the automated guided vehicle market.

The global Material Handling Automated Guided Vehicle market size was estimated at USD 4794.0 million in 2025 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.50% during the forecast period.
