Description

Definition and Scope:

A driverless forklift is an intelligent industrial robotic vehicle that operates without human intervention. By integrating various navigation technologies, mapping algorithms, and obstacle avoidance safety systems into traditional forklifts, these machines achieve fully autonomous operation. Driverless forklifts can automatically plan routes and execute material handling and stacking tasks based on pre-set programs and instructions, without requiring manual driving.

As one of the most popular categories in the mobile robotics industry, driverless forklifts are experiencing rapid global growth.Global sales of driverless forklifts increased from 5,700 units in 2019 to 30,700 units in 2023, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 52.34%, indicating a booming market. China has emerged as the leading global market, with its share steadily increasing year by year—reaching over 60% of global sales by 2023. In 2024, sales in China reached 24,500 units, a year-on-year increase of 25.64%. Although driverless forklifts currently account for less than 2% of total forklift sales, with technological advancements and expanding market demand, the potential for intelligent development is substantial.
