Automated Guided Vehicle Market by Type (Unit Load Carrier, Forklift Truck, Tow Vehicle, Pallet Truck, Assembly Line Vehicle), Battery Type (Lead, Nickel, Lithium Ion), Application, Navigation Technology, Industry, & Geography - Global Forecast to 2023

“Automated guided vehicle (AGV) market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.02% from 2018 to 2023”
The AGV market is expected to grow from USD 1.86 billion in 2018 to USD 2.74 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 8.02% from 2018 to 2023. The overall market growth is driven by the factors such as rising demand for automation in material handling across industries, emerging e-commerce industry, growing requirement for workplace safety standards, increasing productivity owing to improved supply chain processes. However, high installation, maintenance, and switching costs and the initial price complexity of AGVs might restrain the growth of the AGV market.

“Laser guidance navigation technology accounted for the largest market size in 2017”
AGVs based on laser guidance navigation technology accounted for the largest market size in 2017. Laser guidance is the most flexible system for vehicle movement and offers accurate navigation. It has reflectors mounted on walls, along with the vehicle’s route. A rotating laser scanner mounted on the vehicle sends laser beams and detects its reflections, gathering information on distance and angle, which gets stored in the vehicle memory. The AGV can analyze its position based on this information.

“AGV market in APAC to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period”
The AGV market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. APAC registered the highest CAGR owing to the fast-growing e-commerce industry, booming manufacturing sector, and increasing installations of AGVs by emerging economies such as China and India. Moreover, governments in APAC countries are increasingly emphasizing on establishing safety and security standards on production floors, which can be best achieved by the implementation of AGVs. In countries such as China and Japan, the AGV market is witnessing rapid growth owing to increasing investments by manufacturers and suppliers in AGVstowward the deployment of AGVs at warehouses and distribution centers.
