Global Automated Guided Vehicle Market: Key Trends

The increasing demand for automated solutions from a host of industries is primarily driving the automated guided vehicles market. Automated guided vehicles offer a multitude of advantages such as reduction in operational cost, enhanced workforce safety, and decrement in production time. These vehicles extend dynamic design solutions and offer cost advantages that conventional conveyor systems lack. Innovative technologies such as laser and vision are instrumental in creating growth opportunities for the automated guided vehicle market.

Growing implementation of mobile robots across the world and measures to enhance workplace safety and productivity are some other factors leading to the adoption of AGVs. AGVs that are equipped with wireless navigation technologies help eliminate the need of expensive retrofitting, thereby leading to their increased adoption.

Moreover, preference for lithium-ion based batteries in place of conventional batteries and need to reduce dependency on labor for cost and productivity reasons are furthering the adoption of AGVs in industrial operations.

However, factors such as high initial investment for AGVs and high cost involved in switching manual operations to automated solutions is slowing this market's growth.

The emergence of flexible manufacturing system and high demand for intelligent and customized AGVs is expected to present opportunities to the AGV market in the coming years. In addition, the rising demand for frozen food in Asia Pacific that needs efficient handling is also leading to the adoption of AGVs. The rising demand for material handling equipment is also anticipated to have a positive bearing on the market's growth in the future.

Global Automated Guided Vehicle Market: Market Potential

Industrial robotic automation is spreading wings from traditional automotive and electronics industries to food and agriculture to attain new levels of efficiency and workplace safety. The use of automation in the food processing plants lies in eliminating contamination that directly translates into revenue. Moreover, automation saves labor cost issues and medical bills due to repetitive, dangerous, and exhausting jobs.

Industrial robots can easily pick and place food items without risk of introducing bacteria and at a faster rate than human worker. Not only this, advanced vision systems even have the capability to detect external as well as internal defects in food products.

Global Automated Guided Vehicle Market: Regional Outlook

Europe is expected to be the leading regional market for automated guided vehicle over the forecast period. However, Asia Pacific is expected to display the leading growth rate for the same period. The growth of the Asia Pacific market is attributed to the surge in manufacturing and production plants along with expansion of manufacturing plant capacities in countries such as China, Japan, and Australia.
