Automated Guided Vehicle Market Analysis, Size, Growth, Share & Forecast to 2025 | Grand View Research Inc.
“Automated Guided Vehicle Market Size Worth $7.28 Billion By 2025�
The global automated guided vehicle market size is expected to reach USD 7.28 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 15.8% over the forecast period. Automated guided vehicles are transforming the way materials can be moved within manufacturing and distribution facilities. In a production environment where several operations are carried out simultaneously, these vehicles can ensure predictable and reliable transfer of raw materials as well as manufactured products from one point to another within the facility, thereby eliminating any potential disruption in production. These vehicles can operate safely around structures, machinery, and employees, as they are equipped with accessories, such as camera vision and LiDAR sensors. These can help in detecting junctions, identifying floor signs, and avoiding collisions with obstacles. Manufacturing plants and warehouses are increasingly deploying material handling equipment for various activities, such as locating stock, picking orders, and moving products and raw materials. Transportation and logistics firms are particularly under pressure to boost the efficiency of their operations in line with growing demand for their services. They are hence heavily investing in such equipment.
Increasing demand for material handling equipment is expected to boost the industry growth over the forecast period. The AGV market is witnessing a progressive switch from lead-acid batteries to lithiumion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries offer several advantages over lead-acid variants. They tend to be lighter and compact. Moreover, they can charge faster, offer longer runtimes, and support more charge cycles. Hence, they are considered to be ideal for AGVs, as they need not be charged frequently during operating shifts or in 24x7 operating environments. Automated guided vehicles running on lithium-ion batteries can also offer higher round-trip efficiencies.
