BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the global automated guided vehicle (AGV) market size at USD 2.63 billion in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, BlueWeave expects the global automated guided vehicle market size to grow at a significant CAGR of 8.79% reaching a value of USD 4.36 billion by 2029. Major growth drivers for the global automated guided vehicle (AGV) marketinclude an increasing pace of modernization and globalization and rising adoption of the latest technology across various sectors. Notably, the global demand for AGVs is on the rise, owing to their attributes, such as flexible route mapping, easy implementation, high precision, and scalability. Also, the market is witnessing rising demand, primarily propelled by industrial automation, which is effectively reducing inventory damages and elevating material handling efficiency within production facilities. Another driving force is the continuous increase in R&D investments and the growing number of production facilities worldwide. For instance, in November 2021, Lödige Industries, a leading provider of equipment for air cargo terminals, initiated a trial project at Swissport’s new air cargo terminal in Frankfurt. In this project, Lödige Industries introduced its inaugural AGV, a 10ft AGV capable of transporting various ULDs, including 15ft containers. This AGV has the capacity to replace manual ULD transport, such as Slave Pallet Movers and other ground handling equipment, with a remarkable load capacity of 6,800 kg. Hence, such aspects are expected to boost the expansion of global automated guided vehicle market during the forecast period. However, high initial investment costs and lack of flexibility and obstacle resistance in automated guided vehicles are anticipated to restrain the overall market growth during the period in analysis.
