Drivers, restraints, and opportunities
Growth in demand for automation and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in various industries, decrease in labor costs in various organization, and rise in safety, accuracy, and productivity drive the growth of the global automated guided vehicle market. However, dearth of flexibility of automated guided vehicles and high cost of initial investments hinder the market growth. On the other hand, incorporation of the industry 4.0 creates new opportunities in the coming years.
COVID-19 Scenario
- The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic led to unavailability of workforce. In addition, the industry witnessed disruptions in the manufacturing operations and supply chain management. This has significantly impacted the automated guided vehicle market.
- However, as the trend of contactless and effective logistics infrastructure is increasing, the market is anticipated to exhibit remarkable growth rate in the future.

The two wheels segment to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period
Based on type, the two wheels segment contributed to the largest market share in 2019, accounting for around one-fourth of the global automated guided vehicle market, and is expected to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. Two wheels vehicles are capable of pulling multitude of wheeled and non-powered trailer types with capacities ranging from roughly 2,000 pounds and more and are considered as the most economical solution as they can pull multiple loads in single trip itself. This factor drives the growth of the segment. However, the assembly line vehicles segment is expected to witness the largest CAGR of 19.5% from 2020 to 2027. AGVs in assembly line include transportation of the final product from the production lines to warehouse and serve raw materials, kits, work in progress materials to the product line, which in turn makes it the fastest growing segment.
The laser guidance segment to maintain its dominant share in terms of revenue by 2027
Based on navigation technology, the laser guidance segment held around one-third of the global automated guided vehicle market in 2019, and is projected to maintain its dominant share in terms of revenue by 2027. This is due to AGVs with laser guided navigation are easy and fast to and provide accurate positioning owing to which a higher vehicle speed is achieved. However, the inductive guidance segment is estimated to witness at the fastest CAGR of 19.2% from 2020 to 2027. Use of inductive guidance technology provides higher accuracy as well as efficiency is achieved as electric wires are not exposed to external environment and are safe from snow, dirt, and more, which in turn drives the growth of the segment.
