Global Automated Guided Vehicle (Indoor-Outdoor) Market Analysis and Forecast, 2020-2025 - Digitalization Push of the COVID-19 Pandemic Crisis Acting as an Opportunity

DUBLIN, March 25, 2021 -- The "Automated Guided Vehicle Market - A Global and Regional Analysis: Focus on AGV Types (Indoor-Outdoor), Applications, End-Use Industries, Vehicle Type, and Navigation Technologies - Analysis and Forecast, 2020-2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global automated guided vehicle market accounted for 138,740 units in terms of volume in 2019 and is expected to reach 272,717 units by 2025. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 13.32% during the forecast period 2020-2025. The Europe region is expected to grow at a significant growth rate of 14.97% during the forecast period 2020-2025.

Due to rapid industrial developments in robotics and automation, the manufacturing sector has seen the increased adoption of robotics engineering and technology into its production process for quite some time. One such growing sector is that of autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs), which are entirely automated transport systems that function with unmanned vehicles. Automated guided vehicles deliver a wide range of benefits, such as reduced running costs, improved workforce protection, and a decrease in production time. The AGV-enabled automation of industrial facilities also helps meet requirements related to material handling capability, reduce the risk of human error, ensure high output volumes, and improve accuracy and repeatability.

The market research study caters to a comprehensive perspective of the different types of vehicles and applications of the automated guided vehicles (AGV) market. The report further analyzes its impact on other end-user industries by providing critical insights into the direction of its future expansion.

The study dwells into various navigation types, such as traditional guidance, laser guidance, hybrid guidance, natural navigation, and another navigation type for AGVs of different end-user industries. The study is further segmented on the basis of application (by end-use industry) and divided into logistics and warehouse, automotive, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals, among others.
