Key Market Dynamics in Automated Guided Vehicle Market
Growing demand for automation in material-handling across industries
The overall need for high efficiency in automotive, healthcare, e-commerce, and food & beverages industries is increasing the demands for automation. The AGV-enabled automation of industrial facilities can help meet the requirements related to material handling capacity, along with reducing production time, lessening the chances of human errors, enhancing safety, ensuring high production volumes, and increasing accuracy and repeatability.
The use of AGVs enables just-in-time (JIT) delivery of raw material, computerized control of received assembled parts, and tracking of shipped articles. AGV help store, distribute, and transport material without human intervention, thereby ruling out the possibilities of injuries to workers and damage to products. Furthermore, the deployment of AGV enables companies in various industries to apply new technologies that would deliver immediate value and long-term returns. This trend is driving the need for information-enabled systems such as AGVs that can help industries to manage plant assets and make better operational decisions.
High installation, maintenance, and switching costs
Huge capital expenditure is required to install and set up AGVs. The high cost can discourage manufacturing companies from choosing high-end AGVs. Small enterprises cannot afford automated systems and hence opt for traditional/manual handling forklift trucks. The cost of maintaining AGVs, which varies according to the age, type, location, number of shifts per day, and condition of the equipment, also acts as a barrier for the growth of this market. For instance, AGVs used in the manufacturing, chemicals, and construction industries have a high maintenance cost. Moreover, it is difficult for companies to invest in automation solutions due to high capital spending and long payback period.
The costs associated with the overall setup of AGV systems is high as these vehicles are programmed, and require navigation and communication systems to interact with other material handling equipment. The average payback period for AGVs usually ranges from 3 to 5 years. Therefore, it is difficult for many companies to invest in AGVs due to high capital spending and a long payback period. Furthermore, warehouse operators need to change warehouse layouts to support AGV systems. While designing new layouts, companies need to focus on key aspects such as worker safety, space utilization, and easy accessibility to items. Companies spend a considerable amount on infrastructure development. Thus, the impact of the high setup cost on the growth of the AGV market is considered to be high. Determination of the exact number of AGVs required is another important consideration for deploying AGVs across an industrial facility. As material handling requirement in some industries fluctuates according to the market demand or their production cycle, companies cannot precisely predict the number of AGVs required in their facilities. Thus, high capital investment acts as a key restraint for the growth of the Automated Guided Vehicle Market.
Automated Guided Vehicle Market for other types of AGVs to grow at highest CAGR from 2019 to 2024
The adoption rate of other types of AGVshybrid AGVs and customized AGVsis currently high. Manufacturers are designing hybrid and customized AGVs to cater to the varying material-handling requirements of different industries. Furthermore, they aid in moving and handling almost all types of industrial load, from small parts to heavy pallets. These are used in material transportation throughout plants/warehouses. Customized and hybrid AGVs are being manufactured to cater to the varied needs of end users, which is likely to lead the Automated Guided Vehicle Market for this segment to grow at a high rate during the forecast period.
AGV market for retail to exhibit high growth during forecast period
The retail industry is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing globalization, and the emergence of online retailing and bulk retailing have escalated the demand for AGVs in the retail industry. With the growing pressure on retail companies to meet the ever-increasing demand of its customers, the companies are focusing on operating more efficiently. The implementation of AGVs in warehouses and stores helps them achieve this, which is expected to contribute to the highest expected CAGR of the market for retail during the forecast period.
Automated guided vehicle market in APAC to grow at highest CAGR during forecast period
The automated guided vehicle market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. China and Japan are the major contributors to the growth of this market. The rapid growth of automotive, food & beverages, and healthcare industries in emerging economies, such as China, India, and Korea, has contributed to the growth of the Automated Guided Vehicle Market in APAC. Moreover, governments in APAC countries are increasingly emphasizing safety and security on production floors, which can be best achieved by the implementation of AGVs. The AGV market is witnessing rapid growth in countries such as China and Japan owing to increasing investments by manufacturers and suppliers in the installation of these vehicles at warehouses and distribution centres.
