Medium-duty AGVs to hold a significant share in the North America automated guided vehicle  market

The medium-duty AGV segment is expected to hold a significant share of the North American automated guided vehicle market during the forecast period, supported by its broad suitability across industrial and logistics operations. Medium-duty AGVs are widely used for pallet movement, line feeding, and internal transport, where load requirements fall between those of light carts and heavy industrial vehicles. Their balance of payload capacity, operating speed, and cost makes them attractive for warehouses, manufacturing plants, and distribution centers seeking automation without overengineering. These AGVs fit well into existing layouts and support steady, repeatable workflows across multi-shift operations. As companies prioritize reliable material flow, safety improvements, and scalable automation, medium-duty AGVs continue to see strong adoption across diverse end-use environments.

E-commerce to hold the largest share in the North America automated guided vehicle  market

The e-commerce segment is likely to represent the largest share of the North America automated guided vehicle market during the forecast period, driven by continued growth in online retail volumes and the rapid expansion of fulfillment and sortation facilities. E-commerce players are increasingly adopting AGVs to manage the continuous movement of goods across receiving, storage, picking, consolidation, and outbound shipping zones. These vehicles support high order turnover, thereby reducing congestion on warehouse floors and maintaining service levels during seasonal demand spikes. This allows facilities to operate for more hours with stable performance while improving safety in dense, fast-moving environments. Ongoing investment in large-scale fulfillment centers, regional distribution hubs, and automation-focused logistics strategies continues to reinforce strong adoption across the e-commerce sector.

US to account for the largest share of the North America AGV market

The US is expected to hold the largest share of the North American automated guided vehicle market during the forecast period, supported by the scale and diversity of its industrial and logistics base. The country has a high concentration of manufacturing plants, large distribution centers, and fulfillment facilities that rely on consistent internal material movement. Automotive, e-commerce, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and general manufacturing companies are increasing AGV deployments to handle higher volumes, reduce manual transport, and improve safety in busy environments. AGVs are widely used for pallet movement, line feeding, and dock operations, where repeatability and uptime are critical. Strong customer awareness, established automation suppliers, and experienced system integrators support faster deployment and repeat projects. Continued investment in logistics hubs, factory automation programs, and large-scale fulfillment infrastructure further reinforces the US position as the largest contributor to AGV demand in North America.
