SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Global Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) Market is predicted to grow impressively in the forecast period owing to the rise in demand for material handling equipment and speedy adoption of automation in various industries. Automated guided vehicles are programmed mobile vehicles are primarily used in industries to transport materials around a manufacturing facility. These transport systems are capably functioning without driver's operation. They increase efficiency decrease the damage caused to goods by reducing overheads and by restricting number of employees deployed to the duty. The vehicles consist of peripheral and on-site components along with stationary control system. The automated guided vehicles are designed individually according to specific environmental conditions they will be used. AGVs are widely used in areas of production, warehousing, logistics, and distribution since they ensure profitability through accurate and efficient operations.

The automated guided vehicle (AGV) market is driven by several advantages of the sophisticated AGV. The reduction of labor force in different processes has drastically decreased the operational costs. Moreover, it has resulted in lesser on-site mishaps and assured workforce safety. Developments of such equipment due to usage of lithium batteries instead of traditional ones have also stimulated the automated guided vehicle (AGV) market to impressive levels. Apart from these factors, automated guided vehicle (AGV) market is also being driven due to numerous initiatives undertaken by public and private bodies for ensuring working environment of human resources working around and with heavy equipment that can pose risk to health. Even though automated guided vehicle (AGV) market is going through positive growth prospects. It could face obstruction because of few hurdles like lengthy development cycles for manufacturing of automated guided vehicles. Along with these, the scarcity of floor space for smaller manufacturing firms, and the need for skilled workforce are other factors restraining the growth of automated guided vehicle (AGV) market. Besides, automated guided vehicle (AGV) market may also face heavy cost of equipment. However, the increasing number of investments in research & development activities for automated guided vehicles is projected to fuel the automated guided vehicle (AGV) market in near future.

Manufacturing firms investing in AGV technology are likely to face one-time cost while purchasing new machinery is ultimately avoided by employing human resources. But, in the long run, the operating and maintenance cost would be comparatively cheaper than payment of workers especially for the industries in developed nations. The developing countries are expected to retain low wages in the coming years as well. Hence, even though these countries are unlikely to invest in expensive technologies, their competitive advantage is predicted to impact less impressively on the automated guided vehicle (AGV) market.
