The tow vehicle segment captured a sizeable share in the AGV market, accounting for a revenue share of over 41% in 2021, mainly due to the growing requirements for bulk movement of goods into and out of warehouse areas. The AGV market is classified into tow vehicle, parallel truck, unit load carrier, hybrid vehicles, forklift truck, and others, based on vehicle types. AGVs make use of camera-based vision together with Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors and computer systems, to create a 3D image of the operational area that helps in the precise manoeuvring of production areas and warehouses.įigure 2: Global Automated Guided Vehicle Market by Navigation in 2021 However, it is anticipated to witness a steady growth during the forecast period, mainly due to their growing deployment in the warehouses and distribution centres. The use of vision guidance technology is currently limited as it happens to be sensitive to light. The technology conceptualizes the area and stores the guide path in the vehicle’s memory which can be easily amended and expanded whenever required. The laser guidance segment dominated the market with a revenue share of over 36% in 2021. The AGV market is classified into laser guidance, magnetic guidance, inductive guidance, vision guidance, natural navigation, and others, based on navigation.
