AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) is an automated
guided vehicle, which is mainly used for automatic logistics handling and
transportation. It transports items to designated locations through special
landmark navigation. Common guidance methods include magnetic strip guidance
and laser guidance. With the development of technology, it has been
incorporated into the mobile robot industry. With the continuous development of
the global economy, the trend of automated equipment replacing human labor
continues to advance, and the global market demand for AGV products is growing.
The AGV industry chain can be divided into three
links: upstream core components (including servo systems, sensors, intelligent
SoCs, control MCUs, reducers, housings/structural parts, etc.), midstream body
manufacturing (AGV mobile robot manufacturers), and downstream system
integration and application (such as intelligent logistics system integration,
which can be applied to automobiles, 3C, express e-commerce and other
industries). At present, body manufacturers can also provide some system
solution designs, and some downstream integrators also have the ability to
design and produce AGV carts. Body manufacturers generally do not penetrate
into upstream core components.
Note: Mobile robots in
this report include AGV and AMR. AMR--Autonomous Mobile Robot, that is,
autonomous mobile robots. AMR is similar to AGV, but it does not require
external infrastructure such as magnetic strips, rails, and QR codes.
According to LookWhole Insight, the global Automated Guided Vehicle market is projected to reach USD 4.71 Billion in 2024. It is expected to grow to USD 10.03 Billion by 2033, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.75% during the forecast period (2025–2033).
Global Automated Guided Vehicle Market: Competitive Landscape
According to LookWhole Insight, global AGV competition landscape is undergoing a dual transformation of "technology localization" and "regional rebalancing": Europe and North America are sticking to the high-end market, while China is accelerating the replacement of foreign capital share and going to Southeast Asia with its policy and industrial chain advantages. The market is still a competitive market, and the industry concentration is increasing year by year. For example, in 2024, the concentration of China's mobile robot industry CR5 will exceed 50%. The Matthew effect is further evident, and the gap between manufacturers is gradually widening. As market competition intensifies, technological innovation and product differentiation will become the key to corporate competition.
