Automated Guided Vehicle: Market Segmentation
Based on end use, the automotive segment held a leading share, owing to increased use of automated guided vehicles by auto manufacturers and auto part manufacturers. Adoption of automated guided vehicles enables auto manufacturers to lower production cycle time and help optimize the manufacturing process. In terms of type, the tugger AGVs segment is expected to hold a leading share of the global market during the forecast period.
Tugger automated guided vehicles, or towing vehicles, were one of the first type of AGVs introduced, and they are still highly popular. These AGVs can pull a multitude of trailer types and non-driven carts, which are charged with loads either automatically or manually. Tugger AGVs are highly productive, since they are capable of carrying more load than other type of AGVs. Tugger AGVs are highly efficient and have high load carrying capacity, as compared to that of conventional forklift trucks.
