The North America automated guided vehicle market reached a value of D 1.31 Billion in 2024 and expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.80% in the forecast period of 2025-2034 to reach a value of approximately USD 4.00 Billion by 2034.
The progress in sensor technology, machine learning, and robotics has resulted in the creation of advanced and adaptable automated guided vehicles. These automated guided vehicles are now capable of efficiently manoeuvring through intricate surroundings and executing a broader spectrum of tasks. One of the key areas of progress is sensor technology. Automated guided vehicles are now equipped with a wide range of sensors, including cameras, lidar, ultrasonic sensors, and infrared sensors. These sensors provide automated guided vehicles with the ability to perceive their surroundings in great detail, allowing them to navigate through complex and intricate environments with ease.
As per the North America automated guided vehicle market analysis, laser guidance is expected to lead the market demand. This is because laser navigation technology is easy to install and provides accurate positioning guidance to the vehicle. It also doesn't require high maintenance costs and has a swift speed of gauging the facilities and equipment in the surrounding environment.
The magnetic navigation technology is also expected to gain widespread popularity as it is easy to modify and its installation does not hamper the productivity of the facility. It provides highly accurate travel routes to vehicles and is relatively inexpensive as well.
The automotive sector is expected to account for a significant North America automated guided vehicle market share. This is because the stamping, welding, painting, and assembling of automobiles require intelligent logistical and transportation capabilities which can be met by automated guided vehicles. Moreover, the automotive sector operates with a high degree of standardisation to ensure consistency in volume and quality of work, which necessitates the demand for automated guided vehicles.
