North American Industrial Mobile Robots (AGVs and AMRs) Growth Opportunities

Description

Labor Challenges and Asset-light Business Models Drive Adoption of AGVs and AMRs

Labor shortages, inflation, and higher operational costs will force companies to accelerate the pace of advancement and explore various formulas to upgrade technology. The need to increase efficiencies, handle extreme loads, and customize solutions to customer requirements drive the development of autonomous technologies in warehouses across North America, mainly the United States. Autonomous solution development will accelerate as companies begin to right-size equipment/fleets.

Changes in customer purchase preferences stemming from supply chain challenges and inflation have led to new business models, such as Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS). Customer preferences in shifting to an asset-light operation and alleviating long-term commitment to robot fleets have been crucial to the emergence of new business models.

Logistics, serving, and disinfection are prominent AGV and AMR use cases; however, subsegments within these categories, such as palletizing and sorting, will become the primary future use cases. Hybrid systems allowing customers to use AMRs to perform multiple operations will grow in the future.

This research analyzes market growth trends of autonomous equipment in the US industrial environment, focusing on mobile robots (AGVs and AMRs) for warehousing. It evaluates contributing technologies, market favorability, and government efforts in promoting mobile robots. The report also examines existing infrastructure and upcoming market trends in the coming years.
