Automated guided vehicle manufacturers are investing in the diversification of sourcing for specialized automotive components away from China to mitigate the effects of the pandemic.

ROCKVILLE, MD / ACCESSWIRE / June 8, 2020 / The numerous restrictive measures set up by governments to combat the global coronavirus outbreak, including the restrictions on imports, exports and transport of goods are creating a number of challenges in the automated guided vehicle industry. This is anticipated to generate tough conditions for key players throughout the lockdown period. Also, the massive role of China as a supplier to the industry, and the impact of the pandemic on the country, will cut into the growth of the automated guided vehicle market.

The market has been projected to display an exponential 12.5% CAGR in the forecast period between 2020 and 2030, according to a new Fact.MR report. Automated guided vehicle manufacturers are likely to leverage the need for remote deliveries of services to minimize the spread of contagions, which will generate new opportunities within the market.

"Advances in safety & security features for operations in real world will drive demand for automated guided vehicles. Superior safety will lead to reduced costs and operational downtime, which will bolster the productivity of multiple operations," states the FACT.MR analyst.
