North American Industrial Mobile Robots (AGVs and AMRs) Market Report 2023: Labor Challenges and Asset-light Business Models Drives Adoption - Forecasts to 2030

DUBLIN, Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "North American Industrial Mobile Robots (AGVs and AMRs) Growth Opportunities" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This research delves into the growth trends of autonomous equipment within the US industrial sector, with a specific focus on mobile robots, including AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) designed for warehousing applications.

The study assesses the role of contributing technologies, market conditions, and government initiatives in promoting the adoption of mobile robots. Additionally, it scrutinizes the existing infrastructure and forthcoming market dynamics anticipated in the years ahead.

Pressing challenges such as labor shortages, inflation, and escalating operational expenses are compelling companies to expedite technological advancements and explore various strategies to upgrade their technology.

The imperative to enhance operational efficiency, handle heavy workloads, and tailor solutions to meet customer demands is driving the development of autonomous technologies within warehouses across North America, with a primary focus on the United States. The evolution of autonomous solutions will gain momentum as companies seek to optimize their equipment and fleets.

The evolving preferences of customers, driven by supply chain disruptions and inflation, have given rise to new business models, including Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS). The shift towards asset-light operations and the desire to minimize long-term commitments to robot fleets have played pivotal roles in the emergence of these innovative business models.

While AGVs and AMRs find prominent use cases in logistics, delivery, and disinfection, specific subsegments within these categories, such as palletizing and sorting, are expected to take center stage as primary future use cases. The growth of hybrid systems that enable customers to leverage AMRs for multiple operational tasks is also anticipated in the foreseeable future.
