Global Autonomous ForkliftMarket is valued approximately USD 3 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 12.7% over the forecast period 2022-2028.

An autonomous forklift is an integral part of material handling equipment. Automated material handling eliminates the need for human intervention in basic operations such as precisely storing an item at a predefined location, retrieving an item, and transferring goods without risk of damage to specific processing or interface points. Thus, the use of an autonomous forklift reduces labour costs while also improving space utilisation. Increasing warehouse rents and decreasing warehouse availability are expected to drive the adoption of autonomous forklifts during the forecasted period. Key players are taking strategies to enhance their market share. For instance, Jungheinrich AG entered into an intralogistics collaboration with TRUMPG in July 2021. Jungheinrich AG announced the provision of driverless trucks to TRUMPF to autonomously transport sheet metal parts between various machine tools and storage sites, while TRUMPF would supply its production-control software TruTops Fab, which would assist manufacturers improve their logistics. Similarly, AGILOX Services Gmbh agreed into an investment agreement with Carlyle Group in June 2021. Carlyle Group is a multinational investment corporation that makes investments in developing technology. The fresh cash will help AGILOX expand its geographic reach and product development. As a result, the market for autonomous forklifts is likely to expand significantly in the coming years. However, AI and WMS have resulted in high integration and switching costs this would inhibit the market growth.

The key regions considered for the global Autonomous Forklift Marketstudy includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World.Because of the increasing use of autonomous forklifts in China and India, the Asia Pacific region is expected to occupy the greatest share of the market by 2028. Other nations in the area, like Japan and South Korea, are expected to increase their market share by upgrading and retrofitting existing automated material handling equipment. Furthermore, worldwide autonomous forklift manufacturers are relocating to the region. The transfer of technology has resulted in an increase in the number of local players, which is likely to lower the cost of adopting autonomous forklifts in the region. As a result, the area is likely to grow its market share throughout the projection period. Whereas, with the rising interest in automation technologies, Europe is expected to occupy the second highest share of the autonomous forklift market by 2028. Europe has been the most developed market in terms of warehouse and material handling automation installation. High labour costs, a lack of space, and strict worker safety regulations are just a few of the key issues driving automation technology adoption in the European material handling ecosystem.
