簡介目錄

歐洲自動導引運輸車(AGV)市場規模預計到2025年為16.9億美元,預計到2030年將達到29.2億美元,預測期內(2025-2030年)複合年成長率為11.5%。

歐洲自動導引車(AGV)-市場-IMG1

零售業的成長主要是由電子商務對自動化倉庫解決方案的需求不斷成長所推動的。此外,市場集中度預計將集中在西歐,B2C平台的大部分銷售額來自該地區(66%)。隨著這些新興市場的開放,這些市場的供應商擴大採用自動化。

主要亮點

  • 2022 年 7 月,DHL eCommerce Solutions 宣布對其英國電子商務業務 DHL Parcel UK 投資 5.6 億歐元。自 2020 年初以來,交易量增加了 40%,並且對電子商務和 B2B 服務的需求不斷增加,因此進行了此項投資。該擴建計劃旨在提供必要的基礎設施來支持發展,同時使公司處於永續數位物流的前沿。該地區的此類發展正在推動 AGV 的需求。
  • 製造業、食品飲料等產業正用機器人取代人類的工作。然而,與這些行業不同的是,電子商務領域的自動化創造了更好的就業機會。這主要是由於在電子商務履約中心和第三方倉儲領域擴大使用 AGV 等協作機器人。
  • 此外,在汽車產業,生產現場的自動化和AGV的引入正在取得進展。例如,西班牙馬爾托雷爾的西雅特工廠旨在成為數位化智慧工廠,製造商採用了具有 SLAM 導航、4G 連接和感應電池充電功能的 AGV。迄今為止,該工廠已安裝了 8 輛 AGV 用於戶外作業,還有 200 多輛 AGV 在 Martorell 和巴塞隆納工廠的組裝車間內運輸零件。例如,汽車供應商博澤已投資200萬歐元購買AGV,為日產、捷豹、路虎和豐田等汽車製造商供應座椅和車窗調節器。
  • 此外,製藥業是製造業領域另一個引人注目的自動化採用者,因為它是歐洲受到高度監管的行業之一。例如,總部位於瑞士巴塞爾的製藥公司羅氏製藥公司在羅氏位於凱澤勞斯特的冷藏倉庫物流設施中實施了工業 4.0,用於藥品的儲存和揀選。該倉儲倉庫擁有 8,100 個托盤位,該設施採用了瑞仕格的自動化解決方案。未來幾年,我們預計供應商將大力投資充電和電池技術相關的研發,以及改進通訊模組。隨著5G的到來,預計將採用高速通訊模組,AGV操作將得到加強。
  • AGV 的需求主要由該地區的汽車、金屬、醫療和製藥業推動。由於最近爆發的新冠肺炎 (COVID-19) 疫情,從長遠來看,對自動化的需求預計將會增加,主要是為了解決勞動力短缺和成本增加的問題。在 COVID-19 大流行期間,全部區域政府認為製藥業至關重要,推動了市場成長的需求。
  • 使用 AGV 實現製造流程和供應鏈自動化的公司必須承擔大量費用。這包括購買、安裝和改造工作場所以使其適合 AGV 的成本。此外,高階 AGV 的高成本可能會阻礙製造商採用它們。由於中小企業買不起自動化系統,被迫依賴傳統/手動堆高機,這會阻礙中小企業採用AGV。

歐洲AGV市場趨勢

食品飲料可望大幅成長

  • 食品和飲料行業是一個受到嚴格監管的行業,需要保持衛生和安全,這就是 AGV 的採用不斷增加的原因。歐洲擁有世界上最豐富的食品和飲料工業之一。該地區擁有超過 286,000 家食品和飲料公司,食品和飲料是歐洲成長最快的最終用途產業之一。
  • 根據歐盟統計局的數據,近 14.6% 的家庭支出用於食品和飲料,預計在預測期內將進一步增加。由於國內需求呈下降趨勢,且大多數食品企業主都是家庭小家庭,此類機會預計將增加該地區的產量,進而擴大自動化範圍。
  • 此外,當地食品和飲料電子商務產業的成長也是一個促進因素。電子商務的成長與用於最佳化營運的倉庫自動化直接相關,這對市場產生了積極影響。倉庫配備AGV來處理倉庫物流和手續。 AGV 可以舉重物,據報導可以將完成物流流程所需的時間減少三倍。部分原因是該地區網路購物日益普及。
  • 此外,推動 AGV 市場發展的另一個因素是它們能夠提供警報功能,通知用戶庫存時間過長且可能已到有效期的產品。這種通知功能由 AGV 附帶的庫存管理軟體實現,使公司能夠減少浪費並實現經濟高效的營運。
  • 此外,食品和飲料行業第三方物流公司的大規模成長和擴張預計也將推動 AGV 市場的發展,因為這些組織將大量使用 AGV 來實現流程最佳化和經濟高效的營運。
  • 食品和飲料是世界上最大的產業之一,每年約佔設備和機械總投資的80%。此外,由於多樣化的生活方式和不斷變化的消費習慣,調味飲料、果汁和能量飲料的消費也在快速成長。例如,根據英國國家英國2021 年版的數據,英國消費者在食品和非酒精飲料上的支出在 2020 年達到 1,180 億英鎊,2021 年達到 1,170 億英鎊。因此,消費者在食品和飲料上的支出正在增加該地區對 AGV 的需求。

英國佔最大市場佔有率

  • 在英國和歐洲,政治、經濟和技術的發展對製造業的成長有相應的影響。英國脫歐公投震驚了所有產業,但製造業依然樂觀。此外,隨著公司尋求勞動力密集程度較低的業務,預期的勞動力短缺強化了物流自動化的理由。高需求和市場成長機會激發了自動化物流供應商的樂觀情緒。
  • 該國人事費用的上升以及供應鏈要求更準確、快速和敏捷營運的壓力意味著自動化分類系統對於企業、吞吐量和效率以及消費者而言變得更具成本效益和效率,並且在供應中越來越課責。許多快速消費品製造商依賴分類系統來處理罐裝產品。此外,英國因其複雜的建築工程而受到廣泛認可,但用於建設活動的占地面積較少。因此,專用自動導引運輸車在工地越來越受歡迎。
  • 此外,AGV 在醫院中取得了巨大成功,NHS 在英國醫院部署了 AGV 解決方案。醫院 AGV 承載在部門之間反覆移動的所有有效負載,包括食品、亞麻布、商店、廢棄物、藥品和無菌消耗品。可靠、及時地運送各種貨物使醫院能夠更有效地運作並更好地利用其他資源。 AGV 的需求主要由國內汽車、金屬、醫療和製藥業推動。由於最近的冠狀病毒爆發,從長遠來看,對自動化的需求預計會增加,主要是為了解決勞動力短缺和成本上升的問題。
  • 在國內,目前的AGV技術是在磁帶上運行的,佔據了很大的市場佔有率。 IMA 等公司專注於提供採用先進技術運作的 AGV。預測期內,國內廠商預計將採用並配備新的掃描和通訊技術作為AGV模組的一部分。例如,SICK UK 推出了一款經過安全認證的室外雷射掃描儀,安裝在 AGV 上,可在室內和室外空間運作。預計未來幾年此類地區的案例將大幅增加。

The Europe Automated Guided Vehicle Market size is estimated at USD 1.69 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 2.92 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 11.5% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Europe Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) - Market - IMG1

The retail industry's growth is primarily driven by the increasing demand from e-commerce, primarily for automated warehouse solutions. Furthermore, the concentration of the market is expected to be focused in Western Europe; a majority of the turnover from the B2C platform is from the region (66%). Owing to such developments, vendors in the market are increasingly adopting automation.

Key Highlights

  • In July 2022, DHL eCommerce Solutions announced to invest EUR 560 million in DHL Parcel UK, its UK e-commerce operation. The investment follows a 40% increase in volume since the beginning of 2020 and increased demand for its e-commerce and B2B services. The expansion project intends to provide the necessary infrastructure to support development while positioning the company at the forefront of sustainable and digital logistics. Such developments in the region are driving the demand for AGVs.
  • Industries, such as manufacturing, and food and beverage, are replacing human jobs with robots. However, unlike these industries, automation in the e-commerce sector creates better job opportunities. This is majorly due to the high usage of collaborative robots, such as AGVs, in the e-commerce fulfillment centers and the third-party warehousing sector.
  • Moreover, the automotive industry is increasingly adopting automation and AGVs on its production floors. For instance, the SEAT plant in Martorell, Spain, is moving toward a digitalized smart factory, and the manufacturer adopted AGVs with SLAM navigation, 4 G connection, and induction battery charging. To date, the facility took eight AGVs for outdoor operation and had over 200 AGVs that deliver parts inside the assembly workshops at the Martorell and Barcelona factories. For instance, automotive supplier Brose invested EUR 2 million in AGVs, and the company provides seats and window regulators for auto manufacturers, such as Nissan, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Toyota.
  • Further, the pharmaceutical industry is another prominent adopter of automation in its manufacturing space, as it is one of the highly regulated industries in the European region. For instance, Hoffmann-La Roche AG, a pharmaceutical company headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, implemented Industry 4.0 for the storage and picking of medications in its cold storage logistics facility at Roche's Kaiseraugst location. The storage warehouse has 8,100 pallet locations, and the facility adopted Swisslog's automation solutions. Over the coming years, vendors are expected to invest significantly in R&D related to charging and battery technologies while improving communication modules. With the advent of 5G, the operation of AGVs is expected to enhance, along with the adoption of high-speed communication modules.
  • The demand for AGVs is primarily driven by the automotive, metal, healthcare, and pharmaceutical industries in the region. With the recent outbreak of COVID-19, the demand for automation is expected to increase over the long run, primarily to cope with the shortage of labor and increasing costs. The pharmaceutical industry, which has been deemed essential during the COVID-19 pandemic by governments across the region, has been driving demand for market growth.
  • Businesses that use AGVs to automate their manufacturing processes or supply chains must spend heavily. This covers the cost of purchasing, installing, and modifying the workplace to make it more AGV-friendly. Furthermore, the hefty cost of high-end AGVs may discourage manufacturers from employing them. Because small businesses cannot afford automated systems, they must rely on traditional/manual forklift trucks, which may hinder AGV adoption among smaller firms.

Europe AGV Market Trends

Food and Beverages is Expected to Witness Significant Growth

  • The food and beverage industries are significantly adopting AGVs, as these spaces are highly regulated for maintaining hygiene and safety. Europe is home to one of the world's most abundant food and beverage industries. With over 286,000 food and beverage companies operating in the region, Food and beverage are among the fastest-growing end-use industries in Europe.
  • According to Eurostat, almost 14.6% of household expenditure is spent on Food and beverages and is expected to increase further over the forecast period. As the domestic demand is on the downside and most of the food business owners are small families in the country, such opportunities are expected to increase production in the region and thus the scope of automation.
  • Moreover, the growing regional food and beverage e-commerce industry is another driving factor. E-commerce growth directly leads to warehouse automation for optimizing operations, positively influencing the market. The warehouses deploy AGVs to carry out warehouse logistics and procedures, which can lift heavy weights and have been reported to save the time taken to complete the logistical processes threefold. The growing penetration of online shopping in the region is another contributing factor.
  • Further, another factor pushing the market for AGV is its ability to provide alert capabilities that notify the user about a product kept in the inventory for too long and possibly reaching its expiration date. The notification function is enabled by the inventory management software available with the AGV, allowing the companies to achieve cost-effective operations by reducing wastage.
  • In addition, the large-scale growth and expansion of the third-party logistics companies in the food and beverage industry are also expected to drive the market for AGV due to their heavy use by these organizations, to achieve process optimization and cost-effective operations.
  • Food and beverage are one of the largest industries in the world, with about 80% of the total investment in equipment and machinery every year. Additionally, the consumption of flavored drinks, juices, and energy drinks are also on the surge, owing to diverse lifestyles and evolving consumer habits. For instance, according to Office for National Statistics (UK) 2021, consumer spending on Food and non-alcoholic drinks in the UK reached 118 billion British pounds in 2020 and 117 billion British pounds in 2021. So consumers' spending on Food and beverages increases the demand for AGVs in this region.

United Kingdom Accounts for the Largest Market Share

  • Throughout the United Kingdom and Europe, political, economic, and technological developments affect the manufacturing industry's growth proportionally. Although the BREXIT vote sent shockwaves across all sectors, the manufacturing industry remained positive. Also, the predicted labor shortage is strengthening the case for logistics automation as firms seek to make their operations less labor-intensive. High demand and opportunities for the market's growth invoked optimism among the automated logistics suppliers.
  • With rising labor costs and supply chain pressure for better accuracy, speed, and responsive operations in the country, automated sortation systems are gaining prominence in supply chains for delivering productivity, throughput capacity, efficiency, and accountability for businesses' cost-effective and efficient flow of goods to consumers. Manufacturers of many fast-moving consumer goods use sortation systems to handle cantonized products. Also, the United Kingdom is widely recognized for sophisticated construction work, with less floor space for construction activities. Thus, particular purpose automated guided vehicles are gaining popularity in construction.
  • Moreover, AGVs achieved significant success in hospitals, with NHS installing AGV solutions throughout hospitals in the United Kingdom. AGVs in hospitals carry all the payloads that move repetitively between departments, such as food, linen, stores, waste, pharmacy, and sterile supplies. Reliable and timely delivery of various shipments helps hospitals run more efficiently and better target other resources. The demand for AGVs is primarily driven by the country's automotive, metal, healthcare, and pharmaceutical industries. With the recent coronavirus outbreak, the need for automation is expected to increase over the long run, primarily to cope with the shortage of labor and rising costs.
  • In the country, the current AGV technologies run on magnetic tapes and account for a significant market share. Companies, such as IMA, are focusing on offering AGVs that operate on advanced technology. During the forecast period, vendors in the country are expected to adopt new scanning and communication technologies as a part of their AGV modules and set up facilities. For instance, SICK UK launched a safety-certified outdoor laser scanner mounted on AGVs to operate in indoor and outdoor spaces. Such regional examples are expected to increase over the coming years significantly.
