Increasing Demand for Unit Load Carriers Drive the Demand for Global Automated Guided Vehicle Market

The unit load carrier segment dominates the automated guided vehicle industry. This can be attributed to the increased use of unit load carriers to deliver pallets and large containers and their ability to efficiently schedule the task by minimizing product damage and aisle traffic. Furthermore, unlike fork trucks, they do not require human intervention and are thus ideal for repetitive tasks and hazardous areas. Because they are self-sufficient, they reduce the need for human labor and increase worker safety. The rising demand for improved worker safety is significantly contributing to the segment's growth.
