[199 Pages Report] The Autonomous Forklift Market size was estimated at USD 3.75 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 4.06 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 9.55% to reach USD 7.11 billion by 2030.

Autonomous forklifts are versatile driverless automated forklifts based on computer vision technology and artificial intelligence (AI) that can lift and move a wide range of payloads and pallet types. In the ongoing industrial revolution, Industry 4.0 has been raising the adoption of numerous automation technologies, including autonomous forklifts in various industrial applications, to obtain operational efficiencies. The recent growth in eCommerce, logistics, and warehousing services owing to the high consumer demand is raising the need for autonomous forklifts, which help to reduce the time and cost of these warehousing and logistics services. The high initial investment cost and technical issues associated with these technologically advanced autonomous forklifts results in hampering the widespread adoption of these autonomous mobile robots (AMR). However, the ongoing IoT advancements allow autonomous forklifts to handle horizontal and vertical movements of palletized goods, expanding the future scope of these autonomous forklifts. Additionally, the integration of 5G technology allows to remotely operate a forklift truck located in an open-air area or a warehouse using video data via the 5G network, advancing the future prospects for the autonomous forklifts.
