AGV Software Market Overview
AGV Software Market is forecast to reach $2.6 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 14.2% from 2021 to 2026. The AGV Software Market is estimated to witness sustainable growth over the forecast period majorly because Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are widely utilized for transporting materials around the warehouse or the factories which is needed to be monitored and controlled at regular intervals. To achieve these monitoring and controlling requirements, AGV Software is used.
It is primarily divided into three types, namely, Fleet Management software, Navigation software and Mapping software which are either in-built in AGVs or constitute integrated software along with warehouse management systems.
With the growing demand for automation and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) across various industries and rising adoption of on-cloud warehouse management system solutions, the global AGV Software Market is rising at a rapid pace over the next few years. However, high initial costs associated with software deployment integrated with big data analytics is expected to restrain the market growth of AGV Software.

AGV Software Market Segment Analysis - By Installation
In-built Software has dominated the AGV Software Market as compared to the Integrated Software with a share of 79.5%. The central system software is responsible for the management and intelligent operation of transport orders in individual AGVs. In-built AGV Software works in accordance with single central system software which carries out all processes required in a warehouse. It offers ease in operation and maintenance with great accuracy and efficiency in transporting products from one location to other. With the increasing digitalization and with the introduction of smart technologies such as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and big data analytics in warehouse management systems, In-built software is expected to create a positive impact on the Automated Guided Vehicle Software Market during the forecast period. On the other hand, AGVs with Integrated Software are costlier than In-built Software which restrain their market growth.
AGV Software Market Segment Analysis - By End Use Industry
AGV Software is widely used in Logistics sector accounting for 33.5% share of the market in 2020. One of the major reasons for boost in market of AGV Software in Logistics sector is because of its requirement in almost every part of Logistics process starting from Assembly, Packaging, Sorting and Storage as AGV offers automated transportation feature to the Warehouse Management Systems. Products are needed to be transported in warehouse premises which are easily carried out by AGVs. Automated Guided Vehicles provides many advantages in Logistics sector such as it reduces labor costs, they eliminate damage to structures and products, they increase workplace safety and lower costs, they are less expensive than fixed automation systems, they reduce utility costs and they increase inventory efficiency and accuracy. These advantages tend to bring the pace in the market growth of AGV Software in Logistics sector.
AGV Software Market Segment Analysis - By Geography
North America accounts for the highest market among all the regions at 35.1% in 2020. The market growth in this region is predominantly rising due to leading economies such as United States, Canada and Mexico. Due to the growing demand for automation and IIoT across various industries and rising adoption of on-cloud warehouse management system solutions has brought a major pace in the AGV Software Market growth.

AGV Software Market Drivers
Rise in Technology Advancement drives market growth
With the increasing demand for automation across various industries and rising adoption of on-cloud warehouse management system solutions, there has been a rapid adoption of Automated Guided Vehicles to handle monitoring and controlling feature by Warehouse Management Systems. With the advancing technologies, the developments of AGVs by Integrated software has been a major trend in the AGV Software Market. With the introduction of AGV Navigation Software and AGV Mapping Sofware over traditional AGV Fleet Management Software has been a recent trend in AGV Software Market. Introduction of Magnetic Navigation for various light-duty AGVs which typically uses magnetic tape for the guide path has been a recent development in AGV Software Market. The recent introduction of AGV Mapping Software benefits the Warehouse Management Systems such as maps-out the application area, makes a selection of reliable contours to ensure stable navigation, creates the routes and functionalities and translates all information into Fleet Management software.
Increasing adoption of on-cloud Warehouse Management System (WMS) solutions
Warehouse Management System (WMS) has become increasingly advanced in recent years. Now, cloud computing and IIoT is transforming the warehousing operations and supply chain industry by enabling warehouse operators to manage their distribution centres more efficiently. A cloud-based WMS provides a merged view of the movement of products and allows all the elements in a warehouse’s operations to be seamlessly integrated and monitoring features. This allows warehouse operators to track inventory more easily and ensure that necessary stock is available to satisfy customer orders. If there is any bulky product demand, cloud computing makes it easier to respond by enabling quick communication with suppliers and staff to procure the required stock. Cloud-based WMS software solutions reduce the cost of ownership and transporting time with the help of AGVs.
