…this market segment,” said Ash Sharma, managing director at Interact Analysis. The other reality is that automated lift trucks are still a drop in the bucket in terms of total lift truck sales. User companies will have to figure out how to justify them and think through how the technology is not just another type of lift truck, but a tool in their automation strategy. Approximately 5,000 automated lift trucks were shipped in 2019, according to Sharma. That may sound like quite a few, but with more than 1 million lift trucks of all types shipped last year, it amounted…

…according to Ash Sharma, managing director with analyst firm Interact Analysis. That may sound like quite a few, but with more than 1 million lift trucks of all types shipped last year, it amounted to 0.3% of the market. However, with a sharp increase in e-commerce in this pandemic year and added pressure on warehouses and other industrial sites to improve on cost efficiencies and order cycle times, Interact Analysis predicts robust growth for robotic lift trucks, which it sees as inclusive of vehicles based on automatic guided vehicle (AGV) technology or those that use autonomous navigation. Through 2028, Interact…

Market intelligence firm Interact Analysis has published a new market report forecasting the warehouse automation market will grow at a CAGR of 12.6% over the next five years. However, the firm also predicts a temporary dip in revenue growth between 2020 and 2021. The research outlines how, with the growing trade tensions between the US and China, coupled with slowing demand in Europe, the global economy is looking increasingly vulnerable and many businesses are delaying capital expenditure. This is reflected in warehouse automation vendors reporting a sharp drop in their order intake. The report reveals how, during the past few…
