The emergence of AGV lithium batteries has a good replacement effect on traditional forklifts. According to statistical data, from 2010 to 2016, the forklift industry still maintained a small growth despite the overall downturn in the construction machinery industry. In 2016, the national forklift sales volume was 370,100 units, a year-on-year increase of 12.97%; in the first three quarters of 2017, the forklift sales volume reached 368,700 units, and it is expected to exceed 450,000 units for the whole year.
Assuming that the annual sales of forklifts can be maintained at 400,000 units in the future, and about half of the forklifts will be replaced by AGV forklifts, and the average price of AGV is about 200,000 yuan, the annual market space for AGV is about 40 billion yuan = 20 (10,000 units) * 50% * 20 (10,000 yuan/unit).
In addition, considering the replacement of my country's huge forklift stock with AGVs and the use of AGVs to replace manual operations in more industries, my country's annual market space for AGVs will be far more than 32 billion yuan.
Data show that in recent years, the scale of my country's automated logistics equipment market has grown rapidly, reaching 75.8 billion yuan in 2016, a year-on-year increase of 30.02%, and is expected to exceed 260 billion yuan in 2022. AGV is one of the important equipment for realizing automated logistics. With the development of automated logistics in the future, the market prospects of AGV will be very good.
