Enormous Development Period to Restrain Growth

Though the global market is estimated to pace ahead at a phenomenal pace, it needs to overcome few hurdles to achieve its full potential. Currently, the biggest problem for automated guided vehicles manufacturers is the long time required to bring the final product to the market. From transforming a prototype into a commercialized product, manufacturers have to tackle several issues such as parameterization, modeling, and self-calibration. Thus, the exceptionally long development time is likely to hamper the growth of the overall market in the long run.
