Market Definition
Autonomous forklifts are industrial trucks that automatically lift and transport products from one place to another in the inventories. These machines are fitted with a great variety of cameras, sensors, and navigation systems so that they can perform on their own.
Market Insights & Analysis: North America Autonomous Forklifts Market (2025-30):
The North America Autonomous Forklifts Market size was valued at around USD 0.95 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1.97 billion by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 9% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30.

As per the U.S. Department of Commerce in Q4, 2024 the retail online sales in the U.S. amounted to USD 308.9 billion, representing an increase of approximately 2.7% compared to the previous quarter of the same year. There exists quite a heavy amount of industrial freight, which drives the demand for decent automatic forklifts that are safer and perform better than inferior manual equivalents. Furthermore, the policies and regulations introduced by the governments of this region boost the sales of self-driving forklifts. These include the regulations that put restrictions on the emission of carbon compounds into the air. Autonomous forklifts help companies to address this norm as they run on electric power.
In addition, purchases of such vehicles result in getting subsidies from the government that encourage more buyers and thus fuel investment in such types of equipment. With ongoing growth in the e-commerce sector that is projected to increase in the forecast period and governmental support for these vehicles, the market for Autonomous forklifts is projected to rise.
