The Global Market for Automated Material Handling Equipment is Projected to Reach US$30.4 Billion by 2022
Focus on Manufacturing Competitiveness Drives Demand
for Automated Material Handling Equipment, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches comprehensive
analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and
demand forecasts on the global Automated Material Handling Equipment market. The
global market for Automated Material Handling Equipment is projected to reach US$30.4
billion by 2022, driven by the growing pressure to improve manufacturing efficiency
and the ensuing expansion in the role played by automation technologies.
Material handling
equipment finds widespread use in diverse industries for storage, control and
movement of items. The quest for efficiency in the manufacturing and industrial
sectors continues to grow strong against the backdrop of intensifying competition
in the free market economy. Export-oriented industrialization in developing
markets is exerting pressure on the manufacturing sector to remain competitive in
globe trade by manufacturing high quality products at lower costs. Businesses
are therefore adopting diverse technologies including automated material
handling to simplify manufacturing processes, improve productivity, and reduce
costs. Automated material handling focuses on eliminating manual labor for
material handling operations such as moving, sorting, organizing and retrieving
of materials. Reduced labor costs and improved working and safety conditions
offered by such systems are factors positively influencing adoption patterns in
the market.
Rapidly changing
manufacturing landscape, consumer demand for greater product choices, and
intense competition are pushing market players to adopt new technologies for
process optimization. Technology trends like robotic
automation, and smart factories/IIoT are fuelling the prominence of
automated material handling technologies. Continuous growth in the number of
manufacturing facilities worldwide, changing workforce demographics, increased
emphasis on safe working conditions and increasing complexity of manual material
handling are driving demand for automated material handling equipment. Demand
is also favored by advancements in electronics and wireless technologies. In
the long run, advanced technologies such as driverless vehicles, robotics,
autonomous control and wearable computing are expected to drive the commercial
value of automated material handling systems. In the coming years, growth will
be driven by increased adoption in new emerging end-use markets such as
personal care products and eCommerce. Increasing pressure on manufacturers to
reduce lead times and improve delivery times, as retail outlets run leaner
inventories will drive adoption of material handling systems in unexplored
sectors. While automotive and metal & heavy machinery account for a major
share of revenues in the market, growth is likely to be rapid in semiconductors
& electronics and healthcare sectors.
As stated by the new
market research report on Automated
Material Handling Equipment, Europe represents the largest market,
worldwide. Asia-Pacific is poised to record the fastest CAGR of 7.1% over the
analysis period, led by growing Asian economies, expanding manufacturing sector,
continuous rise in manufacturing output, and increased investments in upgrading
the manufacturing infrastructure.
