Conveyor Systems Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report, by Type, Industry and Load : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2030

Conveyor Systems Market Research 2030

The Global Conveyor Systems Market size was $9,113.9 million in 2020, and is expected to reach $15,183.1 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 5.1% from 2021 to 2030. Conveyor system is the type of machines that increases the efficiency of engines in addition to increase the power of the engines.

The conveyor system is a type of equipment or a machine that helps in transportation of goods or materials from one point to the other. It consists of the belt that is connected to the pulleys that are two in number and the belt helps in providing efficient rotation to the pulleys. In addition, these systems help in saving time of activities that could be done manually and it helps in saving the labor cost with reduced error that could be done by humans.

Market Dynamics

The major driving factor of conveyor systems market is the growing trend of automation in industries. The automated conveyors are suited for handling any volume of goods, and in addition they simplify the industrial task by reducing the amount of time for delivering goods. Hence, this is leading to surge in adoption of automated solutions across industries. In addition, companies use the lean manufacturing system to increase the productivity by reducing the waste within the manufacturing operation that helps in reducing the time, saving the costs, and increasing the quality of the service or the product. Conveyor systems help in saving the costs of hiring labors and time, thus increasing the productivity by handling larger volumes. This is leading to adoption of the conveyor system across industries.

However, high initial cost is restraining the market growth, as it includes the expenses related with hardware, belt, power source, truss, wire rope, and supports. In addition, the maintenance and the operation of these systems such as registration, insurance, fuel cost, repairs, and tire rotation incur additional cost, which restrains the market growth.

Conventional conveyor systems frequently lack the necessary flexibility and adaptability to effectively incorporate modifications in production, manufacturing, or logistics procedures. However, the emerging trend in conveyor design focuses on modularity and flexibility.

Manufacturers are now creating conveyor systems that can be effortlessly restructured to meet evolving requirements. Modular conveyors that can be effortlessly relocated from one line to another can address this requirement within a short span of time. An instance of innovation in conveyor flexibility is the retractable tail conveyors, which enable one end to adjust its length based on specific needs.

This feature can facilitate the distribution of products across different conveyors, alter product orientation, or enhance quality control. This adaptability guarantees that businesses can remain agile in response to shifting market demands and production prerequisites. Conveyors constructed using modular t-slot aluminum extrusions, such as MK conveyors, possess a distinct advantage in this realm as they naturally lend themselves to being reconfigured over time.  

Furthermore, the evolution of automation is reshaping conveyor systems into more than just transportation tools. The incorporation of synthetic intelligence (AI) has the capacity to revolutionize the conveyor industry. By integrating self-reliant and collaborative robots with conveyors, plenty of complicated tasks such as sorting, choosing, and packing can be executed. This integration not only improves efficiency and reduces labor costs but also creates new possibilities for industries that need precise handling of goods.  

In modern manufacturing environments, the capacity to adjust quickly is crucial as production necessities can range unexpectedly. The growing reputation of modular conveyor systems, which can be easily reconfigured or improved to accommodate changing demands, is substantial. RFID era is becoming increasingly more universal in numerous marketplace sectors.

The actual-time monitoring functionality it gives can greatly enhance logistics operations, enhance customer support, and optimize supply chains from the initial order placement to very last delivery. In the realm of conveyors, RFID technology is being seamlessly integrated into self-contained conveyor systems, enabling automated control decisions and facilitating simultaneous execution of multiple processes across different products. 

Furthermore, during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, construction, manufacturing, hotel, and tourism industries were majorly affected. Manufacturing activities were halted or restricted. Construction and transportation activities, along with their supply chains, were hampered on a global level.

This led to decline in manufacturing of conveyor system as well as their demand in the market, thereby restraining of the conveyor systems market growth. Conversely, industries are gradually resuming their regular manufacturing and services. This is expected to lead to re-initiation of conveyor system companies at their full-scale capacities, which is likely to help the market to recover by end of 2021.

On the contrary, the conveyor systems are used for the e-commerce industry for various applications such as fast delivery, efficient delivery of the parcels, reduced time, and efficient packaging. This is encouraging the e-commerce industries to adopt the conveyor systems. Hence, the growing e-commerce industry with growing trends of the automation for increasing productivity is creating opportunities for the market.
