The global automated material handling equipment market accounted US$ 28.64 Bn in 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period 2018 - 2025, to account to US$ 51.22 Bn by 2025.
Automated material handling equipment is used for storage, control, protection, and movement of goods. These tools are very convenient to use throughout the process of distribution, manufacturing, consumption and finally disposal. The automated material handling equipment simplifies the process and are used in modern day to day industries. The emergence of online shopping and e-commerce is resulting in bolstering the automated material handling equipment market growth as well as the increasing adoption of automated solutions in manufacturing industries, particularly in the developing economies. Handling of goods for industry verticals such as metals & heavy machinery, aviation sector, and automotive sector for a human could be very challenging and puts the workforce to higher health safety risks. The need to create a safer workplace for the labor, and allow for machines to replace the traditional material handling techniques, the automated material handling equipment market demand is anticipated to pace up at higher rates during the forecast period. However, the high cost associated with the installation of this equipment along with the overall maintenance cost is hindering the automated material handling equipment market growth.
A number of industrial facilities and warehouses are increasing the use of automated solutions to enhance their profits, warehouse operations, comfort as well as worker safety. Industries such as automotive, metals & heavy machinery, food & beverages, and others are concerned about reducing labor-intensive processes, increasing accuracy and speed for material handling. The advent of Industry 4.0 or the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) that would utilize the powers of collaborative robots, and automated guided vehicles is further anticipated to drive productivity in the manufacturing sector thereby propelling the growth of automated material handling equipment market.
