The anticipated rise in automation is poised to propel the expansion of the pneumatic conveying systems market in the coming years. Automation involves the utilization of mechanical or electronic devices to operate an apparatus, process, or system automatically, thereby replacing human labor. The surge in automation is fueled by technological advancements aimed at streamlining processes, boosting efficiency, and curbing labor costs. Pneumatic conveying systems play a crucial role in automated processes where precise and consistent material transportation is paramount. These systems automate the movement of bulk items from one location to another, eliminating the need for manual intervention. For instance, in September 2022, the International Federation of Robotics reported that companies globally installed 517,385 new industrial robots in 2021, with Asia contributing 74% of these installations. Notably, China, the largest adopter in the region, witnessed a significant 51% increase in installations, reaching 268,195 units sold. Consequently, the surge in automation is fueling the growth of the pneumatic conveying systems market.

Key players in the pneumatic conveying systems market are innovating by developing cutting-edge products such as vacuum conveyors to better cater to customers' needs with advanced features. Vacuum conveyors, a type of pneumatic conveyor, utilize pressure differentials to transport materials from one point to another. For example, in November 2021, Piab Group introduced the piFLOWam vacuum conveyor, a compact solution specifically designed for OEMs operating in the additive manufacturing sector. Its compact and efficient design incorporates Piab's advanced COAX vacuum technology along with a robust butterfly valve resistant to pressure fluctuations, ensuring secure retention of material batches without the need for pump attachments. This unit offers ease of operation and seamless compatibility with various equipment like 3D printers, sieves, and hoppers. The piFLOWam stands as a versatile solution for additive manufacturing processes, operable via pneumatic or electrical units.

A pneumatic conveying system is a method used to transfer bulk materials, such as powders and granules, via an enclosed conveying pipeline utilizing pressure differential and gas or airflow. These systems rely on compressed air or gas to propel materials from one processing area to another, making them particularly suitable for fine, dry powders that can be easily transported through the conveying line.

The primary operating principles of pneumatic conveying systems include dilute-phase conveying and dense-phase conveying. Dilute-phase conveying is employed to transport non-abrasive, non-fragile materials with low bulk density. These systems encompass various technologies, including positive pressure systems, vacuum systems, and combination systems, catering to diverse end-user industries such as ceramics, pharmaceuticals, food processing, rubber and plastics, cement, mining, automotive, among others.
