The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a rise in automation, rise in industrialization, expansion of recycling and waste treatment industries, upswing in the demand for energy-efficient systems, and rising concerns related to the health and safety of consumers. Major trends in the forecast period include product innovation, technological advancements, utilization of product development software, strategic partnership, and technological advancements in manufacturing processes.

The growth of the pneumatic conveying systems market is expected to be driven by the increasing automation trends. Automation refers to the use of mechanical or electronic devices to make a process, system, or apparatus operate automatically, replacing the need for human labor. The rise in automation is fueled by technological advancements aimed at streamlining operations, improving efficiency, and lowering labor costs. In automated systems where precise and consistent material transportation is crucial, pneumatic conveying systems offer accurate control over the movement of materials. These systems automate the transfer of bulk materials, eliminating the need for manual intervention. For example, the World Robotics report, published by the International Federation of Robotics in September 2023, revealed that 553,052 industrial robots were installed globally in factories, reflecting a 5% year-on-year growth rate in 2022. Thus, the rise in automation is driving the expansion of the pneumatic conveying systems market.

Leading companies in the pneumatic conveying systems market are focusing on developing innovative custom vacuum conveyors to provide enhanced features for customers. Custom vacuum conveyors are advanced pneumatic systems that utilize the suction from a vacuum pump to move bulk materials. For example, in February 2024, Gericke, a US-based process equipment manufacturer, introduced its Vacuum and Positive Pressure Conveying Systems. These systems are designed to gently transport various bulk materials using suction generated by a vacuum pump. Their compact design allows for installation in confined spaces without disrupting ongoing processes, and they can be customized to meet specific requirements such as sanitary, explosion-proof, and other specialized standards.

In April 2023, Addtech Process Technology acquired Clyde Holding Limited for an undisclosed sum, gaining full ownership of Clyde. This acquisition is expected to bolster Addtech AB's process systems business unit with Clyde's considerable technical expertise. Clyde Holding Limited, based in the UK, specializes in manufacturing pneumatic conveying systems.

The pneumatic conveying systems market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing services such as system design and engineering, material testing, installation and start-up services. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The pneumatic conveying systems market also includes sales of air movers, piping systems, conveying components and accessories. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD, unless otherwise specified).

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.
