This research report provides an in-depth analysis of U.S. motorized pulleys market emphasizing on the current market trends, market sizes, market shares, recent developments, and forecasts till 2031.
The U.S. motorized pulleys market is projected to reach $249.4 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2024 to 2031. The growth of the U.S. motorized pulleys market is driven by the increasing adoption of industrial automation and other Industry 4.0 technologies, the rising need to replace aging assets, and the growing demand for material handling solutions. However, suboptimal overall efficiency due to motorized pulleys’ compact designs restrains the growth of this market.
Additionally, the growth of the e-commerce and logistics sectors and advancements in motor & control technologies are generating growth opportunities for the stakeholders in this market. Furthermore, the higher investment requirements of motorized pulleys compared to traditional pulleys are a major challenge restricting market growth.
Based on power output, the U.S. motorized pulleys market is segmented into up to 5 hp, above 5 hp to 15 hp, 15 hp to 50 hp, and above 50 hp. In 2024, the up to 5 hp segment is expected to account for the largest share of 37.3% of the U.S. motorized pulleys market. This segment’s large market share is attributed to the increasing adoption & advancements of conveyor systems for transporting lightweight materials, and rising demand for industrial automation.
However, the above 5 hp to 15 hp segment is expected to record the highest CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period. This segment’s growth is driven by factors such as the increasing adoption of baggage handling systems in airports and the rising need to reduce labor costs and enhance efficiency across various industries.
Based on gear material, the U.S. motorized pulleys market is segmented into polymer, steel, and other gear materials. In 2024, the polymer segment is expected to account for the largest share of 49.1% of the U.S. motorized pulleys market. This segment’s large market share is primarily attributed to the increasing emphasis among companies on developing highly durable polymers specifically designed for industrial applications, as well as the advantages of using polymer gears in motorized pulleys, such as their lighter weight and reduced noise levels compared to metal gears.
However, the steel segment is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This segment’s growth is primarily driven by factors such as the high durability of steel gears, which withstand the continuous wear & tear from moving large quantities of materials.
Based on housing material, the U.S. motorized pulleys market is segmented into aluminum housing, steel housing, and other housing materials. In 2024, the aluminum housing segment is expected to account for the largest share of the U.S. motorized pulleys market. This segment’s large market share is attributed to the benefits offered by aluminum, such as affordability and corrosion resistance, and the growing preference for aluminum in environments prone to moisture or chemical exposure.
On the other hand, the steel housing segment is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This segment’s expansion is driven by the widespread preference for heavy-duty motorized pulleys due to their strength & durability across several industries.
Based on application, the U.S. motorized pulleys market is segmented into belt conveyors and roller conveyors. In 2024, the roller conveyors segment is expected to account for a larger share of 58.3% of the U.S. motorized pulleys market. This segment’s large market share is credited to the growing advancement in conveyor systems and permeating use cases of roller conveyors across various industries.
However, the belt conveyors segment is anticipated to record the highest CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period. The furtherance in automation and increasing adoption of automation technologies are some of the factors responsible for the belt conveyors segment’s growth.
Based on end user, the U.S. motorized pulleys market is segmented into mining & mineral processing, cement manufacturers, steel industry, power generation, automotive manufacturers, consumer goods manufacturers, logistics & warehousing, food & beverage processing industry, and other end users. In 2024, the logistics & warehousing segment is expected to account for the largest share of 23.5% of the U.S. motorized pulleys market. This segment’s large market share is attributed to the increased integration of conveyor systems in logistics and warehouse operation and benefits such as increased productivity, improved safety, and better space utilization of conveyor systems in the logistics industry.
On the other hand, the automotive manufacturers segment is expected to register the highest CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period. This segment’s growth is primarily driven by factors such as the focus of manufacturers on lowering reliance on human labor, especially for repetitive or dangerous tasks and tight production deadlines.
