Published: Jun 2020 | Report Code: OMR2021955 | Category : Automotive and Transportation | Delivery Format: /

The automated material handling equipment market is projected to grow at a considerable CAGR of around 12% during the forecast period (2020-2026). The rising demand for human-robot collaboration in the different industrial sectors such as automotive, chemical, retail, and manufacturing among others for overall cost reduction is a major factor to drive the growth of the global automated material handling equipment market. Robots are playing an imperative role in the industrial warehousing sector. The rise of industrial robots witnessed a hefty expansion in developed countries and certainly seems to be inevitable being driven by a range of production demands, including continued adaptation to the proliferation of automation and the IoT, increased resource efficiency, and need for safer and more simplified robotic technologies to work in collaboration with humans. According to the International Federation of Robotics, there are more than 1 million industrial robots at work in industrial units across the globe. 

Moreover, a significant rise in the industry 4.0 and smart factories, increased focal point of manufacturers on dropping the operational and maintenance costs, rolling need for automated material handling equipment. Here, with the integration of Industry 4.0-ready solutions and IoT, the data can be made available that can assist both ends of the supply chain since information is a more flexible way. This, in turn, ultimately leads to faster cycle times in the storage and retrieval of goods and more efficient delivery of goods to the consumer. The ongoing technological advancement in equipment manufacturing is anticipated to offer considerable opportunities to the growth of the global market.  However, the lack of a skilled workforce and the concern of replacing manual labor especially in emerging economies such as India and China are limiting the growth of the market.

Based on the system type, the market is segmented into robots, automated storage & retrieval system (ASRS), conveyor and sortation systems, cranes, and others. Robots are anticipated to hold considerable market share based on product type segments. The high use of robots to reduce the labor cost, to offer personnel safety, and to get a high return on the investment are the key factors contributing towards the high market share of the region. Cost-effectiveness, and ability to perform different tasks simultaneously to reduce the loading and unloading delay are the key factors contributing towards the growth of the segment. Based on industry, the market is segmented into automotive, food & beverage, chemical, metals & heavy machinery, retail, third party logistics, & e-commerce, healthcare, and others.

Retail, third party logistics, & e-commerce will be considerable segment based on industry

Retail, third party logistics, and e-commerce industry are anticipated to showcase considerable growth during the forecast period. The considerable growth in the e-commerce industry created significant demand for automated material handling equipment in order to maintain inventory operations. Further, the growing retail industry is raising the demand for deployment of inventory and its management which is also contributing to the automated material handling equipment market value in retail, third-party logistics, and e-commerce industry.
