AUTOMATED MATERIAL HANDLING MARKET DRIVERS:

Growing demand for e-commerce is expected to accelerate the automated material handling market.

There is consistent expansion witnessed in the e-commerce sector that has significantly increased the growth of efficient automated material handling. Further, with the rapid adoption of e-commerce retailing and the rise in automation, the utilization of automated systems like automated vehicles and conveyors is growing as they offer efficiency and productivity. The e-commerce automated material handling incorporated storing, receiving, and distributing various goods and products. The rise of the e-commerce industry in the world is anticipated to boost the market share of automated material handling.

According to the ITA report, there is a consistent rise in the global B2B e-commerce industry which was worth U$21,019 billion in 2022 and will grow to account for US$36,163 billion by 2026. This rise in the e-commerce expenditure of the world is potentially increasing the flow of packages and parcels, propelling the demand for automated material handling for timely and fast processes.

Additionally, online retailers need quick and accurate order packaging and delivery, which could be achieved through efficient material handling operations, and automation in the sector helps to reach accuracy in fulfillment without errors. Automated material handling systems, such as automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), automated conveyor belts, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), have become essential tools for achieving this objective by the market.

Moreover, according to the data from the ISB Institute of Data Science and Ecom Express approximately 125 million consumers shop online in India, and about 84 million additional shoppers will be included in this by 2025. Further, fashion and accessories are the biggest category with a 60% share among other materials. This rise will fuel the larger number of online orders and the need for efficient supply chain infrastructure, hence providing potential opportunities to utilize automated material handling equipment for different facilities such as assembly, and packaging functions across multiple industries.

Automated Material Handling Market Geographical Outlook

• The Europe region is anticipated to hold a considerable automated material handling market share.

The European region is expected to show considerable growth due to the growing deployment of material handling solutions along with the growing footprint of warehouses and logistics, which are expected to drive a high demand in the market.
