Industrial players are increasingly focusing on post-manufacturing operations and exploring cost-cutting opportunities in material handling through lean management principles. In order to increase customer satisfaction, they are also focused on speeding up cash flow. This has necessitated the adoption of automated material handling equipment and is expected to impact various aspects of material handling, including loading.
Moreover, automated material handling equipment is a part of the material handling industry. The market is driven by the fact that the material handling industry contributes significantly to the global industrial belt, and the adoption of automated material handling equipment has increased the demand for industrial belt drives. Therefore, the growing demand for automated material handling equipment will drive the growth of the global industrial belt market during the forecast period.
Mechanization of agriculture and farm operations in developing economies will play an important role in the global market. Industrial machines are to be adopted by developing countries, which have a high dependence on agriculture. The subsidization of farm equipment by governments is driving the adoption of farm equipment and related machinery in developing regions, which is positively influencing the respective markets.
However, the increase in investments in assets and improved cash flows among machinery owners will lead to the replacement of older equipment with new machinery. Therefore, such factors will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Applications such as conveyors, metal-cutting machines, textiles, steel processing, and packing require high precision in rotor movement with high speed, hollow shaft, and low vibration. Unwanted noise can also be created by worn belts and the whole connected system may be irreparably damaged. Belt drives cannot provide the exact synchronization between two shafts due to slippage, though synchronized timing belts are available.
However, end-users prefer electric motor integrated drive systems. High-precision motors such as stepper and servo motors provide controlled torque and precision in angular movement. These motors eliminate problems caused by induction and brushed DC motors, so as to make applications run smoothly. Factors such as the inefficiency in high-precision applications and difficulty in operating in harsh environmental conditions will negatively impact the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the material handling industry segment will be significant during the forecast period. The material handling segment accounts for a large portion of the market. This segment includes oil and gas, mining, medical, machine tools, and wood industries. Industrial belt drives such as Vnaught belts or Synchronous Belt Drives are used widely for the handling of materials.
