Dublin, June 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Automated Material Handling Equipment Market - Forecast to 2029" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global Automated Material Handling Equipment market is anticipated to grow from USD 33.3 billion in 2024 to USD 51 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 8.9% from 2024 to 2029.

The e-commerce industry is booming due to a surge in online shoppers, driving both B2C and B2B sales. To meet the escalating demand and ensure timely delivery, e-commerce companies are turning to automation, particularly ASRS systems. These systems streamline order processing by automatically bringing products to operators, enhancing efficiency, and managing diverse product SKUs. ASRS technology optimizes inventory management, improves order accuracy, and speeds up fulfillment, aided by advancements such as AI integration. This automation reduces errors, maximizes warehouse space, and boosts customer satisfaction, fueling the growth of the ASRS market in e-commerce.

ASRS to account for the largest share of the Automated Material Handling market in 2024

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) are projected to dominate the automated material handling market, claiming the largest share. ASRS technologies revolutionize warehouse operations by automating the storage and retrieval of goods, utilizing advanced robotics, conveyors, and software. Their ability to efficiently manage diverse product SKUs and lead times makes them indispensable in meeting the increasing demands of various industries, particularly e-commerce, manufacturing, and logistics. ASRS solutions streamline order processing, enhance inventory management, and ensure precise order fulfillment, thereby driving their widespread adoption and market dominance. Continuous advancements, such as the integration of AI and machine learning algorithms, ASRS systems are expected to further solidify their position as the leading solution for automated material handling in 2023 and beyond.

Third Party logistics (3PL) is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the Automated Material Handling market during 2024-2029

During the forecast period from 2024 to 2029, the Third-Party Logistics (3PL) segment is expected to undergo the highest CAGR. These 3PL providers play a significant role in driving advancements in the Automated Material Handling Equipment (AMHE) market by leveraging technologies to optimize supply chain operations. Businesses are increasingly turning to 3PL providers to outsource their logistics functions, allowing them to concentrate on core competencies while benefiting from the specialized expertise and resources provided by these companies.

3PL firms manage warehouses equipped with advanced technologies such as Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS), conveyor systems, and robotic pickers, facilitating efficient handling of goods, optimizing space utilization, and reducing labor costs. 3PL companies offer value-added services like kitting, labeling, packaging, and assembly, leveraging AMHE technologies to deliver customized solutions tailored to meet the unique requirements of each client. Consequently, 3PL providers are poised for robust growth in the Automated Material Handling Equipment market as they continue expanding their service offerings and adapting to the evolving needs of the industry.

Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the Automated Material Handling market market during 2024-2029

The Asia Pacific region is expected to lead in the Automated Material Handling Equipment market with the highest CAGR, propelled by several key factors. Rapid industrialization and urban expansion in the region are creating a demand for efficient material handling solutions to support the expanding manufacturing and logistics sectors. The booming e-commerce industry in Asia Pacific, driven by a growing middle class and increasing internet connectivity, is fueling the need for advanced AMHE technologies to meet the escalating demands of online retail. Governments in China, India, and Japan are actively promoting automation and Industry 4.0 initiatives to enhance productivity and competitiveness in manufacturing and logistics.

This involves offering incentives for the adoption of AMHE solutions such as Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS), and robotics. Economic growth and substantial investments in infrastructure projects, including the development of smart cities and logistics hubs, are accelerating the adoption of AMHE technologies to improve efficiency and optimize supply chain operations. With numerous manufacturing facilities and distribution centers in industries like automotive, electronics, and consumer goods, the increasing adoption of automation is expected to drive significant growth in the Asia Pacific AMHE market in the foreseeable future.
