Automated material handling equipment can automate the most boring, dull, and risky tasks in the production line of various industries. These equipments are used by the end users to enhance the quality, flexibility, throughput, and consistency coupled with reducing ergonomic hazards for workers. It helps in improving the efficiency of the production line and increases the customer satisfaction by providing quality products on time. Automated material handling equipment provides several advantages such as increases profit, time saver, enhances production quality & quantity, decreased labor costs and improved efficiency. Increasing demand for incorporation of automation and modernization in manufacturing processes, growth in the aviation industry and e-commerce industry, and demand for lucidity in supply chain and pliability in warehouse operations are few of the factors projected to drive the growth. Increase in industrial and infrastructural activities to meet the demand from the ever-rising population, is expected to bode well for market growth. Manufacturing and other industries constantly attract large amounts of foreign capital, therefore augmenting the production activities. Governments around the world are improving their infrastructural development to build new airports, rail networks, seaports and power plants, and upgrade the existing ones. All these activities are made easy by using material handling equipment such as conveyors, forklifts and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). Furthermore, increasing employer inclination towards employee or worker safety is also projected to boost the growth of the automated material handling market. Therefore, due to the increase in industrial activities, industrialists have become significantly responsible for worker and workplace safety to maintain their goodwill in the market. As majority of companies are inclining towards automation to persist the competition, support efficiency in the warehouse, and reduce costs, they are making efforts to build a safer working environment for employees. Hence, improving working and safety conditions is an essential part of their industrial activities, which is anticipated to remain a key growth avenue for this market. Automated material handling equipment provides numerous benefits such as increases profit, improves production quality & quantity, time saver, reduced labor costs and enhanced efficiency. It has various applications in different industries such as automotive, metals & heavy machinery, food & beverages, chemical, healthcare and aviation etc. Therefore, these factors fuel the growth of automated material handling equipment market. However, the high initial cost of automated material handling equipment for SMEs will hamper the market growth.

Furthermore, due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, enactment of social distancing rules by governing agencies and the increasing adoption of remote working models, the players of market are also concentrating on automating and digitizing the supply chains. This, in turn, is projected to create opportunity for the market growth.
