Conveying Equipment Market Expands Through Smart Conveyor Solutions

The global conveying equipment market was valued at USD 54.88 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow to USD 71.57 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9% between 2024 and 2030. Growing reliance on automated systems that reduce production time and boost efficiency is projected to positively influence the overall conveying equipment market.

Key Market Trends & Insights

In 2023, the Asia Pacific region accounted for 46.9% of global market revenue, with China alone accounting for over 35% of that region’s share. The belt‐type segment held the largest portion across types at 24.0% in 2023. On the application side, warehouse & distribution led the market for that year, and among products, the unit-handling segment was dominant. Conveying equipment plays a critical role in industries such as mining and coal, food & beverage, automotive, airports and ports by transporting goods continuously in industrial and commercial settings. In the U.S., a major market driver is its advanced technology industries, skilled labour, and strong manufacturing and distribution sectors boosting demand from warehouse & distribution, automotive and food & beverage end-users. The trend toward automation in manufacturing—aimed at mass production and lower capital expenditure—is creating favourable conditions, especially in emerging economies with rising infrastructure expenditure. At the global level, conveyor systems are essential to multiple manufacturing and distribution channels, and the shift toward smart conveying equipment aligns with Industry 4.0 initiatives. A growing e-commerce sector, changing distribution channels from seller to consumer, and expansion in food & beverage production are all expected to create new opportunities in the conveying equipment market.

Market Size & Forecast

The market size for 2023 stands at USD 54.88 billion, with the 2030 estimate reaching USD 71.57 billion and a CAGR of 3.9% from 2024 to 2030. Asia Pacific remains the largest region in 2023. The role of conveying equipment in goods transportation across a range of industries catalyses this growth. The U.S. market is supported by its manufacturing and distribution infrastructure. The increasing automation in manufacturing, the surge in infrastructure investment in emerging markets, and the smart-technology adoption in conveyor systems are key growth drivers.
