Automated Material Handling Equipment Market Dynamics
Driver: Surge in demand for automated storage and retrieval systems in e-commerce industry due to COVID-19.
The e-commerce industry is experiencing a boom due to the unprecedented rise in the number of online shoppers post the outbreak of COVID-19. The enforcement of social distancing norms, lockdowns, and other measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has led consumers to opt for online shopping. This has resulted in a spike in business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce.
Restraint: High upfront cost of AMH equipment for SMEs
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) contribute a significant share to the economic development of a country. SMEs provide necessary raw materials and components to big enterprises. Therefore, material handling operations play a key role in the supply chain of these SMEs. However, high upfront costs required for installing AMH equipment keep SMEs from fully automating their supply chain activities. Small enterprises cannot afford automated systems and, hence, opt for traditional/manual material handling processes. Some large enterprises cut down the upfront costs by renting industrial trucks, purchasing equipment on lease, or buying second-hand equipment. This is expected to hamper sales of new equipment.
Opportunity : Increasing level of order customization and personalization
As the preference for customized and personalized product orders is increasing among online buyers, e-commerce companies are finding it difficult to process complex orders through manual processes. Moreover, customers expect the delivery of these customized orders at low prices and with the same delivery speeds as regular orders. The increasing popularity of customized orders has propelled manufacturers and warehouse operators to increase the efficiency and speed of their picking and sorting processes to achieve business success. Also, manual processing of customized orders increases the probability of errors due to the added complexity. AMH systems such as robotic pickers, ASRS, AGV, automated sorters, and conveyors can help handle customized orders at a faster rate, along with reducing error rates to a great extent.
Challenge: Production and revenue losses due to unwanted equipment downtime
The breakdown or failure of AMH equipment can have a significant impact on the overall earnings of companies. Breakdowns or failures delay the entire production process and result in production losses and a decline in plant performance. In capital-intensive industries such as automotive, metals & heavy machinery, and food & beverages, downtimes may cost an average of USD 22,000 per minute to the company. Therefore, such companies need to invest heavily in preventive maintenance of their AMH equipment to prevent downtime and ensure smooth functioning of equipment.
