The 2023-2028 World Outlook for Automated Material Handling

The 2023-2028 World Outlook for Automated Material Handling

This study covers the world outlook for automated material handling across more than 190 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region, and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

In this report we define the sales of automated material handling as including all commonly understood products falling within this broad category, such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), biochips, and nanosensors and sensing devices able to integrate electronics and sensors, chip-based detection devices, and sensors integrated into nanotubes, irrespective of product packaging, formulation, size, or form. Companies participating in this industry include ABB Group, Addverb Technologies, Advanced Automated Systems, Inc., Amber Industries, Ltd., Arcadis, Avancon, Bastian Solutions, Beumer, Conveyco, Daifuku, Dematic, Eiratech Robotics, Fives, Flexlink, GEEK+, GreyOrange PTE, Hanwha, Honeywell Intelligrated, Hyster-Yale Material Handling, IAM Robotics, Ifuture Robotics Private, JBT Corporation, John Bean Technologies, Jungheinrich, Kardex, KION GROUP, Knapp, KUKA, L3 Technologies, Legris Industries, Material Handling Systems, Mecalux, Murata Machinery, Naumann/Hobbs Material Handling, Oceaneering International, Oracle, Premier Tech Chronos, SAP, Scallog, Schaefer, Siemens Group, SSI Schaefer Group, Swisslog Holding, Taylor Material Handling & Conveyor, TGW Logistics Group, Toyota Industries, Vanderlande Industries, Viastore Systems, and Witron. In addition to the sources indicated, additional information available to the public via news and/or press releases published by players in the industry was considered in defining and calibrating this category. All figures are in a common currency (U.S. dollars, millions) and are not adjusted for inflation (i.e., they are current values). Exchange rates used to convert to U.S. dollars are averages for the year in question. Future exchange rates are assumed to be constant in the future at the current level (the average of the year of this publication's release in 2022).
