[197 Pages Report] The Automated Material Handling Market size was estimated at USD 32.15 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 35.64 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 12.16% to reach USD 71.79 billion by 2030.
Automated material handling (AMH) utilizes advanced technology, machines, and software solutions to manage and move goods within a manufacturing or distribution facility. This approach promotes operational efficiency, responsiveness, and cost-effectiveness by automating repetitive manual tasks, thus enhancing the overall productivity of an organization. The AMH system incorporates automated equipment such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs), conveyor systems, robotics, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), sortation systems, palletizers, and warehouse management software. These equipment work in tandem to create a seamless flow of materials while minimizing human intervention in storage, retrieval, transportation, packaging, and inventory tracking processes. Automated material handling is revolutionizing the way businesses handle manufacturing and distribution processes. The automated material handling market thrives due to the growing demand for robots in manufacturing and warehousing facilities, accelerated adoption of automated solutions in the industrial sector, and rapid eCommerce growth. However, significant capital requirements for installation and maintenance, lack of skilled workforce, and unexpected downtime may pose challenges. Technological advancements such as integrating AI, 3D vision, IoT, and increasing deployment by SMEs present immense opportunities for this market growth. Organizations can leverage several benefits that increase productivity, cost-efficiency, and competitiveness within their respective operations by employing cutting-edge technological advancements. As global supply chains evolve rapidly, adopting AMH systems can be essential for companies striving to stay ahead of the curve.
