Japan Automated Material Handling Equipment Market by Product Type, System Type, Component, Application, and Industrial Vertical: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030

Japan Automated Material Handling Equipment Market Statistics 2030

The Japan automated material handling equipment market size was valued at $4,270.0 million in 2020 and is projected to reach $10,342.8 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 9.2% from 2021 to 2030. Automated material handling systems are computer-controlled systems that help the transportation of materials safely, on schedule, and at a reduced cost. They help to increase the efficiency of transportation, storage, and retrieval of materials. For instance, automated guided vehicles use embedded floor wires to steer autonomous vehicles to various locations in the plant. The importance of the automated material handling equipment industry in Japan is growing at an exponential rate because managing the manufacturing plant has become an essential operation.

The COVID 19 outbreak has affected the growth of the Japan automated material handling equipment industry owing to the lockdown measure in the countries and delay in manufacturing and production of Japan automated material handling equipment which is utilized in industries such as automotive, food, e-commerce, packaging, and others.

Robotics, wireless technologies, and autonomous vehicles are widely utilized to handle several items simultaneously while lowering the number of trips and time necessary for loading and unloading. These factors increase the demand for automated material handling systems in Japan. Furthermore, there is an increase in the need for automation in industries such as e-commerce, automotive, and food & beverages due to lower operating costs, enhanced supply chain processes, and lower labor expenses. However, high initial installation cost of automated material handling equipment, on the other hand, constitutes a significant challenge to Japan automated material handling equipment market development.

The novel coronavirus has rapidly spread across various countries and regions, causing significant impact on the lives of people and the overall community. It emerged as a human health problem and has now become a significant threat to global trade, economies, and finances. The COVID-19 pandemic has halted the production of many items in the Japan automated material handling equipment business, due to the continuous lockdown in major global countries. The players in Japan automated material handling equipment market share can afford a complete lockdown only for a limited time before having to change their investment plans. Furthermore, the number of COVID-19 cases are expected to reduce in the near future as a vaccine for COVID-19 has been introduced in the market. This is further expected to lead to the re-initiation of Japan automated material handling equipment companies at their full-scale capacities, which would help the Japan automated material handling equipment market to recover by the start of 2022. Manufacturers of equipment and machinery must focus on protecting their employees, operations, and supply networks to respond to their urgent emergencies and develop new working procedures after the cases of COVID-19 infection start to decrease.

Automated material handling machines help improve efficiency and minimize transportation time. Therefore, few Japanese key players are manufacturing advanced equipment which are quick and efficient for such applications. For instance, in June 2020, Tsubakimoto Chain Co. launched a new Zip Chain Lifter, the table type lifter that transmits lifting thrust directly through Zip Chains. This advanced machine operates 3 to 10 times faster than hydraulic lifters and reduces time consumption and labor expenses. Furthermore, it enables high-frequency operation, which helps save up to of 50% energy. These latest and advanced innovations in machines provide Japan automated material handling equipment market growth throughout the forecast period.

The Japan automated material handling equipment market is segmented on the basis of product type, system type, component, application, and industry vertical. By product type, the market is divided into automated guided vehicle, automated storage & retrieval system, automated crane, robotic system and automatic conveyor & sortation system. By system type, it is divided into unit load material handling system and bulk load material handling system. By component, it is classified into hardware, software, and services. By application, it is fragmented into assembly, packaging, transportation, distribution, storage, and waste handling. By industry vertical, it is categorized into groceries, general merchandise, clothing, food & beverages, parcel, wholesale, third party logistics, durable manufacturing, non-durable manufacturing, and healthcare.
