Shuttle Systems Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Single Level Shuttle System, Multi-Level Shuttle System, Autonomous Shuttle Robot System, Others), By Payload Capacity (Less Than 20, 20-50 Kg, 51 Kg and Above) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032
KEY INDUSTRY INSIGHTS
The gradual shift from manual to automated warehouses operations is revolutionarizing the material handling and logistics industry. In such scenrio, the market for shuttle systems is gaining impetus owing to growing number of warehouses & distribution units across the globe. According to Euromonitor forecast for global e-commerce, around 2.3 billion square of new warehousing space will be required by 2035. For instance, in November 2019, Landmark Group invested around USD 0.27 billion to open its fully-automated Mega Distribution Centre (DC) at JAFZA, Dubai. The Mega DC is designed to process 300 million units per year and is installed with 1,300 ‘robotic multi shuttles’, 94 Lifts and 28 workstations. Similarly, labor scarcity manifests, manufacturers focus to reduce post-manufacturing operations costs to gain early return on investments and manage cash outlay is further contributing to the market growth. Besides, emergence of intuitive technologies embedded in shuttle systems mainly data-driven technologies, including for automated motion control, PC-based control systems, integration of intelligent and smart sensors for practical maintenance platforms, automated shuttle replacement and an intelligent diagnostic tool is likely to fuel the product demand in the future times. For instance, in September 2020, Swisslog introduced CycloneCarrier shuttle system to meet the rising e-commerce industry. This systems delivers a data-driven distribution center solution that cuts hardware costs 25% in warehouses. Apart from innovation, the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically slashed the economy leading to market ambiguity. In the short term, national lockdowns enforced e-commerce retailers, warehouses and distribution partners to shutdown its logistics hubs and stores. However, in the long term, surge in online spending, demand for warehouse space soar, massive investments from internet retailers and their delivery partners in anticipation of further sustained growth are the factors further responsible for driving shuttle systems market.
Key Market Driver -
• Evolution of various technologies embedded in shuttle systems • Rising labor cost across the globe is driving the market
