Key Nations Driving the Automated Material Handling Equipment Market Across Manufacturing, E-commerce, and Smart Logistics Sectors, Fact.MR Analysis

ROCKVILLE, MD, UNITED STATES, July 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global automated material handling equipment market is expected to grow from USD 48.5 billion in 2025 to USD 95.4 billion by 2035, registering a CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period. This growth is fueled by increasing automation in sectors such as e-commerce, automotive, and pharmaceuticals, as businesses prioritize efficiency, precision, and workplace safety.

Key technologies—including automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), conveyor systems, and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)—are witnessing rising adoption. Additionally, the integration of Industry 4.0, labor shortages, and government-led manufacturing incentives in regions like Asia-Pacific and North America are significantly contributing to market expansion.

The growth of the automated material handling equipment market is being fueled by both structural industry changes and rapid technological innovation. A key driver is the booming e-commerce and omnichannel retail sector, which demands faster, more accurate, and scalable warehouse operations. Major players like Amazon and Alibaba are heavily investing in automation technologies to meet growing consumer expectations and shorten delivery times.
