North American Material Handling Equipment Market size is estimated to cross USD 40 billion by 2027, according to a latest forecast report by Graphical Research.

Rising labor costs and workforce retention issues in several countries have propelled the market growth. According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), labor costs in the U.S. increased by 1.3% in the third quarter of 2021. Manual material transportation procedures are time-consuming and prone to mistakes. By automating multiple operations, material handling equipment can decrease the need for human intervention in industrial facilities. A growing number of industries including food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and e-commerce are replacing traditional manufacturing methods with semi-automated equipment.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic had moderately impacted the material handling equipment industry demand in 2020. Several companies experienced a revenue decline in the first half of 2020 due to supply chain disruptions. With relaxations on pandemic-related restrictions in the second half of 2020 coupled with the resumption of industrial activities, the global supply chains were streamlined. The market witnessed a sudden rise in automation in industrial activities in 2021, increasing the demand for material handling equipment that facilitates the fast transfer of large volumes of heavy products.

Increasing technological innovations and the adoption of automation in manufacturing activities in North America will support the market expansion. For instance, in February 2021, Next Generation Manufacturing Canada (NGen) contributed to the funding of a private sector collaboration led by MDA. The goal is to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI), Industry 4.0, data sharing, and collaborative robotics into highly adaptive industrial settings. Such initiatives will promote the usage of robots that can perform powerful, swift, and precise actions that are needed in the automobile and packaging industries. Robots are used to pick & place and for workpiece positioning applications in industrial environments at higher speeds.
