What is a Conveyor Belt?

A conveyor belt refers to material handling equipment designed to transport supplies, materials, and components in an efficient and cost-effective way in manufacturing facilities. It consists of a continuous moving strip or surface that is used for transporting objects from one place to another. It is manufactured from various materials, such as rubber or plastic compounds, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyester, styrene-butadiene rubber, and nylon fabric. It is highly versatile, lightweight, saves time and space, improves process quality, and requires less power. It is also capable of handling a wide range of bulk materials and is designed to handle capacities for any operation. It assists in transporting materials horizontally or along an inclined slope conveniently while reducing the need for manual labor. Besides this, it aids in enhancing the process of transporting materials from one place to another. As a result, a conveyor belt is widely employed in the healthcare, aviation, automotive, mining and metallurgy, oil and gas, and manufacturing industries across the globe.  

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused a severe problem for the conveyor belt industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries. It has also created a serious disturbance in the manufacturing process due to the shutdown of production plants. Additionally, there was a huge supply chain disruption on account of the shortage of raw materials and the unavailability of labor. The enforcement of social distancing and lockdown measures forced companies to downstream industrial production or temporarily pause output. In addition to this, the virus has threatened the logistical and transportation sector. Restrictions on on-road movement had impacted the conveyor belt equipment supply in the market. Moreover, imports and exports of raw materials to manufacture conveyor belts were slowed down. Apart from this, conveyor belts were widely utilized in the aviation industry, but the COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the market. Additionally, there was a sharp decline in the demand for conveyor belts due to stringent rules and regulations on domestic and international travel bans. Besides this, the mining and metallurgy operations were also operating at minimum capacity, where conveyor belts were used to segregate the metals and waste. In line with this, the imposition of lockdowns and curfews has negatively impacted the demand for conveyor belts in numerous industries across the globe.

Conveyor Belt Market Trends:

At present, the rising demand for conveyor belts in the manufacturing industry to streamline operations represents one of the key factors contributing to the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing adoption of conveyor belts due to the rising infrastructure development across the globe is offering a positive market outlook. Additionally, the increasing utilization of conveyor belts in the aviation industry to transport products and baggage timely, conveniently, and provide abrasion resistance and durability is bolstering the growth of the market. Apart from this, the rising demand for conveyor belts in the mining and metallurgy sector to segregate metals and waste is impelling the growth of the market. Moreover, the increasing emergence of automation in conveyor belts to increase productivity, improve quality, and reduce cost is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. In addition, technological advancements in the conveyor belts, such as single-row deep groove ball bearings that assist in optimizing performance capabilities, providing longer service life, and reducing downtime, are supporting the growth of the market. Furthermore, the increasing number of warehouses and distribution channels around the world is strengthening the growth of the market.
