Due to rapid urbanization, there is an underlying demand for power and minerals in China. The power, mining, and manufacturing industries are highly dependent on conveyor equipment such as conveyor belts, rollers, overhead conveyors, and pallet conveyors for the production, storage, and transfer of materials. Therefore, an augmented demand from power, mining, and manufacturing industries will bolster the growth prospects of the conveyor belt market in China over the forecast period.

With the recent advancements in production technologies, the market for conveyor belts is expected to have a positive outlook until the end of 2020. Due to the recent technological advancements, textile conveyor belts are gradually replacing the steel cord conveyor belts. However, textile conveyor belts are more expensive than steel conveyor belts. Therefore, many manufacturers are developing low-cost conveyor belts with better technology and strength. For instance, manufacturers are developing bulletproof aramid fabric conveyor belts that are up to 40% lighter than conventional steel belts. However, steel belts are more durable and have a longer life span than any other type of conveyor belt. The extended lifespan and durability of steel conveyor belts are expected to drive the market growth for conveyor belts in China.
