Linear Motion Systems Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The increase in demand for automated material handling in the industrial sector is notably driving the linear motion systems market growth, although factors such as lack of product differentiation may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the linear motion systems industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Linear Motion Systems Market Driver

The increase in demand for automated material handling in the industrial sector is one of the key drivers supporting the linear motion systems market growth. Industrial players are increasingly emphasizing manufacturing operations and exploring cost-cutting opportunities in material handling through lean management principles. There is an increased emphasis on speeding up the cash cycle while improving customer satisfaction. This has necessitated the adoption of automated material handling operations, which is expected to impact various aspects of material handling, including loading. As conventional loading is labor-intensive, it requires personnel who can handle processes such as handling trailers, containers, forklifts, terminal tractors, and any other machinery. Such necessities of adopting automated material handling will drive market growth during the forecast period.

Key Linear Motion Systems Market Trend

The growing adoption of linear motion systems with electromechanical actuators is one of the key linear motion systems market trends contributing to the market growth. Modern industrial processes involve microprocessors and programmable controllers, which makes it easier to incorporate electromechanical actuators into the whole system. Though initial upfront costs associated with these actuators are high, end-users incur lower maintenance costs compared to those dealing with pneumatic actuators. Also, unlike pneumatic actuators, electromechanical actuators consume electricity only when they are in use. These factors have led to a high growth rate in the adoption of electromechanical actuators. Over the years, there has been a surge in the adoption of electromechanical systems that can allow for retrofits without any machine modifications. They also feature a graphical user interface (GUI) to enable easy change in product profiles and setting of parameters as per end-user needs regarding factory uptime. Vendors have also developed smart variations that leverage onboard electronics to accomplish operation and control functions while reducing actuator footprint. These factors have led to a high growth rate in the adoption of electromechanical actuators. This will lead to market growth during the forecast period.

Key Linear Motion Systems Market Challenge

The lack of product differentiation is one of the factors hindering the linear motion systems market growth. The market is characterized by intense competition among the major vendors that have wide product portfolios offering products at comparative prices. The forecast period is likely to see more efforts and investments by vendors in improving product quality along with devising strategies to attract and retain customers and offering extended warranties, replacement options, and product support services to attain a competitive advantage. In the forecast period, it is expected that there will be a significant switch from linear motion systems with individual components to systems that are linear modules. The interactions between system components such as linear bearing guides, ball screws, belts, and linear motor drives are expected to become more complex, making the efforts toward product differentiation more challenging. As hardware innovation becomes difficult, we expect that more vendors will focus on improving customer support and services to garner a greater market share during the forecast period.

This linear motion systems market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.
