The market for conveyor system is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 4.7% from 2020 to 2027 and expected to reach the market value of around US$ 7,203.3 Mn by 2027.

A conveyor system is mechanical handling equipment that moves materials from one place to another. These are mostly used in applications associated with the transportation of heavy and bulk material. There are various kinds of conveyor systems available, basically, these are consist of a frame that supports either rollers, wheels, or a belt, on which material moves from one place to another. The overall system is powered by a motor, gravity, or manually. The basic features of a conveyor system include load capacity per unit length, maximum load capacity, conveyor belt system speed/rated speed, throughput, frame configuration, and drive location. Additionally, the available types of conveyors include belt, roller, powered roller, slat/apron, ball transfer, magnetic, bucket, chute, drag/chain/tow, overhead, pneumatic/vacuum, screw/auger, vertical, vibrating, walking beam, and wheel.
