Market Overview
The European automated material handling market is expected to register a CAGR of over 8.7% during the forecast period 2019 – 2024. Europe has been the most prominent adopter of industrial automation, owing to increasing investments in the Industry 4.0 revolution. According to CBI Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Europe accounts for more than one third of the global Industry 4.0 investments. Western and Northern Europe are its main markets; especially Germany, where the term was originally coined, and which is a frontrunner.
Northern Europe is traditionally the most developed market regarding the use of automation in warehouses. Not only the high labor costs but also special attention to the working conditions at the factory has prompted the adoption of sophisticated and advanced automation. In Scandinavia, System Logistics has supported important clients in the food and beverage sector in the efficient management of warehousing, picking, and material handling operations.
Moreover, in warehouses across Europe, man and machine are increasingly working more closely together, and a lack of efficient and skilled manpower could accelerate automation further, according to JLL, an investment management company.
As Industry 4.0 is expected to grow rapidly in the region, manufacturing will become increasingly reliant on middle- and high-skilled workers. The need for skilled operators to enable the proper functioning and maintenance of AMH systems could potentially be a major impediment, although AMH vendors have been trying to offset this issue by offering periodic maintenance. In addition to higher initial costs, the need for skilled workers to perform a wide range of activities throughout the shelf life of the vehicles is widely considered to be a major concern for this market.
Moreover, the labor market report of the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (DIHK) found that in Germany, the labor shortage could hit the brakes on growth in Europe’s biggest economy. Almost every second of the 24,000 companies surveyed in Germany has difficulty in filling vacancies. Around 1.6 million jobs cannot be filled currently, according to DIHK.
Scope of the Report
Automated materials handling (AMH) refers to any automation that reduces or eliminates the need for humans to check-in, check-out, sort material, or to move totes and bins containing library material. The mechanical equipment used in AMH systems include check-in machines, sorters, conveyors, singulators, stackers and unstackers, totes, bins, trolleys, and tote carriers.
