LIGHTWEIGHT CONVEYOR BELTS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global lightweight conveyor belts market size was USD 6.2 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 8.24 billion by 2033, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2% during the forecast period.

Lightweight conveyor belts are used in an industrial component that help simplify the process of carrying multiple materials and objects from one place to the other place in the industrial environment. It works with the help of two more pulleys. The conveyor belts rotate around the transported objects throughout the predefine conveyor belt’s area. The rising urbanization and industrialization globally, especially in developing countries. The demand for the product is increasing due to higher demand from the industrial sectors, which is surging exponentially. 

Two types of lightweight conveyor belts are present in the market: single-layered and multi-layered. These belts are used in various industrial applications during conveyor belt production. Whereas, many industries prefer using single-layered belts to overcome the risk of air inclusion in the multi-layered counterparts, which is anticipated to lead to the decline in life span and efficiency of the conveyor belts. The industries are focused on restoring the customized options of the product that can more precisely suit some specific applications. 

COVID-19 IMPACT

Shut Down of Industries Due to Strict Laws Affected Growth Rate

The COVID-19 epidemic has affected various global industries' business process operations. Lockdown measures taken in various nations to stop the spread of COVID-19 are anticipated to have a negative effect on several end-user businesses. In the second quarter of 2020, the exponential increase of positive COVID-19 cases in the nations had a negative effect. Additionally, it might take the sector two years to resume its prior growth rate. The machinery and equipment sector witnessed a severe downfall in the demand as manufacturing industries were shut which ultimately reduces the demand for equipment. 

LATEST TRENDS

Rapidly Expanding Food and Beverage Industry to Foster Market Growth

The food and beverages industry relies on industrial lightweight conveyor belts, rollers, and mini conveyor systems as they are durable and escalate the daily processes. Using these systems reduces human contact, decreases material handling, and makes the entire process efficient and safer. It also reduces the chances of accidents that used to occur between idlers, tensioners, rollers, pulleys, and mechanical devices. Using lightweight conveyor belts ensures quality and food safety. These factors are anticipated to propel the lightweight conveyor belts market growth.
