North America Dominated the Market in 2023:
In 2023, North America held the largest share of 38% in the Material Handling Technology market. The U.S. dominates the material handling technology market on account of its flourishing e-commerce sector and adoption of automation technology which drives the market in North America. As per BuiltWith, the United States is home to more than 13 million of the 26.2 million e-commerce websites globally. Automation is critical in handling high volumes of orders efficiently and accurately. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, e-commerce accounted for 15.6% of total retail sales in the U.S. by the end of 2023. North American companies are increasingly investing in automated warehousing, robotics and AI based logistics solutions to support this growing sector to streamline operations, increase speed and increase accuracy.

Material Handling Technology Market: Key Takeaways

Growing Focus on Prevention of Workplace Injuries

A strong focus on reducing workplace injuries is a significant driver for the adoption of material handling equipment. By automating and mechanizing manual tasks, businesses can minimize the risk of accidents such as strains, sprains and back injuries that often result from lifting heavy loads, repetitive motions and poor ergonomics. According to the CDC, workers’ compensation costs for an average lost time injury for a shoulder is $20,000 and for back $25,000. Material handling equipment including forklifts, conveyors and robotic systems can significantly reduce the physical strain on workers, leading to a safer and healthier work environment. Additionally, these technologies can improve productivity and efficiency, further reducing the potential for accidents.
