With the increasing dependence on automation, conveyors are going to be an essential part of automotive and warehouses segment over the forecast period which is resulting into growth of roller and conveyor market.

Conveyor systems are used to move the products from one step of manufacturing process to another. Handling large amount of goods is difficult task for the worker especially in case of heavy industries. Conveyor systems helps to improve the manufacturing process effectiveness and efficiency. It also helps provide safety to the workers at workplace. Conveyor belt are also used at airports. Rising in number of people opting for air travel is rising year after another. This has pushed governments of many countries to expand airports to meet the growing need of passengers. This is resulting into installation of number of conveyor systems to improve speed of baggage collection for arriving passengers.
