The United States automated material handling market size reached USD 15.23 Billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.70% between 2025 and 2034, reaching almost USD 35.07 Billion by 2034.
The United States as one of the world's most advanced economies, plays a pivotal role in driving the United States automated material handling market. The nation's dominant manufacturing sector, contributing 82% of the region's economic output, fuels demand for automated material handling systems. Technological innovation, including automation, AI, and machine learning, propels the industry forward, addressing the escalating labour costs and preference for advanced automated material handling solutions in North America.
The pandemic outbreak disrupted the material handling industry, delaying orders for new automated material handling systems due to partial operations within manufacturing facilities. While only a fraction of fulfilment centres in the US currently use automated systems, vendors have intensified efforts to enhance automated material handling products. For instance, StoecklinLogistics introduced dynamic MASTerStacker Cranes featuring improved performance and energy efficiency.
The need for automation across various industries continues to drive the automated material handling equipment market, aiming to enhance efficiency, reduce labour costs, and improve product quality. Material handling is crucial for modern production systems, impacting the flow of operations from manufacturing to disposal. Investing in appropriate equipment ensures smooth material flow, increased production speed, reduced damage risks, and enhanced worker safety.
The rise of smart factories further fuels the United States automated material handling market development, leveraging technologies like cloud-based software, IoT, and machine learning for real-time monitoring and optimisation. These technologies enable efficient process monitoring, equipment performance tracking, and waste reduction. Machine learning algorithms optimise material flow and system productivity, contributing to the industry's growth as manufacturers strive for efficiency and waste reduction.
