COVID-19 Allows Increased Visibility for Motion Control Components Market

COVID-19 has disrupted the supply chain of manufacturing industries, worldwide, impacting the packaging industry as well. The discontinuation of production in multiple regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia, which account for a significant usage of motion control components, has affected the market severely. However, manufactures are witnessing innovation by leveraging technology such as to repurpose production and packaging lines quickly to deal with demands for consumers.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers are highly concerned about health and maintaining good hygiene practices. Therefore, to cater to the increasing demand for tissue papers and napkins, sales of fully automatic tissue making and converting machines are rapidly increasing across the globe. Besides this, paper & corrugated converting and packaging industries are also opting for automation in production lines and significantly demanding motion control components.

Need for Advanced Tissue Paper Machines Driving Motion Control Components Market

• Tissue papers are consumer-oriented products and thus, their success depends on manufacturer’s ability to attract consumers through high product quality at optimum and right price. Therefore, manufacturers of tissue products are investing to upgrade and expand production lines, which are capable of producing large quantities at high speed and deliver premium quality tissue paper products.
• This is expected to create opportunities for tissue machine manufacturers. For instance, Voith GmbH & Co. KGaA offers a wide variety of tissue machines such as TerraDry HC+, ProTect, and SkySoft to manufacturers, which can be customized as desired functionalities. This is expected to augment the demand for motion control components in tissue machines.
• Adoption of new technology-based motion control components eliminates the need to constantly find alternative components, which, in turn, can reduce maintenance time for the company through improved machine conditions

High Installation & Maintenance Cost and Low Removal Values of Motion Control Components to Restrict Market Growth

• Paper and paperboard machines are the biggest cost in a paper mill and similarly, motion control components, which are used in these machines, are capital intensive, as they control robust mechanism of applications
• Expertise is highly required for installing these components in machines that increases the cost of installation. Moreover, during the life of machine whenever need for repair or maintenance arises, the cost incurred is high.
• In case of duress, if the machine needs to be de-installed, applications are economically not feasible to remove and resale price is low, which can be a huge loss for manufacturers

Key Findings

• As per product, electro-mechanical motion control components remains prominent in the global market. These are expected to create incremental opportunity of nearly US$ 100 Mn during the forecast period.
• As application, most end users are inclining toward converting business where rewinders & slitters are mostly used. The segment is estimated to account for nearly 1/3^rd of the motion control components market by the end of forecast period.
• VRR witnessed that the motion control components are highly used in pulp & paper mills for paper machines. Therefore, by the end of 2030, these end-use industries are expected to account for around half of the market share.
