The global pneumatic conveying systems market size was estimated at around USD 32.61 billion in 2023 and it is projected to hit around USD 57.52 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.84% from 2024 to 2033. The pneumatic conveying systems market is driven by an ongoing trend towards automation in manufacturing processes, rising industrialization, diverse industry applications, and operational cost savings.
The global pneumatic conveying system market has witnessed substantial growth in recent years, driven by the escalating demand for efficient material handling solutions across diverse industries. Pneumatic conveying systems have emerged as integral components, offering a streamlined approach to transport bulk materials, powders, and granules in a highly efficient and cost-effective manner.
The pneumatic conveying system market is experiencing robust growth, propelled by several key factors. The escalating demand for efficient material handling solutions across diverse industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, is a primary growth driver. As global industrialization continues to expand, the adoption of pneumatic conveying systems becomes integral to enhancing productivity and ensuring seamless material transfer. Furthermore, the pursuit of automation in manufacturing processes has contributed significantly to the market's upward trajectory. Pneumatic conveying systems, with their ability to automate material transfer and minimize human intervention, align perfectly with the contemporary need for streamlined and efficient operations. Stringent safety and environmental regulations further underscore the importance of these systems, as they play a crucial role in minimizing spillage and dust emissions, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. The market is poised for continued growth as it embraces advancements such as the integration of IoT and Industry 4.0 technologies, emphasizing smart sensors and data analytics for enhanced system monitoring and predictive maintenance. Additionally, a growing focus on energy efficiency is expected to drive innovation, making pneumatic conveying systems more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
The pneumatic conveying systems market is categorized based on its operating principle into dilute phase conveying and dense phase conveying. In 2023, the dilute phase conveying segment held the largest revenue share of 74%. This segment is poised to continue expanding at a CAGR of 5.9% throughout the forecast period.
Pneumatic conveying systems employing the dilute phase operating principle are projected to witness substantial growth in the coming years. These systems find extensive use in industries where continuous conveying is essential, and concerns about material deterioration and abrasion are minimal. Dilute phase pneumatic conveyors are particularly well-suited for transporting low-density, non-fragile, and non-abrasive materials. Recognized for their cost-effectiveness, versatility, and simplicity, they are gaining popularity, especially in high-pressure settings.
On the other hand, the dense phase conveying segment is expected to experience a remarkable CAGR of 27.05% during the forecast period. Pneumatic conveying systems operating on dense phase principles represent the ideal solution for transferring friable or abrasive materials at low or high rates. These systems operate at low speeds and air volumes, preventing the breakdown of fragile materials and mixtures, thus making them indispensable across various industries. Consequently, the demand for dense phase conveying systems is anticipated to exhibit significant growth in the forecast period.
The pneumatic conveying systems market is segmented based on technology into positive pressure, vacuum, and combination systems. In 2023, the positive pressure system segment had the largest market share of 50% and is expected to demonstrate growth throughout the forecast period. This expansion can be attributed to the positive pressure systems' capability to operate at higher pressures compared to other conveying systems. Moreover, their suitability for transporting heavy materials over extended distances stands out as a key factor expected to propel market growth in the forecast period.
Vacuum systems, employing high vacuum pumps that are easy to design and require minimal maintenance, are anticipated to register a CAGR of 5.83% over the forecast period. This projection is driven by the system's capacity to utilize vacuum pressure for precise material positioning at desired stack points, along with its ability to convey materials from multiple sources to a single destination
The pneumatic conveying systems market is categorized by end-use into ceramic, pharmaceuticals, food, rubber and plastic, cement, mining (mineral), and others. In 2023, the food industry generated the maximum market share of 29%. Pneumatic conveyors are becoming increasingly popular in this sector due to their numerous advantages, including high reliability, enhanced productivity, reduced risk of material spillage, low energy consumption, and cost-effectiveness in both operations and maintenance.
The residential segment is poised for substantial growth during the forecast period. The surge in disposable income, coupled with lower housing interest rates in emerging economies, is expected to positively impact market expansion. Furthermore, the rapid urbanization observed in tier-II cities across emerging economies is projected to drive the demand for architectural services, particularly in the context of smart city projects. As architects seek to better manage these projects, the demand for services such as urban planning and project management is anticipated to rise.
In 2023, Europe region dominated the market with the largest market share of 31%. The regional market is poised for significant growth throughout the forecast period, driven by an increasing demand for hygienic methods within the food transfer and production industry. The Food Industry & Drug Administration (FDA) has implemented various regulations addressing indirect contaminants in food, which is expected to positively impact the pneumatic conveying systems market in the region.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR of 6.35% over the forecast period. The thriving pharmaceutical industry in the Asia Pacific region is projected to contribute to the increased demand for pneumatic conveying systems. The region has witnessed a substantial rise in facilities dedicated to the production of biosimilars and vaccines, particularly in economically developing nations. Governments in these countries have actively promoted practices that enhance healthcare facilities and the overall development of associated industries. This proactive approach has created a notable surge in growth opportunities, attracting pharmaceutical manufacturers to invest in emerging countries.
