Type (Crescent, Floor, Overhead, Pallet, Roller)
In terms of type, the floor segment is anticipated to hold the notable revenue share by 2037. Usually, the floor conveyor belts are smooth and tend to run parallel to the ground. The main driver of the floor conveyor belt market is the manufacturing countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. It is common for floor conveyor belts to be flat and run parallel to the earth. For the transport of goods inside a facility, such as warehouses, distribution centers, or production facilities, they are applied in different industries. To move four-wheel carts in a loop, carrying large products or materials for assembly, powered by guiding rollers, the floor uses a chain, cable or linkage. For heavy objects with uneven lower surfaces, floor-mounted chain conveyors are an excellent choice. In order to fit the layout of the facility, optimize space utilization, and allow for a seamless flow of materials in areas where there is little or no space, floor conveyor belts can be adapted.
Belt Type (Heavy-Weight, Medium-Weight, Lightweight)
Based on belt type, the mediumweight segment in conveyor belt market is set to hold the highest share during the forecast period. For a wide range of applications where moderate strength and flexibility are required, medium-weight conveyor belts are appropriate. In industries such as production, packaging, and logistics for the transport of goods, parts, or materials within a facility or across different processes, they are frequently employed. The materials used for these belts are usually rubber, PVC, or fabrics that are reinforced with Polyester and Nylon. Amazon's fulfillment centers have up to 11 miles of conveyor belts, which carry products from the picking area to loading and packaging into single or multiload areas in a warehouse.
