Pneumatic Tube System Market by System Type, System Configuration (Multiline, Single-Line, & Point-to-Point), Function (Fully Automatic & Semi-Automatic), End User (Medical and Healthcare, Commercial, & Industrial), and Region - Global Forecast to 2024
The pneumatic tube system market is expected to grow from USD 1.9 billion in 2019 to USD 2.6 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 6.9%. The growth of the market is driven by factors such as demand for automation in material handling across industries, growing medical automation for reproducibility and accuracy, emerging e-commerce industry, and enhanced productivity enabled by improved supply chain processes. Thriving recycling and waste treatment worldwide and technological innovation with improved capabilities are expected to provide huge growth opportunities to players in the market.
“Multiline system to hold the largest share of the market, by system configuration, during the forecast period”
Multiline systems were initially used especially for hospitals owing to the high requirement of specimens. These systems are controlled by system-centered software, which is capable of executing multiple concurrent transactions while allowing system monitoring, error handling, and real-time transaction data retrieval. Multiline systems were designed for hospitals, but in recent times, these systems have become attractive to other end users as they cater to most requirements of pneumatic tube system market.
“Growing medical automation for reproducibility and accuracy to drive growth for nanomedicine in the market”
“Medical and healthcare” is expected to account for the largest share of the pneumatic tube system market during the forecast period. Though system initially was developed for limited applications of sending letters, it’s been around for nearly a century now. The sophistication and capabilities provided improved dramatically in the last decade. This, in turn, has increased the adoption of pneumatic tube system in medical and healthcare end-user segment.
“Pneumatic tube system market in APAC to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period”
The market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2019 and 2024. The high growth in this regional segment is majorly attributed to the regions' fast-growing e-commerce industry, the booming manufacturing sector, and numerous planned installations of systems, rising number of clinical research activities, and growing government expenditure on medical and healthcare facilities in the countries. Moreover, governments in APAC countries are increasingly emphasizing safety and security on production floors, which can be best achieved by the installations of these systems. In countries such as China, India, and Japan, the pneumatic tube system market is witnessing rapid growth owing to increasing investments by its end users to be installed at their facilities.
