Asia-Pacific has been a prominent contributor to the growth of conveyors globally. The growing demand for conveyors across industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and e-commerce boosts the market's development. Manufacturing is one of the significant pillars of Asia-Pacific's economy and is undergoing a rapid transformation. It is reported that low-end manufacturing firms are moving to Southeast Asia to cut costs, including automotive and electronics manufacturing companies, which is expected to increase conveyors' adoption.

• According to the NDRC (National Development and Reform Commission), China's investment in the manufacturing industry grew significantly in the first eight months of 2019. From January 2019 to August 2019, the investment increased by 12% year on year, quickening 0.9% points from that in the January-July period. As per the 13th Five-Year Plan of Smart Manufacturing, China aims to establish its automation systems and complete its transformation by 2025. An increasing number of companies are adopting conveyors in the region to reduce production costs and maintain a competitive advantage over western economies. Such instances are expected to positively impact the automation systems such as conveyors in the region.
• Natural resources and their procurement create market significant opportunities for conveyors in the region, which automate the process flow. The vast landscape offers new avenues for the logistics parties to introduce conveyors to ease materials' transition. The airport, post, and parcel, and warehouse segments have boosted the demand for conveyors and sortation systems. Additionally, the manufacturing industry has recorded an increase in demand for an automatic sortation system integrated across the conveyor belt, which reduces the error rate, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the general warehouse logistic module, thus eradicating any associated supervision and loss.
• The region is witnessing significant merger and acquisition activities. For instance, in March 2019, Daifku completed the acquisition of Vega Conveyors and Automation Private Limited, a prominent material-handling vendor based in India.
