Global Rubber Conveyor Belt Market: Overview

Since transportation of large quantities of heavy products and materials is required across innumerable industries including mining, cement, stone crushing, road construction, timber, power plants, compost & recycling, and mineral processing plants, plenty of time and labor are significantly saved when rubber conveyor belts are used. Labor-intensive tasks can be simplified as rubber conveyor belts can be used to transport limestone, crushed rock, sand, cement, iron ore, wood, ashes, slag, and the like. They are also deployed as key components in warehousing and automated distribution. Most general duty rubber conveyor belts are abrasion-resistant and gouge-resistant. They are designed to deliver high performance in a specific end-use environment.

Global Rubber Conveyor Belt Market: Growth Factors

One of the foremost factors aiding the expansion of the global rubber conveyor belt market is an upsurge witnessed by the power generation, manufacturing, and mining industries. These heavy-duty sectors need to keep abreast of novel technologies in order to maintain their productivity while at the same time cutting down on cost, labor, and time. As rubber conveyor belts can significantly reduce problems while handling raw materials by transferring them quickly without any wastage, manufacturers of a wide range of heavy goods are utilizing rubber conveyor belts to reduce operation time and ensure a smooth workflow.

Moreover, these products are specially designed to carry hot and oily materials. They are heat-resistant and can handle a temperature of nearly 250 degrees Celsius. Rough top rubber conveyor belts are capable of effectively transporting oily material such as heavy-oil-treated coal. Metallurgical industries, coal & mining, and power generation industries are some areas that necessitate the use of flame-resistant materials as inflammable materials can lead to accidents and damage, especially in enclosed areas such as coal mines.

Several market players also offer weather-resistant and acid-resistant rubber conveyor belts. This is expected to generate increased demand for rubber conveyor belts in the coming times. The low costs of these products and customizability are also some of the key growth factors of the rubber conveyor belt market.

Global Rubber Conveyor Belt Market: Segmentation

The global rubber conveyor belt market can be segmented on the basis of type, material, end-user, and region.

By type, rubber conveyor belts can be classified into oil & grease-resistant, flame-resistant, heat-resistant, chemical-resistant, and abrasion-resistant. Heat-resistant rubber conveyor belts are likely to represent a huge chunk of the market share during the projected timeline.

Manufacturing, power generation, coal & mining, logistics, airlines, and construction are the main end-user segments of the global rubber conveyor belt market. The power generation segment is likely to dominate the global rubber conveyor belt market, with the demand for electricity snowballing.

Solid woven belts and textile-reinforced conveyor belts are the two major segments on the basis of material. Of these, the textile-reinforced conveyor belts might exhibit vast demand over the forecast period.
