Key vendors to focus on geographical expansion to gain market shares.
Technavio, a company that develops over 2000 pieces of research every year and covers more than 500 technologies across 80 countries, has announced the top five vendors for the global linear motion systems market in their latest research report. This report also lists eight other prominent vendors who are expected to contribute to this market’s growth between 2017-2021.
Competitive vendor landscape
The global market for linear motion systems comprises of both OEMs and system integrators, designing standard and customer-specific products, respectively. The key players in the market are mostly based out of Europe and North America, while system integrators are located across the world. In the current market scenario, vendors are constantly investing in technology to develop inventive and application-specific linear motion products that can be used in end-user industries with enhanced steadfastness. The scope of linear motion products is also improving with time as industries like food and beverage, agriculture, and automotive are deploying linear motion systems to address the productivity requirements.
According to Bharath Kanniappan, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on robotics, “Mergers and acquisitions both, among vendors and vendor-suppliers are expected to emerge as a key trend during the forecast period. This is accreditable to expansion activities among as vendors in an attempt to explore new markets as well as overcome raw material price fluctuations.”
