Global Conveyor and Drive Belt Market –Overview
Chem Reports estimates that the global Conveyor and Drive Belt market was valued at USD xxxx in 2024 and is projected to reach USD xxxx by 2035, growing at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period 2025–2035.
Conveyor and drive belts are critical mechanical components used for material handling, power transmission, and motion control across a wide range of industries. Conveyor belts are primarily deployed for continuous material transport, while drive belts transmit mechanical power between rotating shafts in machinery and equipment.
Market growth is driven by rapid industrialization, expansion of manufacturing and logistics infrastructure, increasing automation in production facilities, and rising investments in mining, construction, and bulk material handling. Continuous innovation in belt materials, reinforcement technologies, and energy-efficient designs is enhancing durability, performance, and application flexibility.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Conveyor and Drive Belt Market
The COVID-19 pandemic had a short-term negative impact on the market in 2020 due to industrial shutdowns, halted construction activities, and disruptions in global supply chains. Demand from mining, cement, automotive, and heavy manufacturing sectors declined temporarily.
However, recovery was supported by the resumption of industrial operations, acceleration of warehouse automation, growth in e-commerce logistics, and renewed infrastructure investments. Post-pandemic, demand for conveyor and drive belts has stabilized at higher levels due to increased focus on automation, efficiency, and supply chain resilience.
