Global Vertical Lift Module (VLM) Market Size

The Global Vertical Lift Module (VLM) Market will grow from USD 1.20 billion in 2021 to reach USD 2.11 billion in 2026, with a CAGR value of 8.52%. Vertical lift modules play a significant role in smart intralogistics. End-user preferences have changed from using VLMs as a simple space management tool to a system that is gaining operational benefits from its connected systems, causing substantial disruption in intralogistics. This is one of the most important aspects influencing the vertical lift modules (VLM) market.

According to the revised standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (2019), all employees across all industries in both developed and developing regions must wear safety fall protective gears irrespective of the fall distance. As a result of stringent policies for occupational safety, the market has witnessed an increasing demand for vertical lift modules. Vertical lift elevator/belt conveyor module is used to lift food containers and empty food cans & bottles for the line production process in the food & beverage industries.

A large number of food and beverage industries are hampered by obsolete carousels that were once used to facilitate picking up products but are now being replaced with vertical storage lift modules. These solutions have significantly improved facility cube usage by allowing enterprises to operate smoothly despite space constraints. VLM is an ergonomic design with trays that can handle over 1,000 pounds of food items. The overall VLM height ranges from 15 feet to 75 feet, in order to accommodate the industry's huge inventories. Also, modula system logistic is an automated storage and retrieval system built for a variety of industries and applications to optimize lifting services. The system logistic modula helps in warehouse management too.

Hence with the increasing adoption of vertical lift modules in numerous industries which includes aviation, healthcare, and automotive among others, increasing warehouse rentals, and the increasing focus on automated storage solutions, the market for VLM will be growing the fastest from 2021 to 2026. The rising use of computer software in vertical lift modules and increasing usage of height sensors in new modules are factors that are likely to improve demand for vertical lift modules.

Vertical lift module trays are usually utilized for heavy products and provide dynamic storage and work on automated machines. Hence, the increased emphasis on automated storage across industrial sectors is expected to drive demand for vertical lift modules significantly. Furthermore, increased demand for solutions and the integration of robots with VLM machines will provide new opportunities for the vertical lift module market.
