The Market Reports

Synopsis
The global market for Linear Transfer Systems was estimated to be worth US$ 658 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1128 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
When assembly processes call for the interlinking of complex processes, linear transfer systems are used for the assembly, testing and inspection of components, and in particular when a deep vertical range of manufacture is required. These systems can also be interlinked with rotary indexing systems to accommodate complex tasks. The various processing stations are arranged in series to form a chain. This linear chain can be easily expanded and/or contracted, and changes in the assembly sequence can be quickly achieved by exchanging or regrouping the station inserts. Materials, parts, and semi-finished products are physically moved to new locations for further processing. New real estate affords us space to break down a process into smaller, simpler steps and decrease complexity. This means tooling can be dedicated to a single task, there is more room for delivering additional components, and while the transfer time is not always productive with some optimization we see great benefit to total takt time. To put it in context the Model assembly time was reduced by half because of linear transfer automation.
