OPTICAL BELT SCALE MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global optical belt scale market size was USD 0.011 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 0.015 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period.

The optical belt scale is used to measure and report the flow rates continuously coupled with the totalized amounts of material that are supposed to be transported through a conveyor belt. By weighing the belt load and determining the belt speed, one may determine the weight of the material being conveyed. Depending on the needs of the customer and the characteristics of the material being conveyed, the conveyor belt's length and material may vary. For consumption and throughput measurements in manufacturing plants, internal discharge and supply balance, load limit signaling, batching, and control of metering hopper, belt scales are utilized in both production and logistics.

The volumetric material measuring belt scale from H-Sensortechnik blends innovation with accuracy. The Optical Belt Scale is the perfect alternative to conventional conveyor belt scales. It eliminates their drawbacks in the measurement of aggregate, soil and mulch, wood and biomass, garbage, and recycling. Through visualizations and a BI dashboard delivered with the help of Sensor Track, which is an information management tool used in tracking data, metrics, and KPIs related to the production performance and advanced analytics material throughput, Optical Belt Scales offers an operational insight to support lower costs and higher yields.

COVID-19 IMPACT

"Supply Disruption Affected Market Growth during the Lockdown"

The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The pandemic impacted every market and the machinery and equipment sector was also not an exception. The spread of COVID-19 resulted in stringent rules and guidelines to avoid the virus spread. These guidelines included shutting down the manufacturing industries, which affected the growth rate of the market. Disruption in manufacturing and supply chain was noticed. The workforce witnessed a downfall due to their health concern. Even though the pandemic supplemented most of the workforce to work from their homes, the limited budget deemed the work rate. The demand for machinery and equipment witnessed a downfall due to low manufacturing and supply.
