[Research Report] The overhead cranes market is projected to grow from US$ 4,770.69 million in 2022 to US$ 7,221.24 million by 2028; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 7.2% from 2022 to 2028.

Overhead cranes are used in industries for material lifting in manufacturing or maintenance applications. Its functions include loading and unloading materials, controlling object movements in an assembly line, and moving containers. Additionally, an overhead crane manages tasks such as assembly, transportation, staging, storage, and warehousing. Furthermore, it improves overall efficiency and workplace safety, reduces downtime, and maximizes production. Overhead cranes are operated by a control pendant and remote pendant or from an operator cabin attached to the crane, which is managed electrically. In recent years, there has been a growing reliance on automation in several applications, from warehousing and manufacturing processes to distributions. Industry operations increasingly depend on automation due to the initiatives by the governments and manufacturers to boost the manufacturing sector. Moreover, overhead cranes are widely used for material lifting operations in warehouses and distribution centres. Therefore, the need for overhead cranes is rising in warehousing and distribution centres to improve overall workflow efficiency. 

The overhead cranes market in North America is segmented into Canada, the US, and Mexico. The US accounted for the largest share of the overhead cranes market in North America. The increasing adoption of smart designing and manufacturing in crane technology positively impacts the overhead cranes market growth. For instance, Konecranes provides compact cranes, which helps renovate expensive building. This technology will allow the operator to diagnose and analyze the crane and inform them beforehand to avoid any risks. Thus, adopting smart technologies and designing will boost overhead cranes market.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on North America Overhead Cranes Market

 

North America is an early adopter of emerging technologies due to favorable government policies to boost innovation and reinforce infrastructure capabilities. North America's manufacturing and automotive industry potentially influences the region’s economy. Unfortunately, the US was one of the worst-affected countries due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the crisis led to a cascading impact on multiple industries. The operations of the manufacturing and automotive industry were put on hold during the pandemic, which hampered the business dynamics in the first half of 2020. According to UNCTAD, the investment flow in North America declined by 46% to US$ 166 billion, and cross-border mergers and acquisitions dropped by 43%. 

However, since 2021, the manufacturing and automotive industries have been improving faster. Factories are churning out, and many manufacturing plants are nearly back to pre-pandemic production levels after a temporary shutdown during the pandemic.
