Web Guiding Market Summary

Web-guiding systems are used in the converting industry to position flat materials, known as webs, before processing. They are typically positioned just before a critical stage on a converting machine. Each type of web guiding system uses a sensor to monitor the web position for lateral tracking, and each has an actuator to shift the running web mechanically back on course whenever the sensor detects movement away from the set path. Actuators may be pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders, or some kind of electromechanical device. Because the web may be fragile — particularly at its edge — non-contact sensors are used. These sensors may be pneumatic, photoelectric, ultrasonic, or infrared. The system’s controls must put the output signals from the sensors in to a form that can drive the actuator.

According to the new market research report “Global Web Guiding Market Report 2023-2029”, published by QYResearch, the global Web Guiding market size is projected to reach USD 0.15 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period.

According to QYResearch Top Players Research Center, the global key manufacturers of Web Guiding include Maxcess International, Erhardt+Leimer, BST Group, Nexen Group, Mitsuhashi Corporation, TOYO MACHINERY, FMS Technology, Nireco, Coast Controls, Re Controlli Industriali, etc.

Market Drivers:

In the coming years the demand for web guiding in the developed regions such as USA of that is expected to drive the market for more advanced web guiding.

More people are consuming products such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals on-the-go. This is increasing demand for packaging solutions that are convenient and portable, with the flexible plastics sector one main beneficiary.

The automotive batteries segment is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to the increasing adoption of electric vehicles across several major and emerging economies in the world.

Restraint:

Technical limitations: The technical development of correction system machines is limited by technical factors such as sensor accuracy, actuator performance, and control algorithms. In some cases, existing technology may not meet the needs of a specific industry or application, requiring further R&D and innovation.

Cost limit: The cost of correction system machines is usually higher, including mechanical components, electronic components, software development, labor costs, etc. These high costs may limit product popularity and market penetration.

Market demand: The market demand for correction system machines may be affected by factors such as industry development status, economic environment, policies and regulations. If market demand is insufficient or highly volatile, it will limit the growth of the industry.

Standards and Specifications: The correction system machine industry may be restricted by standards and specifications, such as safety standards, environmental protection requirements, etc. Products need to meet corresponding standards and specifications before they can enter the market, which may increase the cost and difficulty of product development and production.

Opportunity:

Increased demand for automated production: As the degree of automation in the manufacturing industry continues to increase, the requirements for precise positioning and guidance in the production process are becoming higher and higher. Web Guiding technology can realize real-time monitoring and adjustment of continuous materials, meet the needs of automated production lines, and improve production efficiency and quality.

Promotion of digital transformation: With the advancement of Industry 4.0, many industries are undergoing digital transformation, and the collection, analysis and application of data in the production process have become increasingly important. Web Guiding technology can realize real-time monitoring and analysis of production data by integrating sensors and control systems, and provide data support for production process optimization.

Growing demand in emerging industries: With the rapid development of emerging industries such as electronics, new energy, biomedicine, etc., the demand for high-precision and high-efficiency production technology continues to increase. Web Guiding technology can meet the needs of these industries for precise control of the production process and help their sustainable development.

Increased environmental protection requirements: With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the requirements for resource utilization efficiency are also getting higher and higher. Web Guiding technology can help the production process achieve economical utilization of materials, reduce the generation of waste and defective products, and comply with environmental protection requirements.
