The Global Tunnel Automation Market size was USD 4.3 Billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 6.2 Billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period. A tendon is a fibrous tissue that is linked to a bone and is strong and flexible. The ligament is a fibrous band of connective fibres that keeps the bones together at the joints and supports the interior organs. The white ligament, which is rich in collagenous fibres, and the yellow ligament, which is rich in elastic fibres, are the two most common forms of ligament. A ruptured tendon is replaced with an artificial tendon, which is a strengthening fabric. Artificial tendons are made out of bio component fibres including polyacrylonitrile, polypropylene, PET (polyethylene terephthalate), and polyNaSS (polyamide sodium sulphate) (sodium styrene sulfonate). A team of researchers from the University of Utah's biomedical department have developed a method for 3D printing human tissue such as ligaments and tendons.

Regional Outlook

North America is expected to dominate the market share in 2020 of global tunnel automation market. The regional market has benefited from a considerably higher awareness of celiac disease among consumers in the region, as well as their increased desire to eat a healthy diet. According to a report published by Beyond Celiac, a research-driven celiac disease group, around 1% of the US population will be identified with celiac disease by 2020. This aspect has pushed consumers to avoid gluten-related health concerns by switching to gluten-free alternatives. Because bread is one of the most popular goods in the region, people are opting to bake it with gluten-free flours including amaranth, tapioca, sorghum, and others. Furthermore, the transition of the gluten-free baking category into a mainstream segment, as well as changing consumer attitudes toward the free-from category, are expected to support regional market growth. General Mills, The Kraft Heinz Company, and Kellogg's Company are some of the leading participants in the gluten-free food sector in the region, driving growth by offering a diverse range of gluten-free products and developing innovative product innovations to meet changing consumer expectations.
 

The Europe segment is anticipated to emerge as the fastest-growing region of global tunnel automation market over the forecast period owing to increase in millennial demand and a boom in marketing activity. The expansion of the gluten-free food business in Europe is partly fueled by improvements in distribution networks. This is due to an increase in investments by a number of small and midsized food production firms in emerging countries. Furthermore, factors such as rising consumer desire for convenience, rising disposable income, and changes in consumer behaviour in the region are projected to have a significant impact on the market.
