The Global Warehouse Automation Market is expected to witness an exponential CAGR of ~12% during the forecast period (2021–2027). This is mainly due to the rising focus of enterprises on industrial automation and improving workplace safety coupled with substantial growth of the presence of a huge intralogistics sector in emerging economies. These systems provide efficient, cost-effective movement of products and materials, within predetermined, safe parameters – making them ideal for use in warehouses, in any instance where repetitive, time-efficient operations are critical. Warehouse robots can help e-commerce companies to achieve their targets of faster delivery without compromising the quality of packaging. Since the e-commerce and manufacturing industry is growing at a prominent growth rate, the market for warehouse automation is also expected to grow at an influential growth rate. Furthermore, major players in the market are focusing on the launch of new and advanced products to improve shipping speed and accuracy for organizations integrating systems in their facilities.
COVID-19 slowed the overall growth of various industries including manufacturing, and automotive, and disrupted the supply chain and logistics sector across geographies. The countries were forced to implement lockdowns during the first half of 2020. The manufacturing industry witnessed a significant drop in earnings and income as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Business operations saw a large reduction in workforce, resulting in an overall loss in manufacturing activity. However, to tackle the challenges of a restricted workforce amid the lockdowns and reduce the chances of transmission of COVID-19 in labor-intensive industries, major stakeholders in the ecosystem started integrating automation technologies systems and solutions in warehouses, to increase operational efficiency and meet their respective growth targets.
Daifuku Co. Ltd., JBT Corporation, KION GROUP AG, Jungheinrich AG, KNAPP Group, Toyota Industries Corporation, KUKA AG, Oceaneering International Inc., Fritz SCHÄFER GmbH & Co KG, and Scott Technology Limited are some of the key players in the market. Several strategic measures have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.
