Insight by Technology
Based on the technology segment, the Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) segment is expected to hold the largest market capture in the global market in 2020. The AS/RS system mainly offers exceptional benefits to the warehouse managers, such as lowering costs related to labor and energy while also promoting the usage of space and avoiding product damage.
The deployment of these systems in warehouses has been further lessening the amount of human intervention in the system. Such inherent benefits provided by AS/RS are ensuring a captivating ROI in warehousing and distribution technology and contributing towards the segmental growth on a global scale. Market players are also stepping up to make myriad developments in the AS/RS system to improve its capabilities to perform automated tasks efficiently, which eventually boosts segment growth across the world.
On the contrary, the autonomous mobile robots segment is expected to register a considerable share in terms of revenue in the global market. One of the key advantages of using autonomous mobile robots is supporting leaner operations and becoming more dynamic. These robots can also support navigation and operate tasks safely within these environments.
Insight by Application
In 2020, the e-commerce segment was expected to witness a large revenue size in the global market, owing to the extensive implementation of warehouse automation in e-commerce facilities because of the rise in vendor awareness regarding the robotics of distinct aspects of e-commerce fulfillment. E-commerce applications are also gaining wide popularity in the warehouse automation market due to the increasing e-commerce activities and the growing proliferation of robotics technology in e-commerce warehouses.
Therefore, such benefits offered by warehouse automation to e-commerce fulfillment centers are projected to gain a significant profit share that accelerates the segmental growth during the forecast period.
On the flip side, the grocery segment is expected to gain a significant CAGR in the global market during the forecast period. The grocery distribution center is the most labor-intensive part of the retail industry. Higher automation is driven by the growing concept of online grocery retailing; micro-fulfillment centers are going to be the largest opportunity in the market.
It is generally led by delivery robots, ASRS, and micro-fulfillment players, including Exotec, Fabric, AutoStore, Takeoff Technologies, Nuro, Attabotics, Dematic, Tele Retail, Starship, KiwiBot, and Robby Technologies. This is anticipated to create a higher demand for warehouse automation in commercial spaces and significantly contribute to the rapid segmental growth over the foreseen period.
Geographic Overview
Geographically, Europe is leading the global market in 2020 and is estimated for the largest share in terms of revenue. The regional government is drafting several industrial automation policies for effectively managing the material handling at warehouse facilities. Furthermore, the rise in the growth of e-commerce and packaging-related activities and the growing level of disposable income further contribute to the market growth.
Whereas incumbent warehouse automation vendors are continuously advancing their product offerings, the active manufacturers are intensifying their product portfolio to better serve the market. For instance, in May 2021, EU4Digital introduced an eCommerce pilot for the robotic exchange of eCommerce data through the virtual warehouse. It supports retailers, marketers, delivery operators, and customs to place the product for supply across the abroad and cross-border delivery. Such initiative is expected to contemplate the growth of the warehouse automation market in the region.
