Digital Logistics’ Excellent Growth Highlights Critical Need for Warehouse Automation
In any business process, success in logistics eventually relates to increased efficiencies, smarter use of warehouse space, higher production rates, lower costs, better inventory control, increased customer and supplier satisfaction, and an improved customer experience. The very essence of a business process is to make sure proper delivery of its goods as well as service. This is only possible by effectively managing the logistics department. Managing logistics involves activities such as warehouse management, inventory control, raw material accumulation, and planning supply and demand. The global warehouse automation market is likely to receive strong tailwinds with this growing need. A majority of organizations are seeking ways to improve its logistics segment. Automating such process in one such way, these organizations are looking forward to. The global digital logistics market is expected to be valued at US$47 Mn by 2027 registering a CAGR of 22% during the forecast period. As a result, rise in awareness about the importance of logistics management paves the way for quality sales in the warehouse automation market.
Warehouse Automation Market Thrives on the Back of Skilled Labor Shortage
Over the past couple of years, there has been scarcity of resources in logistics and warehouse sector. According to US Bureau of labor Statistics, 244,000 workers in that segment quit their jobs in August 2022. This is attributable to the fact that major chunk of resources seeking white-collar secure jobs. This job trend has led to logistics companies relying on automation systems in their business process. E-commerce giant Amazon has been adopting automation in its warehouse segment to expedite the processing of orders and enable faster last mile delivery of good to its clients. As a result, labor shortage has indirectly influenced the growth of warehouse automation market.
Warehouse Automation Market Held Back by High Initial Investments, and Exorbitant Maintenance Costs
In the long run, adoption of warehouse automation processes such as automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) is expected to reduce labor cost and help in increase productivity. However, the initial investments in purchasing AS/RS are more expensive than hiring in-house personnel to operate them. For instance, installation of robotic cube storage amounts to US$1.5 Mn, whereas installation of unit-load ASRS would cost around US$1 Mn. Similarly, installation of multi shuttle and mini-load ASRS would cost US$1 Mn and US$750,000 respectively. Moreover, maintenance cost of these equipment annually turns out to be expensive specifically for small-scale industries or organization. Thus, high initial investments on installation as well as a maintenance cost is challenging to be endured by these organizations.
Warehouse Automation Market of North America Upbeat with Adoption Across SME Sector
With the biggest market share in 2020, North America dominated the industry. Numerous significant market participants as well as a number of small and medium-sized businesses are based in North America, which is encouraging for the expanding uptake of the warehouse automation technology in the local market. The market in the Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR between 2021 and 2029. The expansion of the warehouse automation market in the region may be linked to businesses in Asia Pacific nations like China, and India showing an increasing demand for cutting-edge technical solutions.
