The warehouse automation market will grow more than 2x from $13 Billion in 2018 to $27 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 11.7% between 2019 and 2025. The growth of this market can be attributed to the growth in the e-commerce industry, emerging multichannel distribution channels, globalization of supply chain networks, increased adoption of micro-fulfilment centers, the emergence of autonomous mobile robots and rising need for same day delivery. The boom in e-commerce is compounding the major labor challenges faced by the $5trn global logistics industry. Not only are shipment volumes growing rapidly, but online retail also typically requires more logistical work per item than brick & mortar retail. Indeed, online purchases require individual picking packing and shipping, as opposed to the bulk transportation models of traditional brick & mortar retail.

Key Highlights

    --  Warehouse automation equipment suppliers and industry consultants expect
        broadly double-digit growth in sales driven by demographic changes,
        increased penetration in e-commerce and the advent of the IIoT, that
        will drive demand for data analytics and automated operations.
    --  Competitive landscape - There are 10 large and 10-20 medium-size
        companies operating in the material handling equipment space capable of
        delivering comprehensive automated warehouse solutions. Approximately
        seven of these companies can deliver equipment to fit all mechanised and
        automated tasks required in the order fulfillment process.
    --  Execution track record is key - The industry has a business model
        favouring long term relationships between equipment providers and their
        clients where reputation for execution excellence is essential to
        winning new contracts.
    --  Service model importance increasing - Over the time as the installed
        base of automated warehouse solutions grows, industry players expect an
        increase in revenues from services and maintenance, which would have a
        positive impact on profitability as the service business typically has
        15-20% operating margins, versus 3-5% margins for new equipment.

    --  Consolidation - The past 3-4 years have seen an increase in
        consolidation amongst material handling equipment providers as
        traditional players see acquisition of technology leaders as an
        increasingly attractive way of positioning themselves in response to
        changing market trends. On-cloud deployment of WMS to witness high
        growth during forecast period
