According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Smart Shelves Market is accounted for $3.32 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $14.33 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 23.2% during the forecast period. Smart shelves that deals with technologically advanced shelving systems used in retail environments. Smart shelves incorporate various sensors, Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, and data analytics capabilities to transform traditional store shelves into intelligent and interactive displays. These shelves can monitor inventory levels, track product movements, and provide real-time data on product availability and stock levels. Smart shelves can also collect data on customer interactions, such as product interactions and purchasing patterns, which can be leveraged to gain insights and make informed business decisions.
According to the US Census Bureau, commercial e-commerce in the United States was about USD 266 billion from July to September 2022, a 3% increase over the past quarter.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increased use of technologies like IoT and RFID
Smart technologies like IoT and RFID are driving the adoption of smart shelves. RFID technology is becoming increasingly significant in enhancing the competitiveness of contemporary retail organizations, leading to the emergence of smart retail and intense competition among businesses. Due to the increase in labor expenses and the need to lower the operational costs of logistics, there is a greater demand for the quick implementation of RFID in modern retail.
Restraint:
Privacy concerns related to in build data tags
The importance of privacy to consumers has increased, and this is reflected in the way they shop. Large businesses like Walmart have had failure with an app that allowed shoppers to scan things as they were taken from the shelves. Customers questioned whether product tagging tags may be misused, compromised, and used to track customers from retailers to their houses. This demonstrates how businesses are failing to raise public knowledge of the privacy precautions they are taking. Organizations should handle this issue as customers are becoming more aware of their privacy owing to greater online exposure.
Opportunity:
Need for retailers to build closer connections with customers at the front of the store
In order to compete in a market that is constantly changing, industries are utilizing more automation, improving efficiency, lowering costs, and contributing to data collection. A technical survey, reported in an article by Modern Retail, revealed where this use of technology is largely accepted, with 75% of decision-makers planning to deploy more technology and create smart warehouse systems by 2020. With the introduction of smart shelves, IoT and AI will be able to help with warehouse difficulties and tracking products along the supply chain. One of the technologies that is gaining popularity in the retail and fulfillment industries is smart shelving.
Threat:
Shifting of customers to the online retail store
E-commerce platforms have attracted a lot of consumer attention. Over USD 860 billion was spent by US consumers in 2020, up 44% from 2019. Besides the established nations, developing nations like Nigeria, which have a booming young population and high internet penetration, have embraced technology advancements in day-to-day living. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) reports that sub-Saharan Africa is seeing an increase in internet access. 51% of people in South Africa now shop online as a result of the rise in cell phone usage. Particularly in the retail industry during the COVID period, a significant movement toward online retail establishments is currently a big problem for the market for smart shelves.
Covid-19 Impact:
The COVID-19 epidemic has had a mixed influence on the market. The disruptions caused by the pandemic, such as supply chain challenges and fluctuating consumer demand, have highlighted the importance of efficient inventory management. The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of smart shelves as retailers seek to mitigate inventory-related risks. Additionally, the economic impact of the pandemic has resulted in budget constraints for many businesses, including retailers. Some retailers have had to delay or scale back their investments in smart shelves and other technology solutions due to financial uncertainties.
The large enterprises segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The large enterprises segment held the largest share in the market owing to the increasing demand. Smart shelves are increasingly being adopted in large enterprises, such as large supermarkets and warehouses, to keep a track of their inventory, as there is a high volume of inventory in such organizations. It should be noted that manual inventory management is traditional and only suitable for small retailers (i.e., less than 500 square meters). On a larger scale, this process is more expensive, time-consuming, and prone to human error. Retailers can automate the inventory process to save time and money, improves operational effectiveness, and lessen dreaded retail shrink.
The hardware segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
During the projection period, the hardware segment is expected to have the greatest CAGR. This is owing to increasing compatibility of hardware with various devices such as any Radio Frequency (RF) device, language, and mobile network provider. Microcontrollers can be integrated with hardware as well. They also use REST-based design, which is highly scalable and compatible, is High Frequency (HF) and Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) compatible with modern technology, easy to add data to the platform and link with Point-Of-Sale (POS), store, and warehouse Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.
Region with largest share:
The North America region market is estimated to witness the highest share of the global Smart Shelves market during the forecast period, which is attributed to increasing activities by key market players in countries in this region. For instance, Avery Dennison and SAP hope to address waste issues in the retail sector, by merging their separate analytic product clouds. This should make it easier for supermarkets to monitor and manage product expiration dates. The companies have signed an Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) integrate SAP Analytics Cloud, a component of SAP Business Technology Platform, with atma.io connected product cloud from Avery Dennison.
Region with highest CAGR:
The Asia Pacific region is expected to have the highest growth rate over the forecast period, which is attributed to increasing activities by key market players in countries in this region. For instance, during the pandemic, Nielsen, a global measurement and data analytics company, and Trax, a pioneer in computer vision solutions and retail analytics, announced the improvement of Shelf Pulse, a data platform. This platform offers CPG brands crucial shelf insights and analytics to become retailers' trusted advisors and drive ongoing category growth and sales at a time when retailers needed more assistance to navigate COVID-19 reality. Hence, increasing activities by key market players in this region is leading to a rise in demand for smart shelves, which is in turn, expected to drive market revenue growth.
