Warehouse Automation Market
Warehouse Automation Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Function, Technology, Software, Robot Type, Payload Capacity, Hardware, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Warehouse Automation Market is accounted for $13.67 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $44.81 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 16.0% during the forecast period. Increasing manufacturing complexity and globalization of supply chain networks are the major factors propelling the market growth. However, installation and maintenance costs of automated warehousing systems are hampering the market growth.
Warehouse automation is the application of particular equipment and storage and retrieval systems to perform the tasks previously handled by unskilled and semi-skilled labour. As the term suggests, it is the automation of repetitive processes which previously required labour.
Based on the technology, the automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) or Pallet Rack segment is estimated to have lucrative growth during the forecast period. An AS/RS system is one of the most complex parts of warehouse automation and enables the automated storage of crates and pallets after delivery from a supplier and the retrieval for the order picking process. It also includes automated racking, shelving, and shuttle systems and allows for far denser warehouses.
By geography, the Asia Pacific is going to have lucrative growth due to emerging economies like India and China are witnessing a substantial deployment of automated vehicles. Moreover, the fast-growing logistics, manufacturing, and favourable policies supporting domestic production in leading economies like Japan and India are important factors determining market growth in this region.
Some of the key players profiled in the Warehouse Automation Market include Zipline, AFS Technologies, Yaskawa Electric Corporation, PAL Robotics, Workhorse, Ubiquity Robotics, Panasonic, AGV International, Oracle, Exotec, Magazino GmbH, Locus Robotics, Kuka AG, Honeywell Intelligrated, IAM Robotics, Zebra Technologies, H3 Dynamics, FANUC Corporation, KnightScope, EiraTech Robotics, ATS Automation, Omron Corporation, XYZ Robotics, and ABB Ltd.
