by The global Warehouse Robotics Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 6.1 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 11.4% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Warehouse robotics involves the use of automated systems and robots to increase productivity and efficiency in warehouse operations. Robots perform various tasks such as packaging, pick and place, transportation, and sorting. This significantly reduces reliance on human labor and improves accuracy. The growing demand for automation from e-commerce and logistics sectors is boosting the adoption of warehouse robots. Their ability to work for longer hours compared to humans and perform repetitive tasks without breaks propels their popularity.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the warehouse robotics market is the integration of artificial intelligence. AI capabilities allow robots to analyze inventory levels, order fulfilment patterns and dynamically optimize warehouse workflows. This improves productivity and reduces operational costs. Furthermore, collaborative robots or cobots that can safely work alongside humans without safety cages are gaining traction. Cobots collaborate and assist human workers, enhancing productivity. Their affordable cost compared to conventional robots is supporting their adoption in SME warehouses as well. The ability of robots to adapt to changing warehouse layouts and product assortments also makes them suitable for dynamic operations.
Porter’s Analysis
Threat of new entrants: New entrants face high initial costs required to set up warehouse automation infrastructure and install robotics equipment. Bargaining power of buyers: Individual buyers have low bargaining power due to availability of alternatives however large buyers can negotiate on pricing.
