The global piece picking robots market size reached USD 1,047 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 56,418 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 55.73% during 2025-2033. The market is rapidly growing, driven by increasing emphasis on efficiency and productivity, growing demand for labor shortage solutions, significant growth in the e-commerce industry, rapid technological advancements, and escalating focus on scalability and flexibility.
Piece picking robots are automated systems that are designed to handle and pick individual product pieces from a storage system or warehouse. These robots use advanced sensors, grippers, and computer vision to identify and grasp products with high precision and accuracy. Characteristics of piece picking robots include high mobility, multi-axis dexterity, and the ability to manipulate objects of varying shapes and sizes. They are commonly used in warehouses and distribution centers for e-commerce and retail companies to reduce manual labor to be devoted to repetitive and critical tasks in order to meet the high demands of modern supply chains. Using piece picking robots in warehouse provides enhanced speed and productivity, reduced labor costs, and higher worker safety by eliminating the need for workers to handle heavy or dangerous items. These software-driven, hardware-enabled robots are designed to integrate with other automated systems and can be easily programmed to handle new products or change pick patterns.
The global market is primarily driven by the emerging trend of industrial automation, along with the advent of industry 4.0. This can be attributed to the growing need to minimize travel distance, maximize the use of space, minimize pick errors, and minimize injuries among retail workers. In line with this, the escalating demand to enhance the efficiency of the logistics and supply chain due to significant growth in the e-commerce industry is creating lucrative growth opportunities in the market. Also, the rising investments in the development of upstream handling of products in e-commerce infrastructure, smaller format stores, and omnichannel fulfillment are providing an impetus to the market. Moreover, continual technological advancements in the production of robotic arms and new software tools to handle a wider range of items and operate in more complex environments are creating a positive outlook for the market. Besides this, the growing integration of machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud data management systems to shorten development cycles and offer real-time visibility is impacting the market positively. The market is further fueled by the considerable rise in the labor costs on the global level. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include rapid industrialization, inflating disposable income levels, increasing volumes of orders and shipments, and numerous innovations in robotics.
