Of course, the push to automate the warehouses was in full force before the Covid-19 but global pandemic forced the companies to change their strategy w.r.t warehouse automation from "good to have" category to "must to have" if they have to sustain in this industry. One of the learnings from the COVID-19 pandemic is that mega-trends like aging population, globalization, health & safety, mobility, green logistics, autonomous world, urbanization, individualization and digitization need to be given more consideration and weight than in the past with a long-term vision so that we are ready with any challenge.

Year 2021 witnessed a huge order intake for warehouse automation companies but revenue growth was limited due to supply chain constraints. As a result, industry entered in 2022 with a record order backlog which got reduced in 2023 due to slowdown and macro uncertainties in 2023. Entering 2024, companies have started receiving the orders once again but retailers are still cautious about capital expenditure due to low consumer spending, high inflation, and geopolitical tension.

We see substantial growth opportunities in long term for the warehouse automation market space owing to high labor cost and several structural trends in consumer demand within eCommerce, retailing and 3PL logistics. Despite of the temporary reduction in retail and e-commerce caused by slowdown in 2023, we have observed a high interest towards warehouse automation in 2023 which may convert into new orders and revenues of these system integrators and manufacturers in 2024 onwards.

Post pandemic, most important and emerging trends have been eGrocery Growth, Micro-Fulfillment Centers, Automated Picking, Mixed Pallets Automation, Mobiile Manipulators, and Automated Cold Storages. Huge investment in start-ups such as Symbotic, Takeoff Technologies, Geek+, Fabric, Attabotics, Exotec Solutions, Hai Robotics, Addverb Technologies, and Dexterity are witnessing this growth along with presence of existing big players like Dematic, Honeywell intelligrated, SSI Schafer, Knapp, Daifuku, Muratec, AutoStore, and Toyota Advance Logistics. Retailers such as Walmart, Kroger, Coop, Target, Woolworths, Amazon, Ocado, Meijer, Carrefour, H-E-B, Albertsons, and Ahold Delhaize have already started adopting and implementing these new technologies during pandemic. Apart this, piece picking players such as Righthand Robotics, Nimble, Fizyr, Kindred, Covariant, OSARO, Plus One Robotics, Berkshire Grey, and AWL have established a new attractive capability for order picking in ecommerce fulfillment as picking is least automated process in existing warehouses.

Automation is must for customer fulfilment: Meeting customer demands within e-commerce requires increased adoption of warehouse automation solutions to keep costs and operational complexity in check. Online retailing is fundamentally a logistics business driven by margin improvement from cost reduction in inventory management, order fulfilment and delivery capabilities.

Scalable solutions enable Double-digit growth in e-commerce and online grocery sales is driving players to expand capacity to deliver required volumes. Warehouse automation solutions are built for scale and can deliver higher output and more accurate order fulfilment than a manual setup at lower operating costs and can increase the customer satisfaction as well as improve margins by reducing the delivery time as well as cutting down on the cost of wrong orders.

Online Grocery Retail: Online grocery retail is the perfect use-case owing to the high-volume, low-margin nature of the business and the constraints involved in storing and delivering "fresh" products that typically involve temperature controlled supply chains. Building and delivering orders that meet increasing customer demands as well as can compete with the produce available in brick and mortar grocery stores in terms of freshness and prices, puts a huge pressure on the already thin margins in the grocery retail business. Warehouse Automation is a perfect solution for this model, as the order picking and fulfillment process can be made more cost-efficient enabling the retailer to compete on prices as well as offer same-day delivery. Micro-Fulfillment and Last Mile Delivery are going to drive this market further in next 5 years.

Efficiency: The spatial savings from reduced warehouse footprints can be up to 85% and reductions in operational costs of up to 65%. Space savings are achieved primarily through storing SKUs higher and denser, and reductions in operational costs are resulting from decreased demand for manual labour.

KEY FINDINGS

Adoption of warehouse automation technologies is on the rise due to labor shortage, eCommerce penetration, and change in consumer behavior.

US, Germany and China are the key market: United States, China and Germany are the largest markets with more than 50% share for Warehouse Automation both with regards to demand as well as the presence of OEMs and System Integrators. Europe is a big hub for OEMs, with strong presence in Germany, Italy, France, Netherlands, and Spain. Western Europe is a big market accounting ~30% of the overall global market. Most of the fastest growing markets are concentrated in APAC, mainly in South Asia (India) and South-East Asia. Middle East is another exciting opportunity and is well suited in terms of geography with European players looking to expand their offerings in the region. Latin America is still under-penetrated with regards to automation; however, things are set to change and market is set to observe a high growth in Brazil and Mexico. Within Europe, Central and Eastern Europe is a fast-growing region, with Poland and Czech Republic emerging as logistics hub and showing good growth prospects.

Online Grocery becoming the top attraction for warehouse automation: The Grocery industry is one of the most challenging and attractive industries from a logistics perspective. Grocery distributors ship high cubic volumes of merchandise to retail stores with frequent deliveries to ensure product freshness. Grocery distribution center operations are amongst the most labour intensive of any industry. Higher automation driven by online grocery, micro-fulfillment centers (MFC) and ultrafast deliveries is going to be biggest opportunity in next 5 years led by different type of solution providers as AutoStore, Ocado, Takeoff Technologies, Exotec, Fabric, Symbotic, Attabotics, OPEX, , Geek+, and Urbx Logistics. It will witness an opportunity of more than $7B by 2028 with 18% growth rate. We have already witnessed many partnerships in last 2-3 years such as Ocado and Kroger in USA, Takeoff Technologies and Majid Al Futtaim in Middle East, Walmart and Symbotic in USA, Ocado and Coles in Australia, and Freshippo (Alibaba Group) in China.

AGV/AMR will remain the key technology to adopt: AGV and AMR market is expected to be biggest market in 2028 with a CAGR of ~30%. AMR (without any external support of optical tape, sensor or vision) is going to be main contributor in the warehouses due to high demand in e-commerce sector and its flexibility to deploy the robot without any major change in the existing warehouse infrastructure. However, it is a bit slow in terms of pick rate per hour as compared to ASRS but is preferred in small and medium warehouses due to lower cost and quick deployment. It is expected that AGVs/AMRs are going to have more than 20% market share by 2028 in this market led by players like Seegrid, Balyo, Hai Robotics, Geek+, GreyOrange, HikRobot, Quicktron, Locus Robotics, Fetch Robotics (Zebra), 6 River Systems (Ocado), Teradyne (MiR, AutoGuide Mobile Robots), Rocla, JBT, ek-robotics, Omron, Rockwell Automation (Clearpath Robotics, OTTO Motors) etc.

Picking systems are still largely manual: The order picking process can be done manually or can be automated. Manual picking is preferred when there is a wide variety of SKUs (for example online grocery shopping) to pick from. The order picking is the most labour intense part of the warehouse/DC and ideal for automation, however automation becomes increasingly challenging as the number of SKUs goes up. Barcode scanning can minimize errors but RFID (radio frequency) is quicker and more accurate for product identification. Manual pickers can still be tasked with picking individual items; however, automated storage and retrieval systems can bring the goods to the picker, and order picking robots can improve this further, thereby cutting down on a lot of manual labour and costs. Technologies like pick-to-light or pick-to-voice can also increase the efficiency of the human worker even if the task is not truly automated. Apart this, piece picking robots are the latest pick by fulfillment center for ecommerce delivered by Righthand Robotics, Berkshire Grey, Osaro, Covariant, Kindred AI, Plus One Robotics, Fizyr, Dexterity, Pickr AI etc.

Facts to Know

Global e-Commerce sales have grown at a CAGR of 20% over the last decade, reaching almost $5 trillion worldwide in 2021, and expected to grow to more than $8 trillion by 2027. The share of online retail sales has gone from 2% of total to 19%, and is further expected to reach >25% by 2030.

Amazon Robotics automates the company's fulfillment centers using more than 750,000 autonomous mobile robots, 25x growth from 30,000 at the end of 2015. Amazon had been playing catchup to match supply with demand - fulfillment costs as a percentage of net sales climbed from ~15% in 2020 to 16-17% in 2022. Company has created a $1 billion venture investment program called the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund (AIIF) to spur and support innovation in customer fulfillment, logistics, and the supply chain.

Walmart announced has partnered with Symbotic to reimagine the retailer's regional distribution network. Symbotic first implemented its system in Walmart's Brooksville, Florida distribution center in 2017. Since that time, the companies have worked together to optimize the system. In July 2021, Walmart announced its partnership with Symbotic to implement their high-tech automation system in the regional network and planned to implement this technology in 25 of their 42 RDCs. In May 2022, both expanded commercial agreements to implement Symbotic's robotics and software automation platform in all 42 of Walmart's regional distribution centers over the coming years.

Zalando, Europe's leading online platform for fashion and lifestyle, has opened its third fulfillment center in Poland. The ramp up marks an important milestone in Zalando's logistics network expansion with two Polish fulfillment centers serving Zalando's growing customer base and one logistics site taking care of Zalando Lounge deliveries.

Warehouse labour shortages are also an issue with peak labour demands occurring around major shopping holidays viz. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Amazon Prime day, Thanksgiving Day and Singles Day. Warehouses have to hire temporary labour around these peak times to meet the customer delivery schedules. Supply chain robotics company Cainiao had installed 700+ robots at China's largest robot-run warehouse to process orders on Singles Day.

2022 was the first year in Singles' Day history Alibaba declined to release its sales data, with the company simply stating sales were "in line" with those of 2021. Alibaba rival JD.com (China's second-largest retailer) also declined to release sales numbers for the first time-although they called their sales "record-setting". Singles' Day 2022 sales volume across all platforms was between $130 and $150 billion, an increase of between 3% and 13% from 2021. Analysts are expecting low-single-digit% growth for 2023 Singles' Day.

Amazon kicked off the arm race to automate warehouses & supply chains

Robotics & automation is rapidly becoming a key success factor in eCommerce and is about to make a very large impact on the world of logistics. From autonomous mobile robots and automatic storage systems to track & trace technologies and advanced supply chain software, it is a game changer enabling increasingly speedy, safe and error-free distribution, shorter time to market and ultimately lower costs to businesses and consumers.

Amazon was a major driving force behind the birth of the warehouse automation industry. In 2005, Amazon introduced Prime, its express shipping membership program for about a million products. Today Amazon has more than a 100 million Prime members using its fast, free, unlimited shipping on more than 30 million items, free same-day delivery on more than a million items, and even one-and-two-hour delivery on tens of thousands of items in certain cities. Prime has eventually proved sustainable with scale and automation, and has enabled Amazon to grab more than 35% share of the US eCommerce market. It is now the de facto benchmark in the online retail industry, setting consumers' expectations in terms of shipping performance at a very high level.

A massive advantage of online operations for retailers is that a very large stock file can be held in one location and distributed globally. This allows retailers to stock many more products (SKUs) than are available in each individual store without the same associated inventory risk. The success of aggregation websites shows clearly that a larger choice of products drives sales growth over time. Automation of warehouses allows retailer to handle ever larger volumes and ranges of stock, which in turn drives growth.

Amazon Prime would not be viable without leveraging cutting-edge advances in Robotics & Automation technology, which the company has turned into a source of sustainable competitive advantage. In 2012, Amazon acquired Kiva Systems in a $775m deal. Kiva Systems, now known as Amazon Robotics, pioneered the use of autonomous mobile robots for warehouse automation, introducing a revolutionary approach to order fulfilment. Kiva robots navigate autonomously around the warehouse, moving dynamically-stored shelves of ordered items to packers to fulfil orders, controlled by cutting edge control software. Today Amazon Robotics automates the company's fulfilment centers using more than 750,000 autonomous mobile robots, up more than 25x from 30,000 at the end of 2015.

With Kiva technology confined to Amazon warehouses since 2015, many companies have scrambled to fill the void and we are now seeing a proliferation of mobile robotic systems with various degrees of autonomy. The industry is still in its infancy, with competitors ranging from established players such as Swisslog, a subsidiary of KUKA recently acquired by Chinese electrical appliance giant Midea, and Adept, also acquired by Omron of Japan, to a multitude of startups such as Fetch Robotics in the US, Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) in Denmark, which was started by a co-founder of Universal Robotics, Singapore based GreyOrange with customers in India, as well as Hikrobot Technologies, a subsidiary of Hikvision in China.

Amazon acquired Whole Foods Markets in a $14bn deal with wide ranging implications for the e-commerce and logistics industries and a sign that online grocery shopping may be ready for prime time. We think the deal marked a seminal moment in the US online grocery market, which remains in its infancy, at only 2% of the $675bn US grocery market and around 6% in the more developed UK market. The merger between Kroger and Albertsons could be another game changer in retail automation. In recent years, a number of online-only grocery services such as Ocado have tested and proven the business model, with very high automation intensity but relatively limited scale. Meanwhile, traditional grocery retailers have struggled with the last-mile logistics nightmare. Given the additional logistical challenges presented by grocery picking and shipping such as cold chain.

Order Picking remains a Robotic Challenge

Order picking in warehouses still remains a largely manual process, with Amazon commenting that commercially viable automated picking remains a "difficult challenge".

There have been launches of robots that enable automated order picking. Most of the robot vendors, as well as some of the warehouse automation players themselves, produce some variety of order picking robots. These order picker robots 'pick' the parcels off the pallet and place them into cartons or boxes, which go onto the conveyor system for further delivery.

Initially picking robots were being produced that are capable of picking objects off the shelf (which is a more subtle process), such as IAM Robotics which uses an autonomous mobile picking robot called Swift which has a Fanuc arm. These robots are often classified as collaborative robots (cobots), and the shelf-picking function often comes on top of being an automated guided vehicle, which transports objects from the shelf to the packaging and shipping corner of the warehouse. In 2020, Ocado agreed to buy San Francisco-headquartered robotics firm Kindred Systems for $262 million and Las Vegas firm Haddington Dynamics for $25 million to enhance its picking and packing capabilities. Apart this, Ocado Group acquired 6 River Robotics, a collaborative AMR fulfillment solutions provider to the logistics and non-grocery retail sectors, from Shopify in 2023.

Warehouse robots are typically used for:

1. De-palletizing/palletizing: De-palletizing robots strip a pallet of products coming into a warehouse. In the simplest cases this can be all the same product (say from a single manufacturer), but may also contain mixed products. De-palletizing robots are typically standard industrial robots with a dedicated tool mounted, often using a vacuum enabled grip to remove packages from the pallet. Palletizing robots re-pack the pallet for onward shipment.

2. Order picking: A picking arm can be mounted to a standard industrial robot/cobot. As highlighted by DHL, a standard industrial robot from the major supplier has none of the five senses when it comes out the box, meaning the sensing/machine vision, software and dexterous tool are crucial add-ons.

3. Goods-to-person movement through AGVs: Autonomous Guided Vehicles are typically used for goods-to-person movement.

eCommerce to be the biggest segment in the Warehouse Automation Market by 2028, followed by Grocery

eCommerce and Grocery will have the largest demand for warehouse automation equipment, growing in high-teen% through 2028. The growth of eCommerce is also driving the demand for automation solutions from geographies such as India, Indonesia, Latin America, Central & Eastern Europe, where historically there is a very low penetration of such solutions. In emerging economies, there is a high demand for modern warehouse space.

APAC will be the largest market for warehouse automation, with India demonstrating highest growth globally, in the backdrop of its huge potential in eCommerce. Regional upstarts such as GreyOrange and Addverb Technologies in India, point towards more localized solutions gaining traction with eCommerce players as well.

United States is currently the largest market for warehouse automation and is expected to maintain its leadership given the fact that fully automated warehouses account for less than 5% of the total warehouse area in US. We expect this to change substantially during our forecast period, as faster fulfillment, and shortage of labour, as well as high wages for warehouse staff), drive more adoption of automation technologies. China will play a close second to US, driven by the tremendous growth in eCommerce and the large amount SKUs being handled and shipped by players such as JD.com.
