全球倉庫自動化市場預計到 2028 年將達到 440 億美元大關,2023 年至 2028 年複合年增長率為 15%。

當然,推動倉庫自動化的運動早在 COVID-19 之前就已如火如荼地展開,但全球大流行迫使企業將其倉庫自動化策略轉變為維持行業所必需的策略。我們一直在被迫將類別從 "沒什麼好失去的" 改為 "必須擁有" 的類別。 從COVID-19 大流行中學到的教訓之一是,我們需要以長遠的眼光看待並透過關注各種大趨勢(老化、全球化、健康與安全、流動性、綠色物流、自動化等)來應對任何挑戰。全球化、城市化、個人化、數位化等比以往任何時候都需要更多地考慮和強調。

2021年,倉庫自動化公司訂單量龐大,但由於供應鏈限制,收入成長有限。 結果,該行業最終在 2022 年出現了創紀錄的積壓,而由於經濟放緩和宏觀不確定性,積壓在 2023 年有所下降。 進入2024年,企業重新開始接受訂單,但由於消費者支出疲軟、通膨高企和地緣政治緊張局勢,零售商對資本投資仍持謹慎態度。

由於勞動成本上升以及電子商務、零售和 3PL 物流領域消費者需求的若干結構性趨勢,我們認為倉庫自動化市場存在重大的長期成長機會。 儘管由於2023 年經濟放緩,零售和電子商務將出現暫時收縮,但2023 年人們對倉庫自動化的興趣將會很高,這將從2024 年起轉化為這些系統整合商和製造商的新訂單和收入。

倉庫自動化市場報告亮點

  • 倉庫自動化設備的供應商和行業顧問正在看到數據分析、5G、數位服務和後電暈時代的新趨勢,這些趨勢是由不斷變化的人口結構、不斷增長的電子商務滲透率以及工業物聯網的興起,隨著自動化操作需求的增加,我們預計長期銷售成長將在10%左右。
  • 競爭格局:物料搬運設備領域約有15家主要公司可以提供全面的自動化倉庫解決方案,年收入超過10億美元,收入在2億美元至1美元之間億,有15至20家中型企業。 許多新創公司在AMR、基於立方體的ASRS、揀選機器人、微型履行、自主服務提供者等新類別中不斷湧現,但排名前10 位的大型參與者(Dematic、Daifuku、SSI Schaefer、Honeywell Intelligerated、Knapp、 Toyota Advance) Logistics、Muratec、Beumer Group、Fortna 和 Witron)佔據了超過 50% 的市場份額。 近年來,Symbotic 作為新玩家崛起,挑戰美國的老牌玩家。
  • 服務(MRO 和數位)的重要性日益增加:隨著自動化倉庫解決方案安裝基礎的成長,公司預期服務和維護收入將會增加。 到 2028 年,預計將帶來 110 億美元的機遇,佔整個市場(包括數位服務)的近 25%。
  • 商業模式也隨著最終用戶對高資本支出的即時痛點而改變。 由於 RaaS(機器人即服務)的靈活性、可擴展性以及比傳統機器人程式更低的入門成本,越來越多的公司開始轉向 RaaS。 揀選即服務業務模式通常每次揀選的成本在 6 美分到 10 美分之間,而 AMR 即服務通常按月租賃(取決於合約期限)每個機器人。價格從每月750 美元到每月數千美元不等。
  • 產業整合:過去五年,物料搬運設備供應商之間的整合不斷加強。 這是因為傳統公司發現收購新技術領導者是應對不斷變化的市場趨勢和定位自己的更有吸引力的方式。

您需要了解的事實

  • 過去十年,全球電子商務銷售額的複合年增長率為 20%,預計到 2021 年全球將達到約 5 兆美元,到 2027 年將增長到超過 8 兆美元。網路零售額佔零售總額的比重預計將從2%上升到19%,到2030年將達到25%以上。
  • Amazon Robotics 使用超過 750,000 個自主移動機器人來實現其配送中心的自動化,比 2015 年底的 30,000 個增長了 25 倍。 亞馬遜一直在迎頭趕上,以匹配供需。 配送成本佔銷售額的百分比將從 2020 年的約 15% 上升到 2022 年的 16-17%。 亞馬遜創建了一項名為 AIIF 的 10 億美元風險投資計劃,以促進和支持客戶履行、物流和供應鏈方面的創新。
  • 沃爾瑪宣布與 Symbotic 合作,重新構想該零售商的區域配送網路。 Symbotic 於 2017 年在佛羅裡達州布魯克斯維爾的沃爾瑪配送中心首次安裝了該系統。 此後,兩家公司共同努力優化該系統。 2021 年 7 月,沃爾瑪宣布與 Symbotic 合作,在其區域網路中實施其高科技自動化系統,並計劃在其 42 個 RDC 中的 25 個實施該技術。 2022 年 5 月,兩家公司擴大了商業協議,在未來幾年內將 Symbotic 的機器人和軟體自動化平台引入沃爾瑪的所有 42 個區域配送中心。
  • 歐洲領先的線上時尚和生活方式平台 Zalando 在波蘭開設了第三個營運中心。 波蘭的兩個履行中心將為 Zalando 不斷增長的客戶群提供服務,一個物流站點將負責 Zalando Lounge 的送貨。
  • 在黑色星期五、網路星期一、亞馬遜 Prime 會員日、感恩節和光棍節等主要購物節日前後出現勞動力需求高峰期間,倉庫勞動力短缺也是一個問題。 倉庫必須在高峰時段僱用臨時工,以滿足客戶的交貨時程。 供應鏈機器人公司菜鳥在中國最大的機器人操作倉庫中安裝了 700 多台機器人來處理 "雙十一" 訂單。
  • 阿裡巴巴歷史上首次拒絕公佈 2022 年銷售數據,稱銷售額將與 2021 年 "處於同一水平" 。 阿裡巴巴的競爭對手中國第二大零售商京東也首次沒有公佈銷售數據,儘管該公司稱這些數據 "創紀錄" 。 2022年全平台雙十一銷售額在1,300億美元至1,500億美元之間,較2021年成長3%至13%。 分析師預計 2023 年雙十一的成長將處於低個位數。

亞馬遜開始競相實現倉庫和供應鏈自動化

機器人和自動化正迅速成為電子商務的關鍵成功因素,並將對物流世界產生巨大影響。 從自主移動機器人和自動化倉儲系統,到追蹤技術和先進的供應鏈軟體,一切都是為了更快、更安全、更無錯誤的物流,更快的上市時間,以及最終更快、更安全、更少的錯誤。免費物流。它改變了遊戲規則,使消費者能夠降低成本。

亞馬遜一直是倉庫自動化產業誕生的主要推手。 2005 年,亞馬遜推出了 Prime,這是一項針對約 100 萬種產品的快速會員計畫。 Amazon Prime 目前擁有超過1 億會員,為超過3000 萬件商品提供免費無限制送貨服務,為超過100 萬件商品提供免費當日送貨服務,並在特定城市為數萬件商品提供服務。我們在1-2 小時內送達。 Prime 最終透過規模和自動化證明了永續發展,使亞馬遜佔據了美國電子商務市場 35% 以上的份額。 現在它已成為線上零售業事實上的基準,將消費者對配送性能的期望設定到非常高的水平。

零售商在線上營運的一大優勢是能夠將非常大的庫存文件保存在一個地方並將其分發到世界各地。 這使得零售商能夠庫存比每家商店庫存更多的產品 (SKU),而不會產生庫存風險。 聚合網站的成功清楚地表明,增加產品選擇可以增加長期銷售量。 倉庫自動化使零售商能夠處理比以往更多的庫存,從而推動成長。

如果不利用機器人和自動化技術的尖端進步,亞馬遜 Prime 就不可能實現,該公司已將其轉變為可持續競爭優勢的來源。 2012年,亞馬遜以7.75億美元收購了Kiva Systems。 Kiva Systems(現稱為 Amazon Robotics)率先使用自主移動機器人實現倉庫自動化,並引入了革命性的訂單處理方法。 Kiva 機器人由最先進的控制軟體控制,可在倉庫中自主移動,動態移動裝有訂購產品的貨架並進行包裝以履行訂單。 Amazon Robotics 目前擁有超過 75 萬個自主移動機器人,實現其配送中心的自動化,比 2015 年底的 30,000 個增加了 25 倍多。

自2015年以來,Kiva技術僅限於亞馬遜的倉庫,因此許多公司爭先恐後地填補空白,各種自主的移動機器人系統現在已經普遍存在。 該行業仍處於起步階段,老牌企業包括最近被中國消費電子巨頭美的收購的 KUKA 子公司 Swisslog 和同樣被日本歐姆龍收購的 Adept,以及 Fetch Robotics 和 Universal Robotics 等美國公司。從聯合創始人發起的丹麥移動工業機器人(MiR),到總部位於新加坡、在印度擁有客戶的GreyOrange,再到中國海康威視子公司Hikrobot Technologies 等眾多新創公司。

亞馬遜斥資 140 億美元收購 Whole Foods Markets,對電子商務和物流業影響深遠,意味著網上雜貨購物即將迎來黃金時段。這也預示著。 我們相信此次收購是美國線上雜貨市場的決定性事件。 該市場仍處於起步階段,僅占美國 6,750 億美元食品雜貨市場的 2%,佔較發達的英國市場的 6% 左右。 克羅格與艾伯森的合併可能會成為零售自動化領域的下一個遊戲規則改變者。 近年來,像 Ocado 這樣的純線上雜貨服務已經測試並證明了具有非常高自動化強度的商業模式,但規模相對有限。 另一方面,傳統雜貨零售商卻一直在與最後一英裡的物流噩夢作鬥爭。 雜貨的揀選和運輸面臨冷鍊等物流挑戰。

訂單揀選對機器人來說仍然是一個挑戰

亞馬遜評論說,商業上可行的自動揀選仍然是一個 "艱鉅的挑戰" 。

一款能夠實現自動訂單揀選的機器人已經發布。 大多數機器人供應商和倉庫自動化公司都會生產各種訂單揀選機器人。 這些訂單揀選機器人從托盤上 "揀選" 包裹,將其放入紙箱或盒子中,然後將其放在傳送帶系統上以進行進一步交付。

有些公司,例如 IAM Robotics,使用 Fanuc 的帶有手臂的自主移動採摘機器人 "Swift" 。 這些機器人通常被歸類為協作機器人(cobots),它們從貨架上挑選物品的能力通常與自動引導車輛有關,該車輛將它們從貨架運輸到倉庫的包裝和運輸部分。 2020年,Ocado同意以2.62億美元收購舊金山機器人公司Kindred Systems,以2,500萬美元收購拉斯維加斯Haddington Dynamics,以加強其揀選和包裝能力。 另外,Ocado Group 於 2023 年從 Shopify 收購了 6 River Robotics,這是一家針對物流和非食品零售領域的協作 AMR 履行解決方案提供商。

到 2028 年,倉庫自動化市場的最大部分將是電子商務,其次是雜貨市場

電商和雜貨對倉庫自動化設備的需求最高,到2028年成長率將超過10%。 電子商務的成長也推動了印度、印尼、拉丁美洲以及中歐和東歐等歷史上此類解決方案滲透率很低的地區對自動化解決方案的需求。 在新興國家,現代倉庫空間的需求量很大。

亞太地區將成為最大的倉庫自動化市場,其中印度由於其在電子商務方面的巨大潛力,預計將呈現全球最高的成長。 印度的 GreyOrange 和 Addverb Technologies 等區域新創公司表明,更在地化的解決方案也在電子商務企業中獲得了認可。

美國目前是最大的倉庫自動化市場,鑑於全自動化倉庫僅占美國倉庫總面積的不到5%,預計將繼續保持領先地位。 更快的履約率、勞動力短缺以及倉庫員工的更高工資預計將推動自動化技術的採用。 在電子商務的顯著成長以及京東等公司的大量 SKU 處理和運輸的推動下,中國排名第二,僅次於美國。

目前,10家主要公司佔據了50%以上的市場份額,但預計未來還會出現更多併購。

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.

Highlights of Warehouse Automation Market Report

  • Warehouse Automation equipment suppliers and industry consultants expect broadly mid-teen% sales growth in long term driven by demographic changes, increased penetration in e-commerce and the advent of the Industrial IoT, that will drive demand for data analytics, 5G, digital services and automated operations in post-pandemic era.
  • Competitive landscape - There are around 15 big players having annual revenue of more than $1B and 15-20 medium-size companies with revenue between $200M and $1B operating in the material handling equipment space capable of delivering comprehensive automated warehouse solutions. Top-10 large companies (including Dematic, Daifuku, SSI Schaefer, Honeywell Intelligrated, Knapp, Toyota Advance Logistics, Muratec, Beumer Group, Fortna, Witron) are capturing more than 50% of market share although lots of start-ups are emerging in new categories like AMRs, Cube based ASRS, Picking Robots, Micro-Fulfillment, Autonomy Service Providers etc. Symbotic has emerged as a new player in last couple of years to compete with stablished players in USA.
  • Services, both MRO and Digital, importance is increasing - Over the time as the installed base of automated warehouse solutions grows, industry players expect an increase in revenues from services and maintenance, which would have a positive impact on profitability as the service business typically has 15-20% operating margins, versus 3-5% margins for new equipment. It is expected to be ~$11B opportunity by 2028 including digital services which is almost 25% of total market.
  • Business models are also changing considering the real time pain points of end-users for high capex. Businesses are increasingly intrigued with RaaS (Robotics As a Service) because of its flexibility, scalability, and lower cost of entry than traditional robotics programs. The business model for pick-as-a-service is usually on a per-pick basis, ranging from 6 cents to 10 cents per pick, while AMR-as-a-service is usually leased on a monthly basis, from US$750 per robot per month to several thousands of dollars per month, depending on the commitment period.
  • Industry Consolidation - The past 5 years have seen an increase in consolidation amongst material handling equipment providers as traditional players see acquisition of new technology leaders as an increasingly attractive way of positioning themselves in response to changing market trends.

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.
