主要發現

隨著人手不足、電子商務的發展以及消費者期望的改變重塑供應鏈，倉庫自動化的採用正在加速。

  • 美國、德國和中國是主要市場：憑藉其作為全球主要製造、貿易和物流中心的地位，美國、中國和德國繼續引領倉儲自動化產業。北美仍然是最大的區域市場，而歐洲約佔全球物流活動的三分之一，並且是許多領先自動化供應商的所在地。亞太地區，特別是印度和東南亞，預計將在未來實現最快的成長，這主要得益於電子商務的強勁成長和供應鏈的現代化。同時，隨著企業供應鏈的多元化和在地化，中東、巴西、墨西哥、波蘭和捷克等新興市場也不斷擴大其市場佔有率。
  • 線上生鮮業務使得倉儲自動化成為最具吸引力的選擇：由於訂單量大、補貨週期頻繁以及對新鮮度要求嚴格，生鮮業務仍然是零售業物流難度最大的領域之一。隨著線上生鮮銷售的持續成長以及零售商尋求更快捷的履約模式，對自動化（包括微型倉配中心 (MFC)、機器人和自動化倉庫系統）的投資正在加速成長。沃爾瑪和Symbotic、克羅格和Ocado以及阿里巴巴旗下的盒馬鮮生等領先零售商和解決方案供應商已經證明了自動化的戰略重要性，行業預測顯示，到2032年，微型配送中心市場規模可能超過100億美元，年均成長率約為15%。未來五年，線上雜貨銷售、微型倉配中心 (MFC) 和超快速配送等自動化技術的進步預計將帶來最大的機遇，而 AutoStore、Ocado、Exotec、Symbotic、Attabotics、OPEX、Fabric、Geek+ 和 Urbx Logistics 等各種解決方案供應商主導這一趨勢。
  • AGV/AMR預計仍將是關鍵技術。在電子商務履約需求加速成長、人手不足以及對靈活擴充性自動化的需求推動下，AGV和AMR市場預計將成為倉儲自動化領域成長最快的細分市場。與傳統的固定式自動化不同，AMR只需對基礎設施進行極少的改動即可部署，這使其成為尋求快速投資回報（ROI）和營運靈活性的中小型倉庫的理想選擇。因此，預計到2032年，行動機器人將佔據倉儲自動化市場25%以上的佔有率，而Geek+、Hai Robotics、GreyOrange、Locus Robotics、Quicktron、Hikrobot、Seegrid、MiR（Teradyne）、OTTO Motors和OMRON等技術供應商預計將引領這一趨勢。儘管ASRS解決方案仍然提供強大的處理能力，但由於AMR部署成本更低、柔軟性更高，並且能夠處理動態的履約操作，因此變得越來越受歡迎。一個重要的新趨勢是將人工智慧驅動的機械手臂與移動揀選機器人結合。透過結合自主導航和機械臂，這些機器人能夠自動完成單件揀選、分類、托盤卸貨和混裝訂單處理，進一步拓展了倉庫自動化的應用範圍。
  • 揀貨系統目前仍以人工為主。訂單揀選仍然是現代倉庫中最耗費人力且操作最複雜的任務，因此也是自動化投資的重點領域。雖然在SKU數量龐大的環境中，例如電子商務和線上食品雜貨銷售，人工揀貨仍然發揮著至關重要的作用，但倉庫正擴大採用諸如貨到人（GTP）系統、基於RFID的識別、揀貨寫字和揀貨語音等技術，以提高生產效率、準確性和勞動效率。預計到2032年，揀貨系統市場規模將達到約50億美元。自動化倉庫系統（ASRS）和機器人揀貨解決方案透過簡化產品檢索和訂單處理流程，進一步減少了對人工的依賴。最新一波創新浪潮聚焦於人工智慧驅動的單件揀貨機器人和機械手臂，它們能夠以更高的準確性和速度處理包含各種產品、不規則形狀和混合SKU的訂單。 Dexterity、Covariant、Plus One Robotics、Berkshire Grey、RightHand Robotics、Fizyr、Osaro 和 Pickr AI 等公司正在推進視覺引導機器人揀選技術，使倉庫中日益複雜的揀選任務得以自動化，這些任務以前機器人難以處理，並加速向完全自主的履約運營過渡。

倉儲自動化市場報告亮點

  • 倉儲自動化供應商和行業專家預計，在結構性勞動力短缺、電子商務持續成長以及供應鏈數位化加速的推動下，倉儲自動化市場將長期保持兩位數的持續成長。實體人工智慧、工業IoT、5G連接和自主營運的融合正在變革倉儲網路，使自動化成為提升韌性、生產力和客戶應對力的重要策略驅動力。
  • 競爭格局－倉儲自動化市場仍維持適度集中，約有15家大型企業年收入超過10億美元，另有15至20家中型企業累計收入在2億至10億美元之間。德馬泰克（Dematic）、大福（Daifuku）、SSI Schaefer、Symbotic、Knapp、Vanderlande、霍尼韋爾智慧物流（Honeywell Intelligrated）、微型倉配，Symbotic等公司正迅速崛起為主要競爭對手。
  • MRO（維護、維修和營運）和數位化服務的重要性日益凸顯。隨著自動化倉儲解決方案的普及，業內相關人員預計服務和維護收入將持續成長。這將對盈利產生正面影響，因為服務業務的營業利潤率通常在15%至20%之間，而新設備的營業利潤率僅為3%至5%。預計到2032年，包括數位化服務在內的市場規模將達到約150億美元，約佔整個市場的25%。
  • 此外，鑑於終端用戶在高額資本投入方面面臨的即時挑戰，經營模式也在改變。企業對機器人即服務 (RaaS) 的興趣日益濃厚，因為與傳統機器人專案相比，RaaS 具有柔軟性、擴充性和更低的進入門檻。 「揀選即服務」經營模式通常會以揀選次數收費，每次揀選費用在 6 到 10 美分之間。而「自主移動機器人即服務」則通常採用月租模式，根據合約期限的不同，每台機器人的月租金從 750 美元到數千美元不等。
  • 產業重組—過去五年，物料輸送設備供應商產業經歷了重組。這是因為，對於傳統的行業巨頭而言，收購新興技術領域的領導企業已成為一種越來越有吸引力的選擇，以應對不斷變化的市場趨勢並鞏固其市場地位。羅克韋爾自動化（Clearpath Robotics、OTTO Motors）、永恆力（Magazino）、SSI Schaefer（DS Automotion）、斑馬（Fetch Robotics、Matrox）、ABB（ASTI）、豐田（Vanderlande、Bastian Solutions、ViaStore）、村田機械（Cimcorpation）、Vanderlande、Bastian Solutions、ViaStore）、村田機械（Cimcorpation）、KumD、Cimcorpic（Kryo） Logistics Group、Pulse Integration、QC Software）、Ocado（6 River Systems、Kindred、Haddington Dynamics）、Element Logic（SDI）、Honeywell（Intelligrated、Transnorm）、Korber（Cohesio Group、Siemens Logistics、HighJump. Robots）、永恆力（Arculus）、凱傲（Dematic）和庫卡（Swisslog）只是產業重組的幾個例子。

你應該知道的事實

  • 過去十年，全球電子商務銷售額以20%的複合年成長率成長，2021年全球整體電子商務規模接近5兆美元。預計到2030年，這一數字將超過10兆美元。此外，全球整體網路購物購物者數量已超過23億，凸顯了零售通路向數位化通路的持續轉型。未來十年，電子商務預計將佔全球零售額的四分之一以上，這將推動對自動化履約、機器人技術、末端物流和高吞吐量倉儲基礎設施的大量投資，以支援更快、更經濟高效的訂單處理。
  • 亞馬遜機器人已成為倉儲自動化領域最具影響力的企業之一。亞馬遜預計到2025年，將在全球300多個履約中心部署100萬台機器人，而2015年這一數字約為3萬台。該公司目前正在部署DeepFleet，這是一個全新的人工智慧驅動的編配平台，透過智慧交通管理和即時最佳化，將其機器人集群的效率提高了約10%。透過履約網路進行重大改造以及對自動化領域的投資，亞馬遜顯著提高了營運效率，並實現了約75%的客戶訂單的機器人輔助處理。同時，亞馬遜持續透過其10億美元的亞馬遜工業創新基金（AIIF）推動創新，投資於機器人、人工智慧、自動化、履約、運輸和供應鏈解決方案等領域的下一代技術。
  • 沃爾瑪與Symbotic公司已建立起全球零售物流領域最重要的自動化夥伴關係之一。自2017年Symbotic的機器人平台首次在沃爾瑪位於佛羅裡達州布魯克斯維爾的物流中心部署以來，雙方的合作已從試點部署擴展到覆蓋整個網路的轉型舉措。隨著沃爾瑪決定對其遍布全美的42個區域配送中心（RDC）進行自動化改造，Symbotic目前正在整個RDC網路中部署其人工智慧驅動的機器人和軟體平台。 2025年，Symbotic收購了沃爾瑪的先進系統和機器人業務，雙方簽署了一項策略協議，旨在為沃爾瑪的加速取貨和配送（APD）設施開發下一代自動化技術，從而進一步深化了雙方的合作。根據該協議，沃爾瑪已承諾為該開發案投入5.2億美元，並計劃在未來幾年內向400個APD中心部署自動化系統。這可能為 Symbotic 的未來累積訂單增加 50 億美元以上，並將自動化範圍從物流中心擴展到門市層級的履約和最後一公里營運。
  • 在近岸外包、電子商務擴張以及供應鏈與終端市場距離不斷縮短的推動下，東歐正崛起為歐洲最具吸引力的倉儲自動化成長區域之一。波蘭已成為該地區領先的物流樞紐，擁有超過3500萬平方公尺的現代化倉庫面積，使其成為歐洲最大的倉儲市場之一。波蘭也吸引了來自全球零售商、第三方物流 (3PL) 服務商和製造商的大量投資。具有競爭力的勞動力成本、日益嚴重的人手不足以及持續的基礎設施投資，正在加速波蘭、捷克、斯洛伐克和匈牙利等國對機器人、自主移動機器人 (AMR)、自動化立體倉庫 (ASRS) 和倉庫管理軟體的採用。隨著企業擴大將中東歐作為進入西歐和東歐市場的門戶，預計未來十年該地區的倉儲自動化產業將實現高於平均的成長。
  • 在全球最大的電子商務生態系統、快速的物流現代化以及政府對智慧製造的大力支持下，中國已成為倉儲自動化領域的全球領導者。以極客科技（Geek+）、海機器人（Hai Robotics）、海康機器人（Hikrobot）、快創（Quicktron）、新松（Siasun）、多路機器人（Multiway Robotics）、維視機器人（VisionNav Robotics）、世爾機器人（SEER Robotics）和利標機器人（Libiao Robotics）為領導企業的新一代中國自動化領導企業，正引領著自主移動機器人（AMR）、自動箱體搬運機器人（ACR）、機器人揀選、高密度儲存以及人工智慧驅動的倉庫編配等領域的創新。極客科技已在全球950多個倉庫部署解決方案，處理了超過100億筆訂單。同時，快創已為全球1000多家客戶部署了超過4.2萬台AMR，生動展現了中國自動化生態系統的規模和成熟度。中國供應商正利用具有成本競爭力、以軟體為中心且高度擴充性的自動化平台，加速向歐洲、北美、東南亞和中東擴張，挑戰現有的全球領導者，並試圖將中國定位為倉儲自動化技術的主要出口國。
  • 儘管整體經濟不確定性，但對倉儲自動化的資本投資仍強勁。這主要歸功於企業日益重視生產力、員工韌性和供應鏈敏捷性。大規模物流中心通常每個設施在自動化方面投資1,000萬美元至1億美元以上，而大型零售商和物流公司則持續投入數十億美元用於網路現代化和機器人部署。此外，該行業正從傳統的固定位置自動化轉向模組化自主移動機器人（AMR）、人工智慧驅動的軟體以及「貨到人」系統，這些系統可在約2-5年內收回投資。再加上機器人即服務（RaaS）和訂閱模式的快速普及（可將初始投資減少60-80%），這些資金籌措和技術趨勢預計將顯著擴大自動化應用，預計未來五年市場將保持兩位數的成長。

第10章 範圍和定義

第11章：調查方法

The global warehouse automation market has reached a strategic inflection point. Navigating beyond a well-documented phase of macroeconomic calibration and structural realignment, the sector is entering a broad-based, high-velocity expansion phase. Direct quantitative modeling by LogisticsIQ positions the global warehouse automation market to reach $64 Billion by 2032, sustained by an accelerating CAGR of 12% from 2026 through 2032.

While market visibility often centers on high-profile installations, the underlying reality is stark: 80% of operational warehouses worldwide remain completely manual, lacking any automation support. This profound structural vacuum represents an unprecedented, multi-billion-dollar runway for enterprise commercial growth, technology replacement cycles, and private equity capital deployment.

This study serves as the definitive global reference tool across the corporate spectrum. It provides system integrators with critical competitor benchmarking, mobile robotics OEMs with clear software integration pathways, component manufacturers with exact addressable demand sizing, tier-1 management consultancies with validated modeling baselines, and investment firms with the exact data needed to evaluate enterprise multiples. The 6th edition of our market study, synthesized from over 100 deep-dive stakeholder interviews and an exhaustive evaluation of more than 700 global players, provides a clear view to the structural shifts defining the industry today.

Warehouse Automation Drivers:

  • The Greenfield-to-Brownfield Structural Pivot: As macroeconomic variables cause a slowdown in new global greenfield construction, the industry’s primary value pool has shifted decisively toward retrofitting existing brownfield assets. This report analyses how layout limitations are altering the demand for traditional conveyors and driving the adoption of high-density Cube-Based AS/RS and infrastructure-free mobile fleets.
  • The Software-Defined Orchestration Shift: Hardware performance characteristics are standardizing, causing the industry’s competitive moat to migrate from physical machinery to software orchestration. We provide a comprehensive look at how Warehouse Execution Systems (WES) and AI machine vision platforms are converging to dictate equipment selection, completely reshaping the landscape for software developers, vision providers, and system integrators alike.
  • Quantifying the Automation Frontiers: Beyond established modalities, we calculate the exact financial trajectory of frontier solutions, from Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) executing automated piece-picking to Automatic Truck Loading Systems (ATLS) engineered to resolve terminal dock bottlenecks. Crucially, the report tracks how MRO and Digital Services are scaling to generate high-margin, recurring revenues that protect technology vendors from cyclical project capital expenditure downturns.

KEY FINDINGS

Warehouse Automation Adoption Accelerates as Labor Shortages, eCommerce Growth, and Evolving Consumer Expectations Reshape Supply Chains

  • US, Germany and China are the key market: The U.S., China, and Germany continue to lead the warehouse automation landscape, supported by their position as major global manufacturing, trade, and logistics hubs. North America remains the largest regional market, while Europe accounts for roughly one-third of global logistics activity and hosts many of the industry’s leading automation providers. Looking ahead, the fastest growth is expected in Asia-Pacific, particularly India and Southeast Asia driven by strong eCommerce growth and supply-chain modernization, while emerging markets such as the Middle East, Brazil, Mexico, Poland, and the Czech Republic are gaining prominence as companies diversify and regionalize their supply chains.
  • Online Grocery becoming the top attraction for warehouse automation: Grocery remains one of the most logistics-intensive retail segments due to high order volumes, frequent replenishment cycles, and stringent freshness requirements. As online grocery sales continue to expand and retailers pursue faster fulfillment models, automation investments in micro-fulfillment centers (MFCs), robotics, and automated storage systems are accelerating. Leading retailers and solution providers-including Walmart–Symbotic, Kroger–Ocado, and Alibaba’s Freshippo, have demonstrated the strategic importance of automation, while industry estimates indicate the MFC market could exceed $10 billion by 2032, supported by growth rate of ~15%. 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 such as AutoStore, Ocado, Exotec, Symbotic, Attabotics, OPEX, Fabric, Geek+, and Urbx Logistics.
  • AGV/AMR will remain the key technology to adopt: AGV and AMR market is expected to become the fastest-growing segment of warehouse automation, driven by accelerating eCommerce fulfillment requirements, labour shortages, and the need for flexible, scalable automation. Unlike traditional fixed automation, AMRs can be deployed with minimal infrastructure changes, making them particularly attractive for small and mid-sized warehouses seeking rapid ROI and operational agility. As a result, mobile robotics is expected to account for more than 25% of the warehouse automation market by 2032, led by technology providers such as Geek+, Hai Robotics, GreyOrange, Locus Robotics, Quicktron, Hikrobot, Seegrid, MiR (Teradyne), OTTO Motors, and Omron, among others. While ASRS solutions continue to offer higher throughput, AMRs are increasingly preferred for their lower deployment costs, flexibility, and ability to support dynamic fulfillment operations. A key emerging trend is the integration of AI-enabled robotic manipulators and mobile picking robots, which combine autonomous navigation with robotic arms to automate piece-picking, sortation, depalletizing, and mixed-case order fulfillment, further expanding the scope of warehouse automation.
  • Picking systems are still largely manual: Order picking remains the most labor-intensive and operationally complex activity within modern warehouses, making it a key focus area for automation investments. While manual picking continues to play an important role in high-SKU environments such as eCommerce and online grocery, warehouses are increasingly adopting goods-to-person systems, RFID-enabled identification, pick-to-light, and pick-to-voice technologies to improve productivity, accuracy, and labor efficiency in picking system market worth ~$5B by 2032. Automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) and robotic picking solutions are further reducing dependence on manual labor by streamlining item retrieval and order fulfillment. The latest wave of innovation is centered on AI-powered piece-picking robots and robotic manipulators capable of handling diverse products, irregular shapes, and mixed-SKU orders with greater accuracy and speed. Companies such as Dexterity, Covariant, Plus One Robotics, Berkshire Grey, RightHand Robotics, Fizyr, Osaro, and Pickr AI are advancing vision-guided robotic picking, enabling warehouses to automate increasingly complex picking tasks that were previously considered too challenging for robotics, thereby accelerating the transition toward fully autonomous fulfillment operations.

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 $10 trillion by 2030, while online shopping adoption exceeded 2.3 billion consumers globally, highlighting the continued shift toward digital retail channels. Looking ahead, eCommerce is expected to account for more than a quarter of global retail sales over the next decade, driving significant investments in automated fulfillment, robotics, last-mile logistics, and high-throughput warehouse infrastructure to support faster and more cost-efficient order fulfillment.
  • Amazon Robotics has become one of the most influential forces in warehouse automation, with Amazon surpassing the milestone of 1 million deployed robots across more than 300 fulfillment and logistics facilities globally in 2025, compared to approximately 30,000 robots in 2015. The company is now integrating its new AI-powered orchestration platform, DeepFleet, which improves robotic fleet efficiency by roughly 10% through intelligent traffic management and real-time optimization. Following significant fulfillment network redesign efforts and automation investments, Amazon has materially improved operational productivity while enabling robot-assisted handling in approximately 75% of customer orders. In parallel, Amazon continues to stimulate innovation through its US$1 billion Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund (AIIF), investing in next-generation technologies spanning robotics, AI, automation, fulfillment, transportation, and supply chain solutions.
  • Walmart and Symbotic have evolved one of the most significant automation partnerships in global retail logistics. After initially deploying Symbotic’s robotics platform at Walmart’s Brooksville, Florida distribution center in 2017, the collaboration expanded from a pilot deployment to a network-wide transformation initiative. Following Walmart’s decision to automate all 42 U.S. regional distribution centers, Symbotic is currently deploying its AI-enabled robotics and software platform across the entire RDC network. In 2025, the partnership deepened further when Symbotic acquired Walmart’s Advanced Systems and Robotics business and signed a strategic agreement to develop next-generation automation for Walmart’s Accelerated Pickup and Delivery (APD) facilities. Under the agreement, Walmart committed US$520 million toward the development program and plans to deploy automation systems across 400 APD centers over multiple years, potentially adding more than US$5 billion to Symbotic’s future backlog while extending automation beyond distribution centers into store-level fulfillment and last-mile operations.
  • Eastern Europe is emerging as one of the most attractive warehouse automation growth regions in Europe, driven by nearshoring, eCommerce expansion, and the relocation of supply chains closer to end markets. Poland has established itself as the region’s leading logistics hub, with modern warehouse stock exceeding 35 million sq. m., ranking among the largest warehouse markets in Europe, while attracting significant investment from global retailers, 3PLs, and manufacturers. Competitive labor economics, growing labor shortages, and continued infrastructure investment are accelerating adoption of robotics, AMRs, ASRS, and warehouse software across Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. As companies increasingly use Central and Eastern Europe as a gateway to both Western and Eastern European markets, the region is expected to deliver above-average growth in warehouse automation over the remainder of the decade.
  • China has established itself as the global leader in warehouse automation, fuelled by the world’s largest eCommerce ecosystem, rapid logistics modernization, and strong government support for intelligent manufacturing. A new generation of Chinese automation champions, including Geek+, Hai Robotics, Hikrobot, Quicktron, Siasun, Multiway Robotics, VisionNav Robotics, SEER Robotics, and Libiao Robotics, is driving innovation across AMRs, autonomous case-handling robots (ACRs), robotic picking, high-density storage, and AI-enabled warehouse orchestration. Geek+ has deployed solutions across more than 950 warehouses globally and processed over 10 billion orders, while Quicktron has implemented over 42,000 AMRs for more than 1,000 customers worldwide, underscoring the scale and maturity of China’s automation ecosystem. Chinese providers are increasingly expanding into Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, leveraging cost-competitive, software-centric, and highly scalable automation platforms to challenge established global leaders and position China as a major exporter of warehouse automation technology.
  • Warehouse automation capex remains robust despite broader economic uncertainty, as operators increasingly prioritize productivity, labour resilience, and supply-chain agility. Large-scale distribution centers are typically investing anywhere from US$10–100+ million per facility in automation, while leading retailers and logistics providers continue to commit billions of dollars toward network modernization and robotics deployment. The industry is also witnessing a shift from traditional fixed automation toward modular AMRs, AI-driven software, and goods-to-person systems that can deliver payback periods of approximately 2–5 years. Combined with the rapid adoption of Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) and subscription-based models, which can lower upfront investments by up to 60–80%, these financing and technology trends are expected to significantly expand automation penetration and sustain double-digit market growth over the next five years.
