仓库自动化市场（物流自动化）：到2028年将达到440亿美元-按技术、按行业、按地区划分国家（第四版）

全球仓库自动化市场预计到 2028 年将达到 440 亿美元大关，2023 年至 2028 年复合年增长率为 15%。

当然，推动仓库自动化的运动早在 COVID-19 之前就已如火如荼地展开，但全球大流行迫使企业将其仓库自动化策略转变为维持行业所必需的策略。我们一直在被迫将类别从 "没什么好失去的" 改为 "必须拥有" 的类别。 从COVID-19 大流行中学到的教训之一是，我们需要以长远的眼光看待并透过关注各种大趋势（老化、全球化、健康与安全、流动性、绿色物流、自动化等）来应对任何挑战。全球化、城市化、个人化、数位化等比以往任何时候都需要更多地考虑和强调。

2021年，仓库自动化公司订单量庞大，但由于供应链限制，收入成长有限。 结果，该行业最终在 2022 年出现了创纪录的积压，而由于经济放缓和宏观不确定性，积压在 2023 年有所下降。 进入2024年，企业重新开始接受订单，但由于消费者支出疲软、通膨高企和地缘政治紧张局势，零售商对资本投资仍持谨慎态度。

由于劳动成本上升以及电子商务、零售和 3PL 物流领域消费者需求的若干结构性趋势，我们认为仓库自动化市场存在重大的长期成长机会。 儘管由于2023 年经济放缓，零售和电子商务将出现暂时收缩，但2023 年人们对仓库自动化的兴趣将会很高，这将从2024 年起转化为这些系统整合商和製造商的新订单和收入。

仓库自动化市场报告亮点

• 仓库自动化设备的供应商和行业顾问正在看到数据分析、5G、数位服务和后电晕时代的新趋势，这些趋势是由不断变化的人口结构、不断增长的电子商务渗透率以及工业物联网的兴起，随着自动化操作需求的增加，我们预计长期销售成长将在10%左右。
• 竞争格局：物料搬运设备领域约有15家主要公司可以提供全面的自动化仓库解决方案，年收入超过10亿美元，收入在2亿美元至1美元之间亿，有15至20家中型企业。 许多新创公司在AMR、基于立方体的ASRS、拣选机器人、微型履行、自主服务提供者等新类别中不断涌现，但排名前10 位的大型参与者（Dematic、Daifuku、SSI Schaefer、Honeywell Intelligerated、Knapp、 Toyota Advance） Logistics、Muratec、Beumer Group、Fortna 和 Witron）占据了超过 50% 的市场份额。 近年来，Symbotic 作为新玩家崛起，挑战美国的老牌玩家。
• 服务（MRO 和数位）的重要性日益增加：随着自动化仓库解决方案安装基础的成长，公司预期服务和维护收入将会增加。 到 2028 年，预计将带来 110 亿美元的机遇，占整个市场（包括数位服务）的近 25%。
• 商业模式也随着最终用户对高资本支出的即时痛点而改变。 由于 RaaS（机器人即服务）的灵活性、可扩展性以及比传统机器人程式更低的入门成本，越来越多的公司开始转向 RaaS。 拣选即服务业务模式通常每次拣选的成本在 6 美分到 10 美分之间，而 AMR 即服务通常按月租赁（取决于合约期限）每个机器人。价格从每月750 美元到每月数千美元不等。
• 产业整合：过去五年，物料搬运设备供应商之间的整合不断加强。 这是因为传统公司发现收购新技术领导者是应对不断变化的市场趋势和定位自己的更有吸引力的方式。

您需要了解的事实

• 过去十年，全球电子商务销售额的复合年增长率为 20%，预计到 2021 年全球将达到约 5 兆美元，到 2027 年将增长到超过 8 兆美元。网路零售额占零售总额的比重预计将从2%上升到19%，到2030年将达到25%以上。
• Amazon Robotics 使用超过 750,000 个自主移动机器人来实现其配送中心的自动化，比 2015 年底的 30,000 个增长了 25 倍。 亚马逊一直在迎头赶上，以匹配供需。 配送成本占销售额的百分比将从 2020 年的约 15% 上升到 2022 年的 16-17%。 亚马逊创建了一项名为 AIIF 的 10 亿美元风险投资计划，以促进和支持客户履行、物流和供应链方面的创新。
• 沃尔玛宣布与 Symbotic 合作，重新构想该零售商的区域配送网路。 Symbotic 于 2017 年在佛罗里达州布鲁克斯维尔的沃尔玛配送中心首次安装了该系统。 此后，两家公司共同努力优化该系统。 2021 年 7 月，沃尔玛宣布与 Symbotic 合作，在其区域网路中实施其高科技自动化系统，并计划在其 42 个 RDC 中的 25 个实施该技术。 2022 年 5 月，两家公司扩大了商业协议，在未来几年内将 Symbotic 的机器人和软体自动化平台引入沃尔玛的所有 42 个区域配送中心。
• 欧洲领先的线上时尚和生活方式平台 Zalando 在波兰开设了第三个营运中心。 波兰的两个履行中心将为 Zalando 不断增长的客户群提供服务，一个物流站点将负责 Zalando Lounge 的送货。
• 在黑色星期五、网路星期一、亚马逊 Prime 会员日、感恩节和光棍节等主要购物节日前后出现劳动力需求高峰期间，仓库劳动力短缺也是一个问题。 仓库必须在高峰时段僱用临时工，以满足客户的交货时程。 供应链机器人公司菜鸟在中国最大的机器人操作仓库中安装了 700 多台机器人来处理 "双十一" 订单。
• 阿里巴巴历史上首次拒绝公布 2022 年销售数据，称销售额将与 2021 年 "处于同一水平" 。 阿里巴巴的竞争对手中国第二大零售商京东也首次没有公布销售数据，儘管该公司称这些数据 "创纪录" 。 2022年全平台双十一销售额在1,300亿美元至1,500亿美元之间，较2021年成长3%至13%。 分析师预计 2023 年双十一的成长将处于低个位数。

亚马逊开始竞相实现仓库和供应链自动化

机器人和自动化正迅速成为电子商务的关键成功因素，并将对物流世界产生巨大影响。 从自主移动机器人和自动化仓储系统，到追踪技术和先进的供应链软体，一切都是为了更快、更安全、更无错误的物流，更快的上市时间，以及最终更快、更安全、更少的错误。免费物流。它改变了游戏规则，使消费者能够降低成本。

亚马逊一直是仓库自动化产业诞生的主要推手。 2005 年，亚马逊推出了 Prime，这是一项针对约 100 万种产品的快速会员计画。 Amazon Prime 目前拥有超过1 亿会员，为超过3000 万件商品提供免费无限制送货服务，为超过100 万件商品提供免费当日送货服务，并在特定城市为数万件商品提供服务。我们在1-2 小时内送达。 Prime 最终透过规模和自动化证明了永续发展，使亚马逊占据了美国电子商务市场 35% 以上的份额。 现在它已成为线上零售业事实上的基准，将消费者对配送性能的期望设定到非常高的水平。

零售商在线上营运的一大优势是能够将非常大的库存文件保存在一个地方并将其分发到世界各地。 这使得零售商能够库存比每家商店库存更多的产品 (SKU)，而不会产生库存风险。 聚合网站的成功清楚地表明，增加产品选择可以增加长期销售量。 仓库自动化使零售商能够处理比以往更多的库存，从而推动成长。

如果不利用机器人和自动化技术的尖端进步，亚马逊 Prime 就不可能实现，该公司已将其转变为可持续竞争优势的来源。 2012年，亚马逊以7.75亿美元收购了Kiva Systems。 Kiva Systems（现称为 Amazon Robotics）率先使用自主移动机器人实现仓库自动化，并引入了革命性的订单处理方法。 Kiva 机器人由最先进的控制软体控制，可在仓库中自主移动，动态移动装有订购产品的货架并进行包装以履行订单。 Amazon Robotics 目前拥有超过 75 万个自主移动机器人，实现其配送中心的自动化，比 2015 年底的 30,000 个增加了 25 倍多。

自2015年以来，Kiva技术仅限于亚马逊的仓库，因此许多公司争先恐后地填补空白，各种自主的移动机器人系统现在已经普遍存在。 该行业仍处于起步阶段，老牌企业包括最近被中国消费电子巨头美的收购的 KUKA 子公司 Swisslog 和同样被日本欧姆龙收购的 Adept，以及 Fetch Robotics 和 Universal Robotics 等美国公司。从联合创始人发起的丹麦移动工业机器人(MiR)，到总部位于新加坡、在印度拥有客户的GreyOrange，再到中国海康威视子公司Hikrobot Technologies 等众多新创公司。

亚马逊斥资 140 亿美元收购 Whole Foods Markets，对电子商务和物流业影响深远，意味着网上杂货购物即将迎来黄金时段。这也预示着。 我们相信此次收购是美国线上杂货市场的决定性事件。 该市场仍处于起步阶段，仅占美国 6,750 亿美元食品杂货市场的 2%，占较发达的英国市场的 6% 左右。 克罗格与艾伯森的合併可能会成为零售自动化领域的下一个游戏规则改变者。 近年来，像 Ocado 这样的纯线上杂货服务已经测试并证明了具有非常高自动化强度的商业模式，但规模相对有限。 另一方面，传统杂货零售商却一直在与最后一英里的物流噩梦作斗争。 杂货的拣选和运输面临冷炼等物流挑战。

订单拣选对机器人来说仍然是一个挑战

亚马逊评论说，商业上可行的自动拣选仍然是一个 "艰鉅的挑战" 。

一款能够实现自动订单拣选的机器人已经发布。 大多数机器人供应商和仓库自动化公司都会生产各种订单拣选机器人。 这些订单拣选机器人从托盘上 "拣选" 包裹，将其放入纸箱或盒子中，然后将其放在传送带系统上以进行进一步交付。

有些公司，例如 IAM Robotics，使用 Fanuc 的带有手臂的自主移动采摘机器人 "Swift" 。 这些机器人通常被归类为协作机器人（cobots），它们从货架上挑选物品的能力通常与自动引导车辆有关，该车辆将它们从货架运输到仓库的包装和运输部分。 2020年，Ocado同意以2.62亿美元收购旧金山机器人公司Kindred Systems，以2,500万美元收购拉斯维加斯Haddington Dynamics，以加强其拣选和包装能力。 另外，Ocado Group 于 2023 年从 Shopify 收购了 6 River Robotics，这是一家针对物流和非食品零售领域的协作 AMR 履行解决方案提供商。

到 2028 年，仓库自动化市场的最大部分将是电子商务，其次是杂货市场

电商和杂货对仓库自动化设备的需求最高，到2028年成长率将超过10%。 电子商务的成长也推动了印度、印尼、拉丁美洲以及中欧和东欧等历史上此类解决方案渗透率很低的地区对自动化解决方案的需求。 在新兴国家，现代仓库空间的需求量很大。

亚太地区将成为最大的仓库自动化市场，其中印度由于其在电子商务方面的巨大潜力，预计将呈现全球最高的成长。 印度的 GreyOrange 和 Addverb Technologies 等区域新创公司表明，更在地化的解决方案也在电子商务企业中获得了认可。

美国目前是最大的仓库自动化市场，鑑于全自动化仓库仅占美国仓库总面积的不到5%，预计将继续保持领先地位。 更快的履约率、劳动力短缺以及仓库员工的更高工资预计将推动自动化技术的采用。 在电子商务的显着成长以及京东等公司的大量 SKU 处理和运输的推动下，中国排名第二，仅次于美国。

目前，10家主要公司占据了50%以上的市场份额，但预计未来还会出现更多併购。

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.

• 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. Acquisitions like Rockwell Automation (Clearpath Robotics, OTTO Motors), Jungheinrich (Magazino), SSI Schafer (DS Automotion), Zebra (Fetch Robotics, Matrox), ABB (ASTI), Toyota (Vanderlande, Bastian Solutions, ViaStore), Murata Machinery (Cimcorp), Locus Robotics (Waypoint), Hitachi (JR Automation), KPI Solutions (Kuecker Logistics Group, Pulse Integration, QC Software), Ocado (6 River Systems, Kindred, Haddington Dynamics), Element Logic (SDI), Honeywell (Intelligrated, Transnorm), Körber (Cohesio Group, Siemens Logistics, HighJump), Teradyne (MiR, Energid, AutoGuide Mobile Robots), Jungheinrich (Arculus), KION (Dematic), KUKA (Swisslog) are just some of the examples of this consolidation.

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.
