Executive Summary
The United States Warehouse Automation Market is growing due to the expansion of the manufacturing and eCommerce sectors. There has been a significant increase in the number of people using online services, owing to the fact that demand for warehouses has increased rapidly in the past few years. The acceptance rate of automated services in warehouses is increasing as there are more infrastructure projects underway, which is propelling the expansion of the warehouse automation market in the United States. Moreover, industrial warehouse automated machinery has become significantly more economical in recent years, and this trend is expected to continue.
The COVID-19 pandemic's most significant immediate effect on business was the shift of consumers to online shopping, which increased demand for eCommerce warehouse and distribution services. Warehouses had to contend with their own labour shortages, supply chain issues, and transportation problems in addition to trying to meet rising demand, which caused a variety of ongoing challenges. For warehouses to thrive in a constantly changing and unexpected environment, flexibility is essential. The pandemic has compelled businesses to review and restructure their logistics systems. In addition, many players decide to adopt warehouse automation systems.
Moreover, there were 5,190 fatal work injuries reported in the country in 2021, an 8.9% increase from 4,764 in 2020. The fatal work injury rate increased from 3.4 per 100,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) workers in 2020. One way to eliminate this challenge is by adopting automation technology in the warehouse industry.
Performance of Segmentation
By Type: The US Warehouse Automation Market by Type is divided into private and semi-private warehouses and public warehouses. Private and semi-private warehouses are those that were built and/or are owned by the business that owns the goods kept inside.
Public Warehouses: These are facilities that are run as separate businesses and provide a range of services, including handling, storage, and transportation, for a set or variable fee that is calculated per pallet.
By Level: The US Warehouse Automation Market by Level is divided into LEVEL 0, LEVEL 1, LEVEL 2, LEVEL 3, and LEVEL 4.
By Technology: The US warehouse Automation market by Technology is divided into AGV vs AMR, Picking Systems, Storage Systems, Conveyor & Sortation System, Palletizing & Depalletizing, WMS, AIDC and Others. AGV & AMR are one of the common and rapidly emerging technologies in the US and around the world. We are seeing an evolution of increasingly simplified warehousing technologies and facilities as e-commerce grows globally. The process of fulfilling orders is being revolutionized by new warehouse management techniques and automation, which are enhancing warehouse productivity and the diversity of logistics operations.
Future Outlook
In the coming years, the market for warehouse automation is anticipated to experience phenomenal expansion. Robotic technology will be used to perform 45% of all production by 2025, according to the Bank of America. Large corporations have followed this trend by replacing workers with automated equipment in their facilities, including Raymond Limited. On the other hand, modern manufacturing facilities rely on new inventions and technology to manufacture goods of greater quality more quickly and cheaply.
Some of the major factors that will propel the growth of the automated guided vehicle market in the upcoming years include rising technological advancements and rising demands for automation in industries. Whereas, to improve their material handling processes, warehousing and retailing enterprises are working with technology firms and suppliers of automation solutions. Additionally, massive e-commerce corporations keep buying autonomous robot vendors to expand their warehousing operations.
