Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market – By Technology

Based on technology, the Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market is segmented into automated guided vehicles (AGV), IoT and analytics, RFID, AI in warehouses, blockchain, and others. AGVs account for the highest share of the Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market by technology. The AGV technology is capable of reducing labor and improving workflow in inventory management. Various types of AGVs, such as stackers, tow tractors, and pallet handlers, are employed to overcome the shortage of labor in warehousing, which has significantly contributed to its growth in the Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market.

Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market

The intensifying geopolitical tensions in the world disrupted the growth of the Asia Pacific smart warehousing market. The raging war between Israel and Palestine sends shockwaves across various industries, particularly in the Middle Eastern countries, transcending geographic boundaries and affecting businesses globally. The conflict between Israel and Palestine has been a longstanding, deeply entrenched geopolitical issue. On October 07, 2023, Hamas, a Palestinian military organization, in a surprise and heavy attack, struck Israel with thousands of rockets and infiltrations. In response, the prime minister of Israel declared war against Hamas and anticipated that the war would be ‘long and difficult.’ As of November 22, 2023, it was estimated that more than 14,500 people had been killed in Gaza since the start of the war.

The conflict between Israel and Palestine disrupted the semiconductor production in Israel, which is a crucial component in various advanced technologies, such as IoT sensors. Organic semiconductor integrated circuits are required for some IoT applications. A smart warehousing facility is established through smart sensors, robots, scanners, and other equipment. However, the shortage of semiconductors due to lack of production and disruptions in the supply chain is directly hindering the adoption of smart warehousing in the APAC region.
