Logistics Automation Market by Component, Function, Logistics Type (Procurement/Inbound Logistics, Sales/Outbound Logistics) Software Application (Inventory Management, Order Management), Vertical and Region - Global Forecast to 2028

The global logistics automation market size is projected to grow from USD 32.7 billion in 2023 to USD 51.2 billion by 2028, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.3% during the forecast period. The logistics industry is benefiting from advances in technology, such as robotics, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT) in logistics automation market.

Based on Function, the inventory and storage management segment is expected to hold a larger market share during the forecast period

The inventory and storage management segment is projected to account for larger market share in 2023 to 2028. Inventory and storage management includes tasks, such as material handling, order processing, demand forecasting, and packaging, in addition to inventory control, plant and warehouse site selection, distribution management, and salvage and scrap disposal. Companies customize warehouse and storage management solutions according to their specific requirements. These solutions are aimed at improving safety and security and optimizing operations with real-time global positioning system (GPS) tracking. Thus, warehouse operating companies are adopting warehouse and storage management solutions to manage inventory by streamlining storage and distribution operations.

Based on Organization size, the SMEs segment to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

SMEs are focused on the deployment of logistics automation solutions to enhance competitiveness and reduce operating costs. Even though the high cost involved in automating logistics processes, the adoption of logistics automation solutions offers long-term RoI. However, SMEs are unable to automate logistics processes fully. With advancements in automation technology and intense competition among vendors, the cost of automating warehouses is declining. This, in turn, will enable SMEs to adopt automation solutions and services in the near opportunity. Furthermore, the adoption of cloud-based logistics automation software is expected to rise in SMEs as they require only required functions and features for small-scale warehouse operations.
