In recent years, automation has been a key enabler across diverse industries, including logistics, which is majorly owing to rapidly expanding e-commerce and retail quick commerce sectors, increasing global obstacles relating to labor availability and maintenance, and a growing industrial shift towards adopting automation technologies in complex and unsafe logistical activities. Relatively, the overall logistics industry is additionally experiencing several developments, such as the incorporation of autonomous robots and drone-based solutions and investments in advanced and smart manufacturing hubs, showcasing the growing prominence of the deployment and development of logistical infrastructure with automated solutions.

Market Dynamics

Increasing Complexity in Supply Chain

The global supply chain dynamics is experiencing difficulties owing to expanding logistic business across geographies, cross-border regulations, involvement of several stakeholders, transportation issues, and increasing supply chain disruptions. The growing impediments to smooth logistical operation are gradually stimulating companies and logistic providers to integrate automated logistical solutions into the business workflow, to deliver seamless cross-border trade, optimize inventory management, better respond to transportation challenges, mitigate logistical risks, and enhance customer experience. Furthermore, the introduction and expansion of specialized solution providers for logistics are helping in the inclusion of automation technologies to raise productivity and profits and enhance the basis of decision-making. For instance, in July 2024, Rapyuta Robotics Inc. introduced its Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) in the US market. The system has been proven in Japan and features multi-agent coordination, a modular design, and flexible scalability, which improved the productivity of operations for picking and efficient storage of inventories.

Expansion of E-Commerce Industry

In recent years, the e-commerce industry has become a prominent contributor to the growth of the overall logistics market. Its contribution is anticipated to extend in the future owing to the rapid expansion of e-commerce companies across geographies, shifting consumer buying patterns towards online channels, and increasing adoption of omnichannel distribution approaches by market players. The growth trajectory is augmented by the acceptance of different types of automation technologies in e-commerce, which include automated sorting systems, transport management software enabled by artificial intelligence, and robotic solutions for goods management. Additionally, the dominance of quick commerce for providing same-day or 10-minute deliveries and flexibility in the return feature are together facilitating the incorporation of advanced and automated mechanisms to cater to the enormous demands and enhanced productivity. For instance, according to the International Trade Administration, the global B2B e-commerce market is anticipated to reach $36 trillion in 2026, when APAC will be about 80% of the portion. Growth is additionally visible in Latin America and the Middle East. Since 2020, over 90% of B2B companies have transitioned to virtual sales, although South Korean and Japanese consumers still favor traditional commerce. Further, the B2C e-commerce segment will reach $5.5 trillion by 2027, with fashion and consumer electronics as leaders, and BioHealth pharmaceuticals being the growth leader. India will be the biggest contributor to e-commerce growth, with a CAGR of 14.1% from 2023 to 2027.
