Global Retail Robotics Market Definition

Retail robotics is no longer a concept of the past, the penetration of automation is increasing in several industries, of which its infiltration in retail can be seen to be increasing through retail robotics. The retail sector is one of the principal industries that has benefited from AI and robotics implementation. Through the implementation of automation and intelligence i.e. retail robotics, retailers are able to revise their strategies and become more customer-centric. These robots are also able to handle responsibilities such as inventory monitoring and fulfillment needs of today's omnichannel orders. While concerns have arisen regarding automation leading to job losses, the increasing use of retail robotics, especially in high-profile retailers is inevitable.

Currently, major robot tests are underway in retail stores, they have been witnessed to have transformed the supply chain operations in many retail warehouses and distribution centers. In addition, innovations in computer vision, AI, deep learning, and robotic mechanics are facilitating robots is becoming increasingly adept at performing traditionally harder-to-automate tasks.

Global Retail Robotics Market Overview

Retail robots help to improve customer engagement, gives a personalized experience, thus enhancing customer satisfaction. The ability of retail robots to cater to customers personally is driving the growth of the market. The application of robotics to one or more of these processes increases the efficiency of the operation promoting business growth. Through the use of retail robotics, retailers are able to carry out tasks such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs stock, processing, and analyzing large amounts of information. Ability to track customers lead to the eventual capability of retail robotics to gather information on the demand of various products, thereby enabling them to make more informed decisions. The logistic industry, as a result of the e-commerce revolution, faces a shortage of labor, while the need for more rapid parcel shipments that too with a huge variety of different packing is on a rise. The use of robots in logistics is still at a nascent stage and yet to make any significant impact, however, it is a real option to combat the challenge of labor availability in the industry.

For retail businesses that are just starting to introduce technologies into their business, the initial cost of retail robots can be high and therefore seem off-putting. Security and data privacy for retail robots deals with both safe data storage and consent management as well as protection of the data from hackers. Keeping data from being exploited and keeping systems from being corrupted is a major concern for companies, especially when it comes to storing information of the customer. Data privacy, therefore, acts as a restraint for the market.
