The global retail automation market is expected to expand at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5% during the forecast period. Customers’ evolving preferences and demands have led to complexities and variability in the supply chain. Moreover, concepts like ‘last-mile delivery’ and ‘delivery on-demand’ have become essential factors for the success of the e-commerce industry. To make allowances for these changes and to enhance productivity, companies are turning to retail automation solutions. The need for adaptable and flexible logistics has given rise to the concept of elastic logistics. Industries such as e-commerce, manufacturing, and aerospace are looking to automate their warehouses with identification and positioning systems to improve inventory tracking. The introduction of autonomous trucks has enhanced the logistics automation process by further reducing manual interventions. Also, monitoring and inventory tracking is much easier using these vehicles
Further, urbanization is at an all-time high with more and more people coming to live in the cities which allows the retailers to expand their horizons in the developing countries. Demand for luxury and ready-to-eat food items will result in higher spending on food and groceries, which, in turn, making the retailers go for automation solutions.
Segmental Outlook
The retail automation market is segmented based on components and end-user. Based on the component, the retail automation market is segmented into hardware and software. To sub-segmentize, the hardware is based on RFID and barcode scanner, POS systems, vending machines, self-scan checkout systems, and other hardware types. Software is further evaluated as workforce management software, supply chain, and inventory management software retails apps and online store applications. Based on this, the market is classified into supermarkets/hypermarkets, convenience stores, fuel stations, and others.
Hardware-Based Retail Automation Systems to Lead the Market Share Owing to Increasing Warehousing Operations
The hardware segment is expected to have the highest market share throughout the analysis period. However, due to easier implementation and lower costs, the software segment is expected to have the highest growth rate. Even though automated retail equipment enhances efficiency, the high initial capital investments are a deterrent to the growth of the market. According to recent data, large enterprises that are willing to implement retail automation are eager to spend an average of 0.5 million on hardware related solutions. However, the total investment is expected to remain stable. Also, the market has a lot of opportunities since most large enterprises still have low to medium applicability of automated hardware, with only a few of them being completely automated. Automated conveyor systems, lift trucks, automated racks, and robotic picking are some of the top priorities of companies for investments in hardware for retail automation.
Regional Outlook
The global retail automation market is further segmented based on geography including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. The retail automation market in Europe and the Asia-Pacific is experiencing rapid growth and has a huge scope for enhancement. In addition, there is a positive return on investment in the automation processes as there is a strong opportunity for advancements in existing retailing operations, platforms, and solutions. The majority of the market players operating in this space are collaborating with numerous retailers, such as hypermarkets or supermarkets globally, which in turn is creating growth opportunities for players.
With 60% of the global population residing in Asia-Pacific, the prospect of growth for the retail automation market in the region is the highest. India and China are developing countries and are expected to contribute the most to the stimulating growth rate that is to be recorded in the Asia-Pacific. More and more key players are expected to plan the expansion of their retailing chains in India and China, with the opportunity of growing as the maximum.
