Behind the US, China is the largest single market for warehouse automation. China has more warehouses than the US, Canada, and Mexico combined, and its labor costs are increasing as China’s workforce is becoming more skilled. Understanding China’s complex and nuanced warehouse automation is a strategic imperative for international system integrators, especially for those looking to enter the market.
This report provides a deep-dive analysis on China’s warehouse automation, providing data, commentary, and insight on policies, technologies, end-users, and domestic automation vendors. We discuss the key end-users and their historic, current, and future investments in automation, major policy trends in China relating to warehouse automation, and the performance of domestic automation vendors and system integrators.

“Lockdowns and social distancing measures implemented to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic caused a wholesale disruption of traditional brick-and-mortar retail. In less than a year, US e-commerce penetration rose from ~10% of all retail sales in late 2019 to roughly 15% by the end of 2020. With global e-commerce online sales projected to more than double over the next five years, 28,500 warehouses will be added to the global stock. A significant portion of these new warehouses will be direct-to-consumer fulfillment centers necessitating significant labor and automation investments.”

Over the years, we’ve developed and refined our view of what micro-fulfillment is and how to define it. We’ve come to the conclusion that micro-fulfillment is less about the size of the facility, but rather more about the radius of delivery. As such, the scope of this report is constrained by delivery radius, rather than facility size.
Whilst the report looks at all forms of micro-fulfillment (both manual and automated), the main focus will still be on automated micro-fulfillment centers.
In addition to providing wealth of granular market data, this report will also explore what the biggest barriers limiting the uptake of micro-fulfillment centers, along with the key attributes that retailers are looking for when selecting an automation partner.

While the use of stationary robots in manufacturing environments is well established, their adoption in warehouse operations has been accelerating in recent years. Driven by the rapid growth of e-commerce and persistent labor shortages – particularly the declining willingness to perform repetitive work – robotics solutions are increasing in demand in the warehouse.
This market study examines the total addressable market for stationary robots in the warehouse, analyses the key barriers that have contributed to the relatively slow adoption of stationary robotics in certain segments, and offers a detailed assessment of the competitive dynamics among market participants.
