Report Overview

Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market - Industry Trends & Forecast Report, 2029

Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market size was estimated to be worth USD 3.71 billion in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, the Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.37%, reaching a value of USD 7.47 billion by 2029. Major growth factors for the Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market include an expanding e-commerce sector and the increasing adoption of automation and robotics in the warehousing sector. Furthermore, the rising focus on minimizing the carbon footprint is anticipated to present lucrative growth opportunities during the forecast period.

Smart Warehouse – Overview

A warehouse is a large building that holds both manufactured goods and raw materials. A smart warehouse uses machinery and computers to perform routine tasks that were previously completed by humans in the warehouse. In contrast to typical warehouses, smart warehousing enables stakeholders to maximize automation, acquire real-time updates, and optimize manual processes. As a result, smart warehouses greatly lower picking mistakes and contribute to a decrease in product returns. Improved order accuracy in the warehouse boosts customer happiness, encourages repeat business, and fosters customer loyalty.

Growth Drivers

Surging Demand for Improved Visibility and Traceability

The expanding manufacturing in the emerging economies of Asia Pacific, including China, India, and Japan, is influencing the need for improved efficiency at warehouses. This results in companies investing in deploying robots and automation into their operations. The implementation of advanced technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), collaborative robots, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), and other smart components, not only allows warehouse owners to achieve higher efficiency but also subsequently leads to smoother workflow and lower operational costs by reducing the cost of labor training. Furthermore, smart technologies directly contribute to higher customer satisfaction with lower costs and faster shipping, which is emerging as a key driving factor for the Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market.

Restraints

Initial High Investments

Smart warehousing is known to reduce the overall overhead cost of the facility in the long run. However, high upfront costs and initial investment may act as a major restraint for its Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market growth. Smart warehousing involves several components, such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs), warehouse management systems (WMS), and others. The price of an AGV alone can vary from USD 40,000 to USD 200,000, depending on the vehicle's size, kind, load capacity, and navigation system. It may limit the adoption of smart warehousing technologies, particularly among SMEs, in the Asia Pacific region.

Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on the Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market

The intensifying geopolitical tensions in the world disrupted the growth of the Asia Pacific smart warehousing market. The raging war between Israel and Palestine sends shockwaves across various industries, particularly in the Middle Eastern countries, transcending geographic boundaries and affecting businesses globally. The conflict between Israel and Palestine has been a longstanding, deeply entrenched geopolitical issue. On October 07, 2023, Hamas, a Palestinian military organization, in a surprise and heavy attack, struck Israel with thousands of rockets and infiltrations. In response, the prime minister of Israel declared war against Hamas and anticipated that the war would be ‘long and difficult.’ As of November 22, 2023, it was estimated that more than 14,500 people had been killed in Gaza since the start of the war.

The conflict between Israel and Palestine disrupted the semiconductor production in Israel, which is a crucial component in various advanced technologies, such as IoT sensors. Organic semiconductor integrated circuits are required for some Internet of Things applications. A smart warehousing facility is established through smart sensors, robots, scanners, and other equipment. However, the shortage of semiconductors due to lack of production and disruptions in the supply chain is directly hindering the adoption of smart warehousing in the Asia Pacific region.

Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market

Segmental Coverage

Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market – By Component

Based on component, the Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market is segmented into hardware, solutions, and services. The services segment holds the largest share of the Asia Pacific smart warehousing market. The lack of expertise among warehouse owners to manage smart technologies directly impacts the demand for managed services to update and maintain the systems. The increasing adoption of smart warehousing by small and medium-sized enterprises is fueling the demand for pre- and post-deployment services of smart warehousing technology and driving the market's overall expansion.

Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market – By Technology

Based on technology, the Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market is divided into automated guided vehicles (AGVs), IoT and analytics, RFID, AI in warehouses, blockchain, and others. AGVs account for the highest share of the market. The AGV technology is capable of reducing labor and improving workflow in inventory management. Various types of AGVs, such as stackers, tow tractors, and pallet handlers, are employed to overcome the shortage of labor in warehousing, which has significantly contributed to its growth in the Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market.

Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market – By Warehouse Size

Based on warehouse size, the Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market is segmented into small, medium-sized, and large. The large segment holds the highest share in the Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market because of its high initial investment and upfront costs. Moreover, possessing a substantial inventory raises the possibility of losses, leading major warehouse owners to invest in smart warehousing solutions. However, because of the thriving e-commerce industry, it is projected that the small and medium-sized segments will develop at the fastest rate throughout the projection period.

Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market – By Application

Based on application, the Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market is segmented into transport management, inventory & order management, yard & shipping management, labor management, and others. The inventory & order management segment accounts for the highest market share. To cut costs by utilizing sensors and the IoT, the logistics sector is increasing its expenditures on smart warehousing. IoT devices' sensors track and report on a wide range of important environmental factors, including movement, handling speed, temperature, light, and humidity. They may also keep an eye on the circumstances under which products are stored, helping businesses maintain quality control across their supply chains.

Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market – By Country

The Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing market report covers many country-specific markets that include China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia & New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, and the rest of APAC. China dominates the Asia Pacific Smart Warehousing Market. According to an article published in the Journal of Commerce, China reigns highest in rank for the growing investments in new logistics-related facilities in Asia. The strong manufacturing industry and presence of industry leaders, such as Alibaba, are stated to be the contributing factors to the smart warehousing market growth in China. However, India is anticipated to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period with shifting manufacturing operations in the country.
