Logistics Robotics Market Expected to Reach $27.8 Billion by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Logistics Robotics Market”, the logistics robotics market was valued at $6.3 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $27.8 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 16.2% from 2022 to 2031.

The logistics industry includes several different processes such as ordering, transporting, warehousing, picking, packing, delivery, inventory, and routing. Logistics robotics means the application of robotics to one or more of these processes. Logistics robots encompass any autonomous system or machine used to automate product flows, maximize safety, and boost productivity in warehouse operations. A few common applications of robotics in warehousing are robotic palletizing, robotic packaging, and robotic picking commonly used in warehousing or any other logistics software solutions.

Robotics applied to industrial distribution means using robots and machinery with smart systems to automate tasks such as organization, transfers, delivery, and product retrieval in a warehouse. They are associated with artificial intelligence systems that allow them to handle more complex variables and react quickly and independently by means of algorithms.

The implementation of new technologies in any warehouse process including goods receipt, storage, stock management, order processing, and shipping has led to these robots becoming more prominent. These solutions work with full autonomy to perform functions such as transferring products between two points, preparing orders, and storing products on racks. The growth of the logistics robotics market size is majorly driven by the rapid introduction of robots in the logistics tasks in the industries to eliminate the risk of mistakes and ramp up productivity. According to logistics robotics market analysis, the automated guided vehicles segment was the highest contributor to the market in 2021 and is expected to follow the same trend during the forecast period.

The logistics robotics market trends indicate that the pick & place segment accounted for around 32.0% market share in 2021. Surge in industry automation to streamline processes, reduce logistics costs, and minimize the risk of accidents has driven the logistics robotics market growth. The outbreak of the COVID-19 has significantly impacted the growth of the logistics robotics sensor.
