The outbreak of Covid-19 accelerated the pressure on companies to achieve greater operational efficiency, reduce costs and to innovate and grow. 80 percent of global warehouses did not have any automation in 2016, however, the automation market across the region is set for a paradigm shift due to digitalization initiatives by end-user industries. According to recent estimates, global warehouse automation market is set to grow more than 2x from 2019 to 2025, on the back of strong macro and industry growth drivers of eCommerce fulfillment and increasing warehousing labour costs.
