Key Highlights from the Report
· Based on Technology, the Traditional warehouse’s segment dominates the Micro Fulfillment market with the maximum market share and will continue its dominance in the forecast period. The facilities everyone has been creating for many years are traditional warehouses or ordinary ones. The typical WMS is not automated; employees handle every aspect of the business's operations. For instance, the business must hire and train individuals for the tasks. Conversely, technology is advancing quickly in areas like robots, automation, and artificial intelligence.
· Among End-User, the e-commerce sector accounted for the highest CAGR in the forecast period. This dominance is a result of individuals using e-commerce websites more frequently. Some of the biggest businesses, including Amazon, Walmart, and Alibaba, heavily invest in tiny warehouses. The epidemic also accelerated the development of Micro Fulfillment warehouses and e-commerce technologies.
· In terms of region, North America holds the significant market share within the Micro Fulfillment market. This is attributable to the sophisticated infrastructure and broad public acceptance of e-commerce.
Market Dynamics
The convenience of using and the variety of goods available through online channels are two reasons the e-commerce sector is snowballing. E-commerce sales skyrocketed during the lockdowns brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the years to come, it is projected that COVID-19 will continue to impact the e-commerce sector favorably. This growing demand has put a strain on traditional shipping and distribution channels. A few sizable warehouses throughout the area are used to distribute all the goods instantly. This shipping method is less efficient and profitable due to the long transit time between the warehouses and the ultimate delivery location. The shippers are implementing a relatively novel notion to maintain the in-demand supplies in various heavily populated areas. These little warehouses are known as Micro Fulfillment facilities. Small-scale warehousing makes it possible to distribute goods quickly and effectively.
Additionally, the distribution method is more environmentally friendly because it uses less fuel to go farther due to the proximity of the population. Additionally, the development of Micro Fulfillment facilities has made it possible to purchase perishable goods like food online. These advantages of Micro Fulfillment facilities are encouraging the sector’s growth.
Due to urbanization, the number of residential complexes has increased throughout the nation. The development of the Micro Fulfillment market benefits from this. The growth of these industries is also greatly aided by factors like increasing internet usage and government initiatives to promote e-commerce. This favors developing the Micro Fulfillment industry.
Major Micro Fulfillment businesses offer a range of products and services to meet customer needs. They continually innovate their product line to stay market-competitive. For instance, in September 2021, Honeywell International Inc. unveiled its most recent robotic technology development for the maritime industry. A sophisticated depalletizing robot was introduced for the Micro Fulfillment sector. It is anticipated that this will allow warehouses and distribution centers to automate the time-consuming process. Major players in the e-commerce industry are also working with digital businesses to modernize their minuscule fulfillment centers with state-of-the-art robotics and software.
Geographically, North America is expected to experience rapid expansion in the years to come. Due to its sophisticated infrastructure and broad public acceptance of e-commerce, it has achieved this supremacy. A rise in internet shoppers, quick service, and large corporate investment are all anticipated to stimulate the regional market. It is estimated that a sizable portion of the projected period's revenue will come from the expanding e-commerce user base, who are more likely to offer high-quality goods, doorstep delivery, refunds, discounts, and services. The installation of Micro Fulfillment centers will expand more than ten times by 2030 from the current installed year of 50 in 2021.
