Do you trust that increased warehouse automation will ultimately benefit the long-term prospects of workers?
The global intralogistics market is projected to reach $133 billion by 2030, rising from $96 billion in 2025. This growth is driven by a focus on software integration and autonomous robotics solutions.
Why it matters
Rising labor shortages and high staff turnover rates, which range between 200% and 300% annually, are pushing companies toward automation. Additionally, high interest rates are discouraging new facility construction, favoring upgrades to existing operations.
The intralogistics software market is expected to grow from $6.3 billion to $10.8 billion by 2030, while autonomous mobile robot revenue is projected to climb from $4.3 billion to $8.4 billion. Warehouse workers currently walk over 10 kilometres daily.
