The global IoT in warehouse management market size was valued at USD 10.86 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 12.13 billion in 2023 to USD 28.79 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 13.1% during 2023-2030.


Connected devices embedded with sensors and software can give users deep insights into their warehouse operations. A warehouse’s IoT system is used to transmit data over the network without the need for human interaction. It exchanges data on a real-time basis for tracking, monitoring, and maintaining a wide range of warehouse management operations, which significantly improves the warehouse's efficiency.


In the last few years, it has been observed that IoT has contributed substantially to the manufacturing sector as compared to other industry verticals to automate large warehousing operations. It has caused a major boost in IoT investments in the manufacturing industry to improve warehouse management processes. Increasing penetration of IoT in warehouse management can greatly improve the accuracy of warehouse management operations, facilitate space optimization, and enable better allocation of goods.


The growing adoption of IoT in warehouse management operations can also transform traditional warehouses into smart ones by automating the inventory and asset tracking processes and save the operational costs incurred by warehouse management processes across various industry verticals.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Decrease in Industrial Product Manufacturing Severely Impacted IoT in Warehouse Management Market Growth


The COVID-19 situation had a major impact on the supply chain of various industries, resulting in logistics disruptions, shortages of material and labor, and sudden changes in product demand. Since retail & e-commerce businesses were growing at a robust pace during this period, the demand for implementing advanced technologies, such as IoT, RFID, and beacons increased to introduce automation in warehouse management operations. This prompted several companies to introduce digitization in their warehouses. For instance, Zebra Technologies, a reputed company in the global market, boosted the digitization of warehouse operations by implementing the RFID technology. The firm also aimed to install wearable mobile computers to automate the inventory management and order picking processes. Even though the outbreak slowed the market expansion, it is predicted to grow in terms of its impact on the global business.

Adoption of Digital Twin Technology to Build 3D Model of Warehouses to Enhance Market Expansion


A warehouse digital twin technology feeds data into a virtual system. A digital twin improves the efficiency of manufacturing processes, boosts productivity, and decreases the total production time. A single warehouse digital twin can virtually design, simulate, and test new warehouse processes and product movements without changing the existing, increasingly complex locations. Integration of IoT in warehouse management plays an important role in the deployment of digital twin technology.


For instance, in November 2021, Microsoft launched a digital twin service, Microsoft Cloud, for the manufacturing industry to bring flexibility in supply chain operations, which are disturbed due to COVID-19 situation.


Increasing establishment of retail & e-commerce businesses can generate huge demand for advanced warehouse operation technologies. The growing usage of the digital twin solution can bring automation in warehouse management. These solutions use IoT and other automation technologies, including automated guided vehicles and drone-based stock counting systems to improve the performance of warehouse automation systems.


Since the digital twin solution uses 3D technologies to construct a lifelike model of warehouses, it can create significant opportunities to increase the market share.


DRIVING FACTORS


Surge in Wearable Device Usage in Warehouse Management Operations to Propel Market Growth


Wearable devices deliver real-time precise information on various assets and provide instant notifications to improve process efficiency and eliminate non-compliance. Integrating IoT techniques with warehouses can also improve the accuracy of tracking inventory and boost the performance of human operators. The growing use of wearable technology increases the productivity of warehouses, which significantly enhance process transparency.


Various wearable devices, such as smart glasses, smart gloves, smart safety helmets, and voice control headsets facilitate communication between operators and tech support and automate the packaging and scanning processes by providing worker safety. Penetration of digital technologies in Industry 4.0 has affected every aspect of the supply chain network, adding immense value to business. These aspects will help the IoT in warehouse management market growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Lack of Skilled Workforce for Operating Smart Warehouses to Restrict Market Development


The usage of IoT connected devices and software in warehouses help the warehouse operators communicate over the network. However, these innovative technologies have also raised concerns regarding privacy and cybersecurity among warehouse operators.


Moreover, lack of skilled labor force can cause a major slowdown in logistical activities, which ultimately has a negative influence on an organization’s revenue margins.


According to Inmarsat Study, it has been observed that shortage of in-house skills can hamper the productivity of warehouses across various industries, thereby impeding the digital transformation of traditional warehouses. Lack of knowledge about data science and connectivity skills to develop, deploy, and manage IoT projects in manufacturing and logistics sectors can hinder an organization’s potential to grow. These factors may negatively impact the market development.
