The Logistics Automation Market is expected to reach USD 65.14 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 10% during the forecast period (2024–2031). The market’s growth is driven by the rapid growth in e-commerce and the increasing incorporation of robots in logistics. However, high capital investment requirements and the lack of standardization in the logistics sector restrain the growth of this market.
Furthermore, the digital transformation of the logistics industry, advancements in sensor technologies, and the outsourcing of logistics are expected to generate growth opportunities for market stakeholders. However, the lack of skilled operators and privacy & security concerns are major challenges impacting the market growth.
Additionally, an increasing focus on improving last-mile deliveries and the growing use of AI in supply chain and logistics management are prominent trends in the logistics automation market.
