Warehouse Robotics Market Report 2026

The warehouse robotics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $6.21 billion in 2025 to $7.08 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in e commerce fulfillment, rising labor shortages, demand for faster order processing, warehouse cost optimization needs, expansion of distribution centers.

The warehouse robotics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.91 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to same day delivery expectations, growth in omnichannel retail, advances in AI vision systems, rising warehouse safety focus, expansion of automated logistics hubs. Major trends in the forecast period include rapid adoption of autonomous mobile robots, growth in goods to person automation, integration of AI driven picking systems, expansion of flexible and scalable robotics solutions, rising demand for warehouse process optimization.

The growing e-commerce industry is expected to support the expansion of the warehouse robotics market. E-commerce enables individuals and businesses to buy and sell goods and services online and has become one of the most transformative global industries. As online order volumes rise, warehouses increasingly rely on automated robots to handle manual material movement, streamline operations, and improve efficiency. For example, in August 2025, the United States Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, reported that e-commerce sales for the second quarter of 2025 increased by 5.3% (±1.2%) compared with the same quarter in 2024, outpacing the 3.9% (±0.4%) growth in overall retail sales. During this period, online transactions accounted for 16.3% of total retail sales. Therefore, the rapid expansion of e-commerce is driving the warehouse robotics market.

Major companies in the warehouse robotics market are focusing on developing collaborative robots, or cobots, to gain a competitive advantage. Cobots are industrial robots designed to work safely alongside human workers within a shared workspace. For instance, in August 2023, Schneider Electric SE, a France-based energy management company, launched the Lexium cobot, a collaborative robot engineered to handle heavy payloads, minimize downtime, and enhance operational efficiency in manufacturing environments. Key features include collision detection, a compact design, and easy system integration, making the cobot ideal for repetitive, heavy, or complex tasks. Its introduction aims to address labor shortages, improve workplace safety, and increase agility in industrial operations.

In August 2023, Jungheinrich AG, a Germany-based provider of intralogistics and warehousing solutions, acquired Magazino GmbH for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances Jungheinrich’s automation capabilities, particularly in autonomous mobile robotics, by incorporating Magazino’s intelligent mobile robots and advanced navigation and control software into its intralogistics portfolio. Magazino specializes in mobile warehouse robotics designed to improve picking, sorting, and internal transport processes.
