The increasing demand from the e-commerce sector is expected to drive the growth of the micro fulfillment market in the coming years. The e-commerce industry involves the online buying and selling of goods and services and encompasses a broad range of digital tools, processes, and technologies for consumers and sellers, including mobile shopping and secure online payment systems. E-commerce fulfillment oversees the logistics of delivering online orders directly to customers, removing the need for individuals to package, label, and ship each order separately. The rising demand for e-commerce activities is therefore contributing to the expansion of the micro fulfillment market. For example, in August 2025, data from the U.S. Census Bureau, a US-based statistical agency, indicated that in 2025, estimated e-commerce sales for the second quarter increased by 5.3% (±1.2%) compared with the same period in 2024, while total retail sales grew by 3.9% (±0.4%) over the same timeframe. Consequently, the growing demand for the e-commerce sector is propelling the micro fulfillment market.

Key companies operating in the micro fulfillment market are concentrating on the development of innovative solutions, such as automated micro-fulfillment centers, to improve order processing and delivery efficiency.

For instance, in October 2024, Amazon Inc., a US-based e-commerce company, introduced its first automated micro-fulfillment center.
