Global Warehouse Management Systems Market is expected reach a revenue of US$ 7 Bn by 2028: Ken Research

A Warehouse Management system (WMS) is software that aids in the management and intelligent execution of a warehouse's, distribution center, or fulfilment center's operations. WMS applications provide features like order allocation, order picking, replenishment, packing, shipping, labor management, yard management, and automated materials handling equipment interfaces.

The Global Warehouse Management Systems Market is expected to record a positive CAGR of ~15% during the forecast period (2022-2028) and reach a revenue of US$ 7 Bn by 2028. This growth is owing to the development of digital technology in global logistics, including delivery of key performance indicators (KPIs), enhanced supply chain flexibility, and cost-cutting, which have pushed Third-Party Logistics (3PL) and the supply chain sector to adopt warehouse management systems along with the rising e-commerce and customer online purchasing behaviors are anticipated to enhance demand for the warehouse management system.

WMS demand is expected to increase significantly as a result of switching supply chain strategies used by product manufacturers and rising consumer demand, especially in the transport & logistics, and retail industries. One of the key factors driving the market expansion is the requirement for manufacturers to automate warehouse management procedures and reduce costs globally. The system's capacity to deliver goods as quickly as possible via the shortest shipping routes could be the cause of the system's skyrocketing demand.
Real-time WMS software solutions are rapidly being utilized as a result of a significant shift in consumer purchasing behavior for effective order processing, picking, packaging, shipment tracking, and route planning in the e-commerce industry. WMS enables businesses to swiftly adjust to the shifting client needs in the e-commerce and online retail space.
According to International Trade Administration, an agency in the United States Department of Commerce in 2020 states that of the two consumer focuses, retail consumer goods e-commerce is by far the most dynamic and successful. In 2020, it accounted for 18% of all retail sales worldwide. By 2024, it is anticipated to rise at a rate of over 1% annually, reaching almost 22% of all retail sales worldwide.
Small-scale companies frequently utilize old techniques to run their warehouses. The adoption of WMS is hindered by large initial investments and significant deployment investments. The adoption of WMS by small-scale enterprises is additionally constrained by the additional expenses associated with license purchases, upgrades, and employee training during the deployment process. Small-scale industries, however, are not aware of the advantages of WMS, which presents a problem for the market's players.
Despite the initial turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, steady market expansion was made possible by the booming e-commerce sector and a more useful understanding of the benefits of WMS. Additionally, the crisis has quickened the industry's adoption of WMS as well as other warehouse automation solutions.

Key Trends by Market Segment

By Deployment Type- Cloud-based segment held the major market share in 2021 due to its 100% web-based feature and accessibility from any device with an internet connection.

Regardless of the size and complexity of the organization using WMS, advancements in cloud-based services are expected to accelerate the adoption of WMS software. Medium-sized and small-sized firms, which do not require the adoption of complex warehouse technologies and high-speed automation, are primarily responsible for the growing demand for cloud-based systems.
According to 3PL Central LLC, a WMS solutions provider predicted that cloud-based warehouse management solutions is anticipated to grow and are projected to reach US$ 8.1 billion by 2028. This growth is being fuelled by the adoption of cloud-based WMS, especially among small and medium-sized businesses, as a result of consumer demand and e-commerce.
