The rising need for inventory control is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as high implementation cost of on-premises WMS may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The rising need for inventory control is one of the key drivers fueling the warehouse management systems (WMS) market growth. The growing need for inventory management is a major driver of the global warehouse management system market. A warehouse management system (WMS) is a software application used to manage and streamline warehouse operations such as inventory management, order processing, and shipping. Effective inventory control is essential for any business to ensure that it has the right products in the right quantities available at the right time. By implementing a WMS, businesses can gain real-time visibility into their inventory levels, track inventory movement, and optimize their warehouse space to increase efficiency and reduce costs.
Moreover, as businesses continue to expand their operations globally and e-commerce continues to grow, the demand for effective inventory control is increasing. Hence, this has led to a rise in the adoption of WMS by businesses of all sizes, driving the growth of the global WMS market in the forecast period.
The growth of e-commerce is one of the key trends propelling the warehouse management systems (WMS) market growth. The major trend driving the growth of the global WMS market is the growing dominance of e-commerce. As online shopping becomes more popular, businesses are under pressure to manage inventory efficiently and fulfill orders quickly. WMS software enables companies to streamline their warehouse operations, from receiving and storing to picking and shipping, by automating and streamlining various processes. With the advent of e-commerce, WMS solutions have become essential tools for businesses to manage their supply chain and meet customer demand.
Moreover, the pandemic has accelerated the growth of e-commerce as consumers increasingly turn to online shopping for convenience and safety. As a result, businesses are investing in WMS solutions to keep up with the surge in online orders and to maintain efficient warehouse operations. In addition, WMS solutions can help e-commerce companies improve efficiency and productivity in their warehouse operations, which can result in faster order fulfillment, reduced labor costs, and increased customer satisfaction which will help the segment growth in the forecast period.
The high implementation cost of on-premises WMS is one of the factors hindering the warehouse management systems (WMS) market growth. The implementation value of on-premises WMS is higher relative to the setup fee in other enterprise software. Furthermore, the salaries of IT staff and the infrastructure value of on-premises WMS are major obstacles to the market in focus. In growing economies, the lack of high-quality Internet renders cloud-based WMS unreliable. Hence, these factors are a key reason hindering the growth of the market in focus. Further, perpetual licensing is regularly used by carriers that provide on-premises WMS while the subscription model is used in the SaaS model.
Though the SaaS model is less expensive, the lack of high-quality Internet hinders the adoption of these structures in the developing economies of APAC and Africa. The fee burden of WMS at once influences SMEs, which account for a foremost share of the world economy. High implementation charges is difficult as SMEs are focusing on implementing and adopting new technologies to enhance their grant chain and warehousing operations and to increase productivity. The high implementation price of on-premises WMS limits its adoption throughout growing economies and SMEs. This is estimated to be a key challenge for the market in focus all during the forecast period, which will tend to lower the growth during the forecast period.
The report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.
