Market Overview
The Global Sortation Systems market registered a value of USD 4769.7 million in 2018, and is expected to reach USD 6239.3 million, witnessing a CAGR of 4.47% over the forecast period (2019-2024). With the rapid growth in stock keeping units (SKUs), wholesalers and distributors are finding it hard to make informed decisions about their operations. This drives the need for the smarter use of labor, equipment, and technology.
- The main factors driving the need for automated material handling systems are cost savings, labor efficiency, and space constraints.
- In the current competitive landscape, there is an ever-increasing number of available products and demand for more frequent and smaller deliveries. Automating distribution operations can immediately increase an organization’s order accuracy anywhere from half a percent up to several percentage points.
