Warehousing has always been a critical part of retail, and the pandemic-fuelled rise of ecommerce has generated record growth for the sector across the globe. With increasing amounts of stock shipped directly to consumers, demand for warehouses is surging. It is predicted that in 2023 there will be 167,500 warehouses worldwide, reaching just under 180,000 by 2025.
Download the DeliveryX Warehousing Report 2023 for in-depth analysis of the warehousing industry in 2023. Inside the report we examine how ecommerce growth, and firms returning to its shores, has created record demand for warehouse space in the UK.
We explore how demand on space and labour has led to warehouses across the UK turning to automation, robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) to become as efficient, and as safe, as possible.
