The global warehouse management systems market was worth around USD 2.79 billion in 2021 and is estimated to grow to about USD 7.52 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 15.5 percent over the forecast period. The report analyzes the warehouse management systems market’s drivers, restraints/challenges, and the effect they have on the demands during the projection period. In addition, the report explores emerging opportunities in the warehouse management systems market.
A warehouse management system (WMS) is a sort of organizing software that helps businesses to keep a record of every item that enters and departs their warehouse, and every activity that takes place during the order fulfillment process. The WMS logs and updates its system whenever an item is withdrawn from storage or packaged for transportation. Using a WMS guarantees that inventory data are completely correct, allowing distributors to more effectively fulfill orders and restock products. When a WMS is implemented, inventory may leave the warehouse faster and orders have considerably greater accuracy. Most essential, clients have more confidence in their warehouse partner when they know their goods will be dispatched swiftly and precisely every time.
Owing to strict lockdowns imposed by governments in many nations, several companies faced severe cash flow issues. Also, the worldwide shutdown and halt of production of metals & machinery, automotive, and other sectors have resulted in a decline in demand for warehouse management systems in 2020 to some extent. However, despite the initial disarray created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the market grew steadily because of strong development in the e-commerce sector and greater user knowledge of the benefits of warehouse management systems. Furthermore, the crisis has pushed many industries to adopt warehouse automation solutions such as warehouse management systems.
Increase in the necessity for automation to foster the market growth
The global warehouse management systems market is expanding at an astounding rate as a result of the growing need for automation in distribution centers, warehouses, and logistics networks. More warehouses are in high demand across the businesses. Apart from constructing new warehouses, large retailers have converted existing shopping malls into new distribution facilities. Furthermore, the number of people required to fill warehouse roles is likely to rise further. The capacity to fulfill orders and transfer items will impact customer service and profitability as the sector grows. As a result, an increasing number of businesses are contemplating implementing warehouse management systems, including upgrading to whole new systems. Further, the growth of E-Commerce and Omnichannel is the key reason for the adoption of warehouse management systems that are equally contributing to the growth of the global market. With the ease of use, warehouse management systems offer crucial benefits such as inventory optimization and visibility, including slotting and order streaming.
High investment is required in setting up on-premise WMS for SMEs
High-end on-premises WMS solutions have a high setup cost, which is preventing SMEs from adopting them. Constant hardware updates and on-premises WMS maintenance expenditures are significant drawbacks that in turn are restraining the growth of the global warehouse management systems market.
The advent of the modern cloud-based warehouse management system
Disrupting supplier markets, changing customer buying behaviors, and increasing supply chain complexity are examples of such operations that must respond to the changes with their own digitally linked solutions. Digital technology and the internet have revolutionized warehouse management platforms. It has changed the customer's purchasing behavior. Moving warehouse management systems to the cloud will allow them to link consumers with a connected fulfillment solution that provides real-time scalability, visibility, and market responsiveness.

Lack of knowledge about warehouse management systems among small and middle-scale industries
Small and middle-scale enterprises have historically used legacy technologies to run their warehouses. Due to the low yearly income of small-scale enterprises, expenditures to set up WMS appears to be a needless outlay for these business owners. Additionally, they have a limited workforce, and hiring a trained individual to maintain WMS may be a time-consuming and costly process. Business owners in small-scale businesses struggle to grasp the benefits of employing WMS due to a reluctance to change existing systems and constrained development plans.
