The "14th Five-Year Plan" for the development of modern logistics points out that by 2025, a modern logistics system that adapts supply and demand, connects inside and outside, is safe and efficient, smart and green, and will be basically completed. In November 2024, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Action Plan for Effectively Reducing the Logistics Cost of the Whole Society", which clearly stated that by 2027, the ratio of the total cost of social logistics to GDP will strive to be reduced to about 13.5%.
Various provinces and cities have also actively responded to the national policy planning and made specific plans for the development of the local intelligent warehousing industry. The "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Modern Comprehensive Transportation System in Hebei Province" issued by Hebei Province proposes to improve the intelligent warehousing security system, further strengthen intelligent warehousing situational awareness, monitoring and early warning, and do a good job in the protection of key information, infrastructure and key data resources of transportation. The Henan Provincial Government recently issued the "Henan Province Effective Reduction of Social Logistics Cost Implementation Plan" proposed, from the reduction of logistics system operating costs, reduce the cost of logistics resource allocation, reduce the cost of logistics collaborative organization, reduce the cost of logistics technology upgrading, reduce the operating cost of logistics enterprises and strengthen the organization and implementation of six aspects, to create a logistics cost reduction and efficiency pilot area.
Market demand promotes the expansion of the industry
With the continuous development of China's economy, the overall market size of China's intelligent warehousing industry continues to expand. Relevant data show that from 882.9 trillion yuan in 2019 to 1533.5 trillion yuan in 2023, with an average annual compound growth rate of 14.8%.
The report pointed out that the logistics and warehousing equipment industry has benefited from the rise of e-commerce and new retail models in recent years and achieved rapid growth. The wide application of automated three-dimensional warehouses, AGVs (automatic guided vehicles), intelligent sorting systems and other equipment has greatly improved the efficiency and accuracy of logistics. At the same time, the application of cloud computing and big data technology has realized remote monitoring and predictive maintenance of logistics equipment, reducing operating costs.
According to the report, from the perspective of market segment data, various products in the perception layer have different development trends, the market size of WMS at the platform layer is growing, the output value of the three-dimensional warehouse and sorting and conveying equipment in the application layer is large, and the growth rate of warehousing robots is fast. Industry investment and financing have been concerned but tightened, and the cost composition of different intelligent logistics and warehousing solutions is different. It is estimated that the domestic warehousing automation market will account for about 30% of the world in 2025, and the global intelligent logistics warehousing market will reach 100 billion US dollars in 2027.
The field of e-commerce is one of the most widely used scenarios for smart warehousing. With the rapid development of e-commerce, the demand for warehousing and logistics is growing. Smart warehousing technology can achieve fast delivery, accurate inventory management and efficient order processing on e-commerce platforms, thereby improving customer satisfaction. In the Beijing Intelligent Industrial Park of Jingdong Logistics Asia No. 1 in Daxing District, Beijing, the towering three-dimensional shelves are full of goods, and the automated sorting line is running in an orderly manner. In the outbound area on the second floor of the No. 1 warehouse in the park, more than 100 small "ground wolf" intelligent handling robots are flexibly shuttling and walking. Through QR code navigation and high-precision servo control algorithms, the "Diwolf" intelligent handling robot plans the optimal dynamic path, finds the shelf where the target goods are located, and transports the entire shelf to the picker's operation area. The traditional "people looking for goods" has become the current "goods looking for people".
In recent years, the demand for intelligent logistics warehousing in the overseas field has become more and more vigorous, and many product manufacturers are providing a series of warehouse automation solutions for large overseas brands. Some upstream enterprises will also choose to set up offices overseas, expand customers overseas through local sales, and copy the mature domestic automation solutions to various overseas subdivided industrial fields.
