Warehousing Market Revenue and Trends

The warehousing function is concerned with the efficient storage, movement, and handling of products within a warehouse building, or warehousing. Warehousing is more than storing products, since all incoming stock is sorted through a number of different processes (receipting, put-away, stock control, picking/packing, and dispatch) so that the correct quantity of stock is available to meet the needs of customers. The products may be stored for only a short period of time, for example, ski equipment for ski season or fast-moving consumables, or for any length of time, for example, raw materials, spare parts, or slow-moving stock. The activity in the warehouse may be supported by shelving, insulated storage and refrigeration, and security systems such as CCTV.

What are the Factors That Have a Significant Contribution to the Growth of the Warehousing Market?

Penetration of urban settlements and expansion of retail business are some of the important factors responsible for the growth of the warehousing market. Growing urban populations must lead to increased consumption of consumer goods, food products, supplies, and accessories. With the growth of retail chains, shopping malls, and supermarket chains, there will be higher requirements of distribution centers and shopping center distribution warehousing. Also, the growth of organized retailing and omnichannel sales has increased the need for warehousing at urban locations.

Also, government investments and support to develop logistics infrastructure also heavily stimulate growth of the warehousing industry, as most of the government is pouring investments into the development of highways, rail systems, ports, airports, and logistics parks to improve the transportation and supply chain networks. Development of these infrastructures has improved connectivity between factories, distribution centers, and consumer markets and has led to increased demand for modern warehousing and storage facilities. Additionally, the establishment of industrial corridors, free trade zones, and dedicated logistics parks are other factors prompting companies to set up distribution centers at prime logistical locations. For instance, according to the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs, India‘s logistics business—a $200 billion industry that transports 4.6 billion tons of freight annually, 65 percent of which is through roads and 27 percent of which is through railways—is believed to have last-mile delivery (the last stage in transit where the goods are delivered to the end user) accounting for about 40 percent of the overall logistics cost. Consequently, Logistics accounts for 13 to 14 percent of India‘s GDP instead of 8 to 11 percent as in most of the developed economies.
