Automating warehouse activities through the use of robotic equipment, self-driving cars, and artificial intelligence is known as warehouse robotics. These robots are made to operate in tandem with humans to increase productivity and save expenses. AMRs (autonomous mobile robots), robotic arms, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are just a few examples of the several kinds of robots used in warehouse robotics. Each type of robot has a specific purpose in optimising material handling and logistics processes in warehouses.

Among the important factors propelling the growth of the analysed market are the expansion of major sectors, including e-commerce, automotive, pharmaceutical, etc., in Europe and the rising awareness of the necessity of effective warehouse and inventory management. The market for warehouse robots has been driven throughout European countries by the growing number of warehouses, shifting market demand and consumption patterns, rising labour costs, and the availability of scalable technology solutions.  In addition, the rise of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the development of a network of interconnected systems are greatly enhancing operational efficiency and assisting industries in a wide range of warehousing tasks, including material batching, picking, ordering, packaging, warehouse security, and inspection.

Additionally, these trends are fostering a favourable growth environment for the industry under study. In line with the worldwide trend, the European e-commerce sector has experienced rapid expansion. The e-commerce warehousing sector is among the greatest adopters of warehouse robots due to the increased demand and trends like instant/single-day delivery, which are favourably impacting the development of the investigated market. Furthermore, throughout the course of the forecast period, a steady increase in the construction of manufacturing facilities along with gradual technological advancements is anticipated to have an impact on the market growth rate.

High costs have hindered the market's growth and prevented widespread adoption, particularly in the small- and medium-sized warehouse sector. Additionally, business expansion is hampered by the strict legal requirements for using robots in warehouses. But some of the market's sellers, like Kuka Robotics, are offering its clients the opportunity to rent out a whole automated plant with robot personnel in addition to leasing out robots through an effort called SmartFactory as a Service.

The COVID-19 outbreak had a major effect on the European continent. In terms of the total number of infected patients, countries such as Germany, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom were among the most severely impacted. The warehouse industry, already impacted by high labour costs, changed its focus to embracing automation and robotic technologies to ensure compliance with government rules and efficiently continue its business, as some European countries enacted tight lockdown measures. Given robotics' many advantages, this trend is anticipated to continue and propel the expansion of the market under study during the course of the projection period.
