Furthermore, to meet the requirements of the home delivery process the size of the warehouse has been increased and the minimal size of the warehouse is 2000 which holds nearly 65,000 sq.ft

Market Restraint:

Restraint 1:

Several regions have already made or are in the way of implementing new official laws to safeguard the worker protection beside the industrial robots. For example, South Korea has created a Robot Ethics Charter. The EU has approved its RoboLaw plan. Germany is in its trial process of launching and working with the clinical or the biomechanical needs for the industry of human-robot relationship which is anticipated to hamper the growth of the global warehouse robotics market.

Restraint 2:

As per the several authorities, NIOSH is the only official agency in the US which is implementing the guidance for the safe connections betwixt the human beings and the robot. The authors put up four human safeguard rules with the robots which comprises of workplace safety, quality in maintenance, interface with the human labors and the operations which further hampers the growth of the global warehouse robotics market.

Market Opportunities:

Opportunity 1:

Due to the availability of many sellers in the market, customer prospects are rising, and they predict to receive the products rapidly which provides a lucrative opportunity with more pliability to set and arrange the arrival times without any delivery charges. Moreover, manufacturing and production has now become more personalized which is very advantageous for the end-users, however is a bit challenging for the warehouse industry.

Opportunity 2:

Various key sellers in the market have implemented vast and intellectual utilization of the technology from the data analytics and automation to the internet which ensures the low price, which enhances the efficacy and it also provides the opportunity to make a correct and an appropriate innovation in the tasks of warehouse industry.

Market Key Takeaways/Trends:
