Study Overview

WMS Market Pummeled by Global Recession
A Warehouse Management System’s (WMS) primary mission is to manage a warehouse’s resources, including space, labor, equipment, tasks, and material flows.  ARC defines a WMS as a real-time solution that utilizes Radio Frequency, Voice Recognition, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), or real-time location systems.

We first saw signs of the recession emerging in 2007.  In 2008, Warehouse Management System (WMS) market revenues shrank slightly year over year.  However, implementations can take several months; backlog projects protected many suppliers’ revenues in 2008.  By 2009, the backlog was gone.  The global recession brutally pummeled the WMS market in 2009.  The market has lost five years of market growth (the global 2005 WMS market was bigger than the market is in 2009).

The good news is that the global recession is coming to an end.  But questions remain.  Will we have a double dip recession?  Will growth return to prerecession levels or will it remain lower than the global growth we saw before the recession for the foreseeable future?  Will there be a surge in pent up demand?  ARC’s current study of the WMS market answers these questions and more.

Strategic Issues
In times of market turbulence, ARC’s market studies become an even more valuable resource.  The study answers questions such as the following:

  • How can suppliers increase their value proposition?
  • Are different strategies required for selling to big customers versus smaller customers?
  • What sort of market consolidation has occurred?
  • How are SaaS solutions impacting the market?
  • What developments in adjacent markets (material handling, supply chain execution, and supply chain planning) will impact this market?
