The China WMS Market Research: core drivers shift from online retail to manufacturing

ARC Advisory Group recently completed a new study focusing on the WMS market in China. It is worth noting that the Chinese market differs from the global market in two key ways:

1. The active WMS suppliers are different, with local Chinese suppliers now holding more market share than multinational suppliers.

2. The core drivers are different, with the global WMS market increasingly influenced by online retailing, but in China, the peak of online retailing has passed, and manufacturing has re-emerged as a core driver.

The development of China's WMS market can be divided into three stages: in the first stage, with China's reform and opening up, a large number of multinational WMS vendors chose to develop their business in China, and companies such as Infor, SAP, Manhattan, etc. have absolute leadership in the Chinese market in this stage; in the second stage, China's rapid development of online retailing has fostered a large number of local WMS vendors in China, but still multinational companies have an advantage in the manufacturing sector; In the third stage, local WMS vendors are snowballing, while multinational companies gradually lose market share due to implementation costs, market changes, corporate strategy and other reasons.

This study provides WMS vendors and end-users with information about the Chinese WMS market and vendors that may interest you.

Development of WMS SaaS in China

China's WMS SaaS market shows the following characteristics:

1. Large enterprises have lower acceptance of WMS SaaS products, while small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have higher acceptance;

2. The unit price of SaaS products is low, and the product functions are lightweight;

3. Most enterprises are currently on the fence about the future of WMS SaaS but have made some investment and deployment, first "occupy the pit" and then "development".

Going overseas has become an important strategy for China's local WMS manufacturers

As the competition in China's WMS market heats up, the profits of WMS products are further compressed and far lower than those in overseas markets. To pursue higher profits and avoid full competition at home, "going overseas" has become an important strategy for local Chinese suppliers. Most of the Chinese suppliers will put the first station of internationalization in Southeast Asia, and gradually penetrate into the Belt and Road, Europe, and America.
