Germany Intralogistics Market is Expected to Reach USD 8.22 Billion by 2030

Surging growth of the e-commerce sector fuels the demand for advanced intralogistics solutions in Germany.

According to the Next Move Strategy Consulting, the Germany Intralogistics Market is valued at USD 4.51 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 8.22 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 10.5% from 2025 to 2030.

The rapid growth of ecommerce industry boosts the market due to the heightened demand for efficient warehousing, order processing, and distribution solutions. The upsurge in online shopping led to a rise in order volumes, requiring logistics providers to adopt advanced technologies. 

The International Trade Administration report reveals that penetration of e-commerce in the German market for the year 2022 was 80%, ranking third globally, and the total sales figures achieved USD 141.20 billion with an improvement of 11% from 2021. This includes faster shipping, inventory accuracy, and optimized warehouse management, driving the need for innovative intralogistics solutions to handle the complexity and scale of e-commerce operations.

Also, the rising focus on chemical and pharmaceutical industries in Germany increases the demand for sensitive and high-value materials that need to be handled and transported safely with minimal risk. As these industries grow, their demand for specialized intralogistics solutions such as automated systems for hazardous material handling and efficient transport mechanisms rises. 

These systems ensure the safety and operation efficiency while keeping such large volumes of chemicals. According to the European Chemical Industry Council, the chemicals and pharmaceuticals sector happen to be third-largest with a turnover of USD 239.41 billion in 2023 in Germany, which further boosts the market growth.

Also, the market is more driven by the presence of notable vendors like Jungheinrich AG, Kion Group, and several others, through strategic business expansion focuses majorly on innovative moves, especially the release of new products and collaborations. These companies streamline intralogistics processes for enhanced efficiency and automation, meeting burgeoning demand for warehouse streamlining in sectors such as automotive and manufacturing. 

For instance, in July 2023, Jungheinrich AG launched a mobile robot solution, the EAE 212a, designed specifically for low-level applications in warehouse environments, reflecting advancements in the industry. Moreover, in October 2024, Kion Group partnered with Euro fork to enhance Kion's product offerings in the realm of automated solutions. These strategic initiatives by companies drives Germany's intralogistics sector, to meet the growing of Germany Intralogistics market demand for automation across various industries.

However, the high cost of installing intralogistics systems restrains the market growth due to the high overhead cost involved in installing advanced automation technologies. The cost of acquiring and integrating systems such as robotics and automated conveyors is too high for small and medium-sized enterprises. Further, the maintenance, upgrade, and training of personnel increase the cost. This prevents the business from applying highly developed intralogistics solutions that would streamline the operations and achieve maximum efficiency.

On the contrary, the integration of AI and IoT into intralogistics systems creates significant opportunities for the Germany Intralogistics market growth. With the optimization of warehouse management, predictive maintenance, and supply chain logistics, the potential of AI and IoT offers smooth connectivity and data transfer between devices and systems. With the need for automation and efficiency, it is anticipated that companies will adopt AI and IoT in intralogistics systems to stay competitive in the market.
