Intralogistics Market Surge Forecast
A new market forecast pegs the intralogistics segment to grow from $29.28B in 2025 to $116.41B by 2036 — a ~14.8% CAGR driven by automation, robotics and digital workflows. — That long‑run growth underwrites tenant demand for automation‑ready warehouses with power, height and connectivity.

Market projections vary across publishers: Grand View Research forecasts a $131.17 billion intralogistics market by 2033 with a 10.6% CAGR, while Coherent Market Insights projects $101.57 billion by 2032 at a 13.5% CAGR, highlighting model and horizon differences among analysts. (grandviewresearch.com) Global equipment and systems vendors repeatedly named as market leaders include Dematic, Daifuku, KION Group, Swisslog, Honeywell Intelligrated and SSI Schaefer, with portfolios spanning AS/RS, AMRs, conveyors and WMS that underpin large-scale automation rollouts. (futuremarketinsights.com) Contemporary developer and consultant guidance lists engineering thresholds now aimed at automation deployments—clear heights around 40 feet and electrical provisions approaching 4,000 amps for high-density systems are increasingly specified in new builds. (reoptimizer.ai) Facility engineers and consultants emphasize structural and systems details that affect deployability: slab flatness/point-load capacity, coordinated saw-cut/joint planning and redundant IDF/network connectivity are cited as prerequisites for robotics and integrated WMS. (argonandco.com) Regional capacity and leasing signals show concentration of opportunity: Prologis reports roughly 85 million square feet across 210 Inland Empire properties, and CBRE’s Q4 2025 Inland Empire brief noted converging vacancy rates alongside a slowdown in new construction that could prioritize modern, automation-ready shells. (prologis.com) Occupier demand trends and investment flows point to 3PLs and e-commerce operators as primary adopters of intralogistics tech, with industry surveys noting roughly $21 billion invested in warehouse automation in 2023 and multi‑year projections that push automation capital well higher through the 2030s. (cbre.com) Development economics are shifting: design firms report a modest automation-ready shell premium in the range of about 0.5–2% for added electrical, slab and connectivity features, paired with tenant-improvement time savings commonly cited at 4–8+ weeks and retrofit/rework costs that can amount to roughly 5% of construction budgets if automation isn’t planned up front.
