The warehouse racking industry is currently confronted with unprecedented development opportunities as well as challenges.
Unraveling new prospects in the global market demands that racking companies ceaselessly enhance technological innovation and investment in research and development, optimize the quality of products and services, broaden international market channels, and intensify international cooperation and exchanges. Only by doing so can enterprises remain unbeatable in the fierce market competition and attain sustainable development. I am convinced that through the combined efforts of enterprises in the global racking industry, the racking industry will embrace an even more splendid development tomorrow and make greater contributions to the development of the global warehousing and logistics industry.
1.The e-commerce industry is experiencing significant growth. A such as pallet racks and mezzanine racks. These shelves not only increase the utilization rate of storage space, but also improve the storage and management conditions of goods, providing strong support for the development of the Chinese retail industry.
2.Fierce market competition: The warehouse racking industry has relatively low entry barriers, attracting many companies to participate in the competition. In China, there are thousands of shelf manufacturing companies above designated size alone. In order to compete for market share, some small companies adopt low-price competition strategies, leading to market price chaos. For example, in the bidding for small warehousing projects in some areas, some companies significantly lowered their bids in order to win the bid, which compressed the profit margin of the entire project and also affected the quality of shelf products and the level of after-sales service. Internationally, companies from traditional shelf manufacturing powers such as Germany and Japan have dominated the high-end market by virtue of their advanced technology and brand advantages. Domestic companies face greater pressure when competing with them. 4. 2. Pressure for technological innovation: With the continuous advancement of science and technology, customers have higher and higher requirements for the intelligence and automation of shelves. For example, some high-end warehousing projects require shelves to have functions such as automatic cargo identification, automatic sorting, and automatic replenishment. However, realizing these functions requires companies to invest a lot of R&D funds and technical talents. At present, some domestic shelf companies have relatively insufficient investment in technology research and development, and their research and development capabilities are weak, making it difficult to meet the market demand for high-end intelligent shelves. Compared with international advanced enterprises, there is still a certain gap in the core technologies of automated three-dimensional warehouse systems, such as high-speed operation control of stackers and algorithm optimization of intelligent warehouse management software.
3.Differences in international standards: Different countries and regions have different requirements for racking quality standards and safety regulations. In Europe, racking products need to comply with a series of strict standards such as EN 15620, which have detailed regulations on the structural strength, stability, surface treatment, etc. of the racking. In the United States, standards such as ANSI/MH16.1 are used. When companies expand into international markets, they need to invest a lot of time and cost in understanding and meeting these different standard requirements. If a product does not meet local standards, it may face risks such as returns and recalls, causing economic losses to the company and hindering its international development.
