In the new TAdviser review of the Russian warehouse management systems market, you will find expert estimates of volume, market dynamics, information on key trends, technological trends, industry prospects, learn about landmark cases. In addition, the material presents a rating of leading manufacturers.

The Russian warehouse management systems (WMS) market in 2023-2024, as previously assumed, showed very good growth rates. The market volume in 2023 is estimated at 5-6 billion rubles, and by the end of 2024 the expected growth was 10-30%. The cost of projects and their technological complexity will grow. At the same time, requests for the quality of Russian software are growing, competition is intensifying.

The economic crisis in Russia slows down the implementation of projects. The business faces challenges due to rising prices, operating costs, rental costs, staffing shortages and the wage race, and a high key rate limits access to rapid financing, which affects the industry. In the future, a scenario of a gradual decline in demand amid a slowdown in the economy is possible.

In 2024, the number of companies that provided data for the WMS TAdviser rating increased. Their total revenue more than one and a half times exceeded the same indicator in the previous rating and amounted to 4.5 billion rubles. As a year earlier, Axelot became the leader.

Robotization remains a key technological trend in the WMS market, but the practice of equipping robotic warehouses is complicated by high requirements for the organization of warehouses, high starting investments. The use of technological equipment from China and South Korea reduces the financial burden on enterprises, while imposing increased requirements for the qualification of integrators and Russian software. And although everyone speaks about the prospect of robotic warehouses, automation and optimization of processes with fast payback remain more popular in the Russian Federation.

Over a twenty-year period, TAdviser collects information about IT projects in various industries. During this time, a huge amount of data has been accumulated on the implementations of various solutions. In relation to WMS systems, the publication has accumulated a base of more than 2 thousand projects. Based on it, several ratings were prepared in the context of integrators and vendors of WMS systems, as well as the warehouse management solutions themselves.

Among integrators, Axelot remains the undisputed leader in the number of WMS system implementations. TAdviser is aware of 426 projects implemented by this company. In addition to EME, IT Scan also entered the top three. Axelot is also a leader among vendors.

In terms of specific systems, most projects (for the entire TAdviser observation period) were implemented on the basis of the Axelot WMS X5 product. The top three also include solutions "1C:WMS Logistics. Warehouse Management "and EME.WMS.

Most often, WMS systems are implemented in the field of trade, logistics and distribution, and the food industry. The total share of these three industries, according to TAdviser, is over 65% of all projects implemented.
