Influence of COVID-19 Outbreak on Micro Fulfillment Market for Grocery and General Merchandise Industry Development
Initially, the spread of COVID-19 has had a dramatic impact on global consumption patterns. One is the trend of an increase in demand for omnichannel groceries, which include door-to-door delivery, curbside pickup, and buy online purchase in-store pickup (BOPIS). Retailers cannot keep up with unprecedented levels of online ordering, and consumers have been chasing advertising spaces that are not normally available. As consumers cope with social distancing, self-quarantine, and lifestyle changes, the pandemic has greatly increased online grocery sales. For example, in the US, due to the epidemic, the penetration rate of households using e-commerce grocery services has accelerated dramatically within a year.
Under this circumstance, a large number of physical grocery stores and general merchandise have to quickly find new strategies to adapt to the strong growth of online ordering. Consumers increasingly need same-day delivery, rather than endure the 2-3 day delivery deadlines in online shopping, micro fulfillment centers (MFC) may be the best answer to make grocery store e-commerce profitable. Retailers such as Walmart, Amazon, Kroger, Woolworths, Amazon, Ocado, Carrefour, Uniqlo, Meijer, HEB, Albertsons, Majid Al Futtaim, and Ahold Delhaize have already adopted and implemented these new technologies during the COVID-19.
Additionally, under the influence of this epidemic, shortage of labor in the supply chain, rising labor costs, and rising demand for contactless delivery have exposed labor inefficiencies that are becoming more and more serious. Artificial intelligence-driven robots in warehouses that can intelligently pick and pack orders can greatly reduce the risk of virus infection.
Of course, those habits and sudden increases in demand are undoubtedly temporary and will change as COVID-19 subsides. However, as this form of superior performance continues to highlight, for example, faster delivery, low labor costs, less construction and installation time, low capital expenditures, and low total cost of ownership, and other factors will prompt retailers and individual consumers may increasingly rely on new forms of delivery after the COVID-19.
