Large-scale fulfillment facilities can keep a tremendous quantity of goods and materials, which might last many years of use and require less regular replenishment. The end-user segment is divided into industries, e-commerce, and general stores. The e-commerce segment had the highest market share of 35.07% and was valued at USD 1.71 billion in 2022. It is a result of an increase in customer use of e-commerce websites. Several large corporations are investing significantly in micro facilities, including Amazon, Walmart, and Alibaba.

The e-commerce sector is growing rapidly due to how simple it is to purchase online and the variety of available goods. This concept of small-scale warehousing makes it possible to distribute goods quickly and effectively. Additionally, given the population's proximity, the distribution method is more effective because it requires less fuel and travels a shorter distance. Further, due to the smaller fulfillment facilities, perishable commodities like food have become part of e-commerce. These advantages of micro fulfilling facilities are driving the growth of the micro fulfillment market.
