We analyzed early-stage investment trends to uncover which supply chain tech markets — from autonomous forklifts to fleet management software — are quickly evolving and how these will impact the space.
Investors are pickier than ever as overall VC funding continues to slow. This is especially true in supply chain & logistics tech, where funding is a tenth of the level it was in 2021.
However, VCs are still backing plenty of early-stage startups in the supply chain space as they chase after opportunities for innovation and disruptive products. This early-stage interest is particularly pronounced in areas related to task automation & visibility, likely driven by advances in AI and robotics.
To see where supply chain tech is heading in 2024, we looked at the tech markets with the most early-stage activity in 2023 by total early-stage funding and deal count: autonomous trucking systems, autonomous forklifts, drone delivery, warehouse scanning systems, and fleet management software.
