“"By the end of Fiscal Year 2026... approximately 55% of the fulfillment center volume will move through automated facilities, and unit cost averages could improve by approximately 20%."”

Doug McMillonCEO

President and CEO, Walmart (largest private employer in the United States)

At the end of FY2026, Walmart reported roughly 50% of U.S. e-commerce fulfillment center volume was automated — short of the 55% target — though the company says automation is delivering better unit productivity and lower cost to serve; the 20% unit-cost improvement has not been separately disclosed.
