Automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) is a computer-controlled device that places and recovers loads from specified storage locations accurately in a facility. It consists of shuttles, cranes, carousels, vertical lift modules (VLMs), micro-loads, mini-loads, unit-loads, warehouse execution software (WES) and warehouse management software (WMS). It offers several advantages, such as efficient use of the floor space, reclaiming unused vertical space, increasing inventory storage density, improving ergonomics and safety, enhancing throughput, and reducing labor costs. As a result, it finds extensive applications in the aviation, automotive, chemical, e-commerce, food and beverage (F&B), and healthcare industries.

Automated Storage and Retrieval System Market Trends:

At present, there is a rise in the demand for fast, precise, and efficient fulfillment of in-store retailing to ensure customer satisfaction across the globe. This, along with the growing industrial automation for improving productivity and quality while increasing safety, reducing errors, and adding flexibility to the manufacturing process, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, there is a rise in technological advancements in ASRS assisted by cutting-edge sensors. This, coupled with the escalating demand for enhanced storage systems in various industries, is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, governments of several countries are extensively investing in developing digital infrastructure, which is positively influencing the market. Besides this, the increasing order volume in the e-commerce sector due to ease of selling internationally, retargeting customers, and personalization of the buying experience is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Apart from this, the increasing utilization of ASRS by small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) to reduce human interaction is bolstering the growth of the market.
