Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) refers to computer and robot-assisted systems designed for the retrieval or storage of goods in specific locations. These systems employ technology to designate areas where machines can access goods by following predetermined paths.
The primary types of ASRS include unit load, mid load, vertical lift module, carousel, and mini-load systems. Unit load ASRS is particularly suited for handling large and heavy loads, typically ranging from 1,000 to 5,500 pounds. These systems offer various functions, including distribution, storage, assembly, kitting, and order picking. They find application across diverse industries, serving end-users such as automotive, semiconductor and electronics, general manufacturing, retail, warehousing and logistics, aviation, chemicals, rubber, and plastics, healthcare and pharma, as well as food and beverage, and postal and parcel services.

The increasing demand for automation is significantly driving the growth of the automated storage and retrieval system market. Automation refers to the application of technologies with minimal human intervention for producing and delivering goods and services. The majority of the industrial sectors are adopting automated systems such as automated storage and retrieval system to cut back errors, reduce repetitive tasks, and lower processing costs. The increasing demand for automation in the industries is directly promoting the increased use of automated storage and retrieval system. For instance, in August 2022, according to reports from Automation.com, a US-based media company, in 2022 69% of business leaders plan to adopt intelligent automation to address spiraling cost pressures caused by surging inflation and economic shocks. Which increased by 50% from 2020, and in the coming years, these numbers are expected to increase. Therefore, the increase in demand for automation is driving the growth of the automated storage and retrieval system market.
The rising e-commerce industry has propelled the growth of the automated storage and retrieval system market. The e-commerce industry refers to the buying and selling of goods and services over the internet. Automated storage and retrieval systems are increasingly being used in the e-commerce industry to improve efficiency and accuracy, reduce labor costs, increase storage capacity, and give inventory security. For instance, in April 2023, according to Tidio Sp. z o.o., a US-based software company, the number of digital shoppers had increased from 268.2 million in 2022 to 274.7 million in the US. Moreover, global digital buyers increased from 2.14 billion in 2021 to 2.30 billion in 2022, and 4.4% of online shopping increased between 2020 and 2021. Therefore, the rising e-commerce industry is driving the automated storage and retrieval system market.
Technological advancements are playing a pivotal role in shaping the automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) market. Leading market players are focused on developing cutting-edge AS/RS solutions equipped with innovative technologies designed for industrial applications. These advanced systems aim to minimize errors, reduce repetitive tasks, and lower processing costs. For instance, in November 2021, Honeywell International Inc. introduced a new AS/RS solution, incorporating machine learning and artificial intelligence to automate complex tasks in distribution centers, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities. This technology enables faster and more accurate processing, receiving, and order fulfillment. One of its components, the Smart Flexible Depalletizer, automates the manual pallet unloading process.
Major companies operating in the AS/RS market are adopting a strategic partnership approach to deliver comprehensive and integrated solutions. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success. For example, in September 2022, Mitsubishi Logisnext Asia Pacific Pte Ltd., a Singapore-based distributor of industrial forklifts through its Asia Pacific dealer network, entered into a partnership with xSQUARE, a Singapore-based intelligent warehousing solution company. This collaboration aims to address the growing need for warehouse solutions by offering innovative solutions that tackle labor shortages and enhance warehouse productivity and operational efficiency. They plan to achieve this by introducing a new range of automated guided vehicles (AGV) built upon Logisnext's forklift brand.
In September 2021, stow International NV, a Belgium-based steel construction company, acquired a majority stake in Raiser Robotics International GmbH for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables Stow to rapidly penetrate the market with e.scala, Raiser Robotics' patented automated shuttle system designed for dense storage and scalability.
