Automated Storage And Retrieval Systems Market Growth & Trends

The global automated storage and retrieval systems market size is estimated to reach USD 10.31 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 8.0% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) are computer-aided or robotic systems that store and retrieve products or items at a specific place on racks/shelves in warehouses or storage places. The machines follow an established route to place or retrieve the item from a specific location. The high volume of loads can be quickly and efficiently moved with AS/RS. The AS/RS systems are a boon to the warehousing sector as the industry reels with labor shortages and skilled labor.

According to a DHL report in 2019, only 5% of total warehouses had installed automated storage and retrieval systems. The trend displays a promising opportunity for the market's growth in the coming years as companies are increasingly adopting AS/RS for automating their warehouses. Technological development such as artificial intelligence and machine learning are aiding the growth of the target market. In November 2021, Honeywell International Inc. launched a new AS/RS system powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms. The system optimized the warehousing operation by adjusting to the user's needs through decision intelligence. Also, Honeywell's AI-powered AS/RS can manage 20,000 stock-keeping units (SKU) with 40% more throughput.

The e-commerce boom has resulted in the increasing importance of inventory management and control. The AS/RS aids in efficient inventory management as it keeps track of which product is stored where. It also tracks the volume of available inventory. Installation of AS/RS significantly improves the efficiency of the warehouses and substantially reduces the delivery time. For instance, SAM Outillage, a French tools manufacturer, witnessed a 25% jump in its productivity across operations by installing AS/RS for 80% of its stock-keeping unit (SKU). The company can now deliver orders within 24hrs owing to the agility brought by the automated system.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of automation technologies, such as automated storage and retrieval systems in the logistics sector. The social distancing norms necessitated the deployment of automation tools in warehousing functions and operations. Labor shortages during the pandemic led to increased adoption of the AS/RS during the pandemic. Retail, e-commerce, and healthcare sectors were booming during the pandemic and were among the top verticals of the AS/RS market.
