Market Overview

Automated storage and retrieval systems are inventory management tools that are frequently used in manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and warehouses. They are made up of several computer-controlled devices for autonomously transferring loads from one location to another. As they assist in offering quick, precise, dependable, and affordable solutions, these systems are used when moving high-volume cargo between locations. Additional factors anticipated to propel the automatic storage and retrieval system market expansion in the upcoming years include the rise in demand to lower labor costs, achieve optimal space utilization, and boost the use of ASRS in distribution supply chains and inventory control.

Machines like robotics and other material handling machines may autonomously maintain and retrieve items from shelves thanks to automated storage and retrieval systems. Such operations can be automated to lower labor costs, accelerate turn - around time, cut down on errors, and maximize storage space through vertical storage. Factors driving the growth of the ASRS market include the need for better inventory management, optimized space utilization, increased labor costs, and greater accuracy, productivity, and efficiency in the distribution chain.

COVID-19 Impact:

Covid-19 was largely unknown until this global epidemic quickly evolved from a localized emergency to a pandemic. By tampering with the supply chain and obstructing numerous industrial processes, COVID-19 has affected practically all industries globally. Most businesses have either stopped all manufacturing or only do the bare minimum. Government responses to COVID-19, such as lockdown and social isolation, resulted in the shutdown of production facilities early in the epidemic. The introduction of COVID-19 has increased the demand for automatic storage and retrieval system (ASRS) in e-commerce and automatic storage and retrieval system (ASRS) in the automotive sector.

Growth Drivers

• Technological advancement to drive market growth

Technological breakthroughs are shaping the automatic storage system and various forms of retrieval system markets. To reduce errors, repetitive activities, and processing costs, major industry participants are creating sophisticated automated storage and retrieval systems for industrial applications are the major driver responsible for the tremendous growth in the market.

Restraints

• High initial costs for new perforates hinder the market growth

ASRS is a very profitable automation system for use in warehouses, and its initial installation involves a substantial financial outlay which is expected to limit the global automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) market growth. Before purchasing the system, a supply chain and inventory management pre-purchase investigation is necessary. Software, automated systems, and racks must be installed to implement ASRS. This entire system is expensive. This system needs to be set up accurately, which necessitates specialized work.

Opportunity

• Increased demand for ASRS in the aviation sector provides growth opportunities.

The aviation sector has acknowledged the demand for ASRS, especially in production, distribution, and inventory control manufacturing. Thus, the demand for ASRS has increased over the past ten years due to industrial facility retrofitting. Different industries, including packing and delivery, are being forced to choose ASRS products at a larger rate due to expansion in the industrial sector's total production due to rising individual consumer values, generating profitable potential pockets in the market.

Segmentation Analysis

The global automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) market has been segmented into type, application, and region.

Based on type, the market is classified into a unit load, mid load, VLM, carousel, and mini-load. In 2021, the unit load category dominated the global market. Unit load ASRSs are more popular than other types of ASRSs in many sectors since they are utilized to store large-size items and offer real-time inventory information. Unit load ASRS is also a high-density heavy payload ASRS that enables it to handle whole pallets accurately, effectively, safely, and steadily.

Based on application, the global automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) market is segmented into automotive, metals & heavy machinery, food & beverages, chemicals, healthcare, semiconductor & electronics, retail, aviation, e-commerce, and others. The food & beverage segment had the highest share in this market in 2021. Implementing AS/RS systems in the food industry helps product code distribution, last-in-first-out (LIFO) separation, and monitoring of product expiration dates. It helps the beverage industry distinguish between volatile and non-volatile solutions, which is another advantage. Food handling by humans was strictly forbidden, which raised the necessity for fully computerized systems for storage and retrieval. The current state of the food and beverage associated AS/RS market outlook will improve with the growing trend of food e-marts and online shopping stores

Recent Developments:

• August 2021: The contract to automate a new section of ZF Foton's warehouse in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, China, was given to SSI SCHAEFER.
• July 2020: Due to the COVID-19 issue, Honeywell Intelligrated intends to increase automation. Distribution centers adopted remote operations and socially distant work procedures due to the global pandemic, which produced an abrupt and seismic upheaval in the global supply chain.
