Automotive Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) Market

The automotive automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) market is projected to grow from USD 1.34 billion in 2025 to USD 1.97 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period. Market growth is driven by complex automotive supply chains, increasing model variants, SKU proliferation, and the need for faster, reliable sequencing of parts to assembly lines. Automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers adopt ASRS to support just-in-sequence delivery, improve inventory traceability, reduce line stoppages, and manage high-mix, low-volume production. The rise in vehicle electrification, lightweight, high-value components, and stricter quality and traceability standards across powertrain, electronics, and batteries accelerate ASRS adoption. Integration with warehouse management, production planning, and data control software enhances material handling and operational consistency, ensuring steady demand for automotive ASRS solutions through 2030.

Some key companies operating in the market include DAIFUKU CO., LTD. (Japan), Murata Machinery, Ltd. (Japan), SSI SCHAEFER (Germany) and Kardex (Switzerland). These companies are strengthening their position in the automotive ASRS segment through continuous technology upgrades, customized intralogistics solutions, and close collaboration with automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. Strategies such as the development of high-speed and high-precision ASRS systems, integration with manufacturing execution systems and warehouse management software, and delivery of project-specific engineered solutions are helping suppliers support complex automotive material flows. Ongoing innovation in robotics, control software, modular system design, and energy-efficient material handling is enabling these players to address rising demands for parts sequencing, inventory traceability, line-side storage optimization, and productivity improvement across global automotive manufacturing and distribution operations.
