Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) Market

The automotive automated storage and retrieval system market is expected to grow from USD 1.34 billion in 2025 to USD 1.97 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period. The factors contributing to the growth of the market include complex automotive supply chains, increasing model variants, rising SKU proliferation, and the need for faster, reliable sequencing of parts to assembly lines. Thus, most automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers are adopting ASRS to offer just-in-sequence delivery, improve inventory traceability, reduce line stoppages, and manage high-mix, low-volume production. The increase in vehicle electrification, high-value components, and quality and traceability standards in powertrain, electronics, and batteries further accelerates the adoption of ASRS. Coupled integration with warehouse management, production planning, and data control software enhances material handling and operational consistency, thereby 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), TGW LOGISTICS (Austria), and Kardex (Switzerland). These companies fortify their presence in the automotive ASRS segment by introducing continuous technology upgrades, customizing intralogistics solutions to meet the needs of the customer base, and engaging in close cooperation with automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in the value chain. Product development of high-speed ASRS systems with synchronization and integration into manufacturing execution systems and warehouse management software is helping suppliers support complex automotive material flows. Further innovation in areas such as 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.
