Europe Automated Storage and Retrieval System Market

The European automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) market is expected to grow from USD 2.42 billion in 2025 to USD 3.46 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.4%. As industries race to address rising labor shortages, space constraints, and surging e-commerce demand by accelerating warehouse automation, the European ASRS market is poised for strong growth. High-density ASRS solutions are seeing widespread adoption in industries such as manufacturing, retail, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals, to improve accuracy, throughput, and operational efficiency. Advances in robotics, integration of software, cold-chain automation, and digital supply chain transformation further strengthen the momentum for adoption and place ASRS among the critical pillars of Europe's evolving logistics landscape.

Major players influencing the European ASRS ecosystem include Daifuku Co., Ltd. (Japan), Murata Machinery, Ltd. (Japan), SSI SCHAEFER (Germany), TGW Logistics Group (Austria), and Kardex (Switzerland). These companies are expanding across Europe through product innovations, strategic partnerships, and next-generation ASRS deployments designed for high-density storage and advanced intralogistics. The continuous improvement in robotic storage technologies and software that automates warehouses is at the heart of helping providers improve their competitive positioning and secure emerging opportunities in the European ASRS market.
