Food & Beverage Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) Market

The food & beverage automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) market is projected to grow from USD 1.48 billion in 2025 to USD 2.35 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 9.7% during the forecast period. The market is driven by rising demand for high-throughput food processing and distribution, the increasing SKU diversity across packaged foods and beverages, and the need for consistent, hygienic, and space-efficient storage solutions. Food and beverage manufacturers and distributors adopt ASRS to support rapid inventory rotation, accurate tracking, and reliable order fulfillment while reducing manual handling and operational variability. The high consumption of ready-to-eat foods, beverages, and frozen products further strengthens the demand for automated pallet and case handling across production plants and distribution centers. Integration of ASRS with warehouse management systems and real-time inventory control software improves storage density, picking accuracy, and operational consistency across the food and beverages supply chain

Some key companies operating in the food & beverage automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) market include DAIFUKU CO., LTD. (Japan), Murata Machinery, Ltd. (Japan), SSI SCHAEFER (Germany), TGW Logistics (Austria), and Toyota Industries Corporation (Japan). These companies are strengthening their position through continuous technology upgrades, application-specific storage solutions, and close collaboration with food processors, cold chain operators, and distribution centers. Strategies such as the development of high-throughput pallet and case handling systems, integration with warehouse management and traceability software, and delivery of hygienic, space-efficient ASRS configurations help suppliers address complex storage and handling requirements. Ongoing innovation in robotics, shuttle-based systems, modular designs, and energy-efficient material handling enables these players to support demands for fast inventory rotation, batch tracking, storage density optimization, and operational reliability across food processing and distribution operations.
