Global ASRS market by automotive industry: The adoption of ASRS in the automotive industry is driven by the growing need to enhance throughput, handle increasing volumes, reduce the use of forklift trucks, enhance labor safety, and reduce damage to automotive parts. Developing countries from regions such as APAC and South America are showing an inclination towards automation, which is anticipated to reflect positively on the growth of the market by 2021.

ASRS in the automotive industry is more common in Europe and the US. Volkswagen, for instance, introduced ASRS in its storage facility, in Wolfsburg, Germany, during 2006. The facility is 20-story building and is fully automated,” says Sharan Raj, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on warehouse and storage.

Global ASRS market by food and beverage industry: The growth of the ASRS market in the food and beverage industry during the forecast period is attributable to the increase in SKU proliferation, transfer of products among various sites, and the need to adhere to the quality of the product. The adoption of ASRS in the food and beverage industry enables tracking of systems, taking quality control measures, linking of different departments, and handling of cartons and bottles of various sizes.
