Europe Automated Storage and Retrieval System Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The automated storage and retrieval system market in Europe is progressing considerably. As per our research report, the European automated storage and retrieval system market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.28% from 2023 to 2028 and the European market is predicted to be worth USD 4.68 Billion by 2028 from USD 3.45 billion in 2023.

The demand for automated storage and retrieval systems is ticking up in the European region. Companies such as KION Group, SSI SCHAEFER, Dematic and others are playing a promising role in the European market and using technological advancements to bring effective solutions to the market and win the competition.

The rapid adoption of automated solutions such as AR and RS solutions to address the rising e-commerce industry in Europe is one of the major factors propelling the growth of the European automated storage and retrieval system market. The e-commerce industry in Europe is aggressively growing in the European region. According to statista.com, the European e-commerce industry was valued at over 500 billion Euros in 2021. The culture of online shopping is expected to grow further in the coming days owing to the increased usage of the Internet and the rising availability of various products over online channels. In these types of situations, companies that deliver goods and services ensure proper workflow in their warehouses and automated storage and retrieval systems help the companies significantly to ensure smooth work processes.

The rising emphasis on space optimization in Europe is another key factor contributing to the growth of the European automated storage and retrieval systems market. Several companies have realized the importance of grouping the ready-to-move and finished goods in the most appropriate way and understood the role of optimized space optimization in warehouses and distribution centers.

The European region is experiencing a shortage of skilled labor that can do the warehouse operations and this has become a significant opportunity for the companies that deliver AR and RS solutions as these automate several warehouse operations and decrease the dependency on manual labor. This factor is causing the growth of the European market, and the trend is likely to continue throughout the forecast period. The growing awareness among European countries regarding the benefits that AR and RS offer such as enhanced warehouse efficiency and productivity, reduced lead times, and increased throughput is contributing to the regional market growth.

High initial costs required for the implementation of automated storage and retrieval systems are one of the major factors hampering the European market. Due to these high costs, several small and medium organizations are being hesitant to adopt these solutions. Though the awareness of these solutions is gradually growing in Europe, several businesses have still not realized the fullest potential of automated storage and retrieval systems and this poor awareness has become another significant restraint to the European market growth. The costs associated with the ongoing maintenance, lack of skilled professionals that operate AR and RS solutions, custom regulations and integration issues are further hindering the regional market growth.
