For instance, Mexico, which is more reliant on exports to the US, witnessed a 90% drop in auto shipments. Thus, the above-mentioned factors are expected to have a negative impact on the automated storage and retrieval system market across the region owing to the pandemic.

The VLM segment led the automated storage and retrieval system market based on type in 2020. Vertical Lift Modules (VLM) are the next generation automated systems mainly used in industrial applications for sorting, storage, and retrieval of items for an operator in a warehouse. These systems play significant role in robotics, where these are used to guide the autonomous robots, also known as self-navigating robots. Various industries such as electronics, automotive, aerospace, F&B, pharmaceuticals, and electronics are concerned about reducing labor-intensive processes, increasing accuracy and speed for the task of storage, and retrieval of their products whenever required. With the use of VLMs, the process of picking, retrieval, and packing of products into shipping containers may be combined into one process. The fast reaction time and delivery of the desired item with a push of a button or by scanning a barcode has resulted in increased demand for VLMs. Further, the modular design of VLM also allows access to multiple floors in the building. Major industry sectors generating demand for VLMs are automotive, e-commerce, logistics, and pharmaceutical, among others. Moreover, air-conditioned or climate control functionality available in VLMs is one of the significant factors that is pushing the demand for VLMs., which ultimately drives the growth of the automated storage and retrieval system market.
