The automated storage and retrieval system market in MEA is expected to grow from US$ 146.47 million in 2020 to US$ 250.67 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2021 to 2028.



The UAE, Saudi Arabia and South Africa are economies in MEA. Surge in Demand for Automation in the E-commerce Industry recently gained momentum after weak growth over the past few year. The development of the e-commerce industry goes hand-in-hand with the prosperity of the automated storage industry. Inventory sold by e-commerce sellers is stored in warehouses, and to reduce the time for sorting and stocking of these products, ASRS seems to be one of the best tools. The purchasing pattern of consumers is moving toward online shopping. For instance, more than 60% of the population in the United States are engaged in online shopping. Further, customers expect faster delivery time, owing to which e-commerce players are adopting automation in their processes. The fluctuations in demand of stock-keeping units (SKUs) creates complexities in picking operations, which in turn, slow down the fulfillment process. The e-commerce demand is highly varying, owing to which the forward pick areas must be continuously adjusted to support the fluctuation in items demand. Along with managing SKU demand fluctuations, an ASRS also advances the fulfillment process, thus allowing e-commerce as well as omnichannel retailers to adhere better to service level agreements by fulfilling order delivery commitments.

Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Morocco, and Kuwait are the main countries facing the economic effects of COVID-19 in the Middle East and African region. It is becoming clear with the COVID-19 pandemic spreading through the above-mentioned countries that few can avoid its effects, posing major challenges for all sectors. The retail industry across the Middle East has being severely impacted due to the outbreak of the pandemic in the starting of the year 2020. However, in order to combat the huge economic impact, countries like UAE have taken necessary steps to continue economic activities across the region. The UAE government is thus promoting the adoption of advanced technology across the industries to increase efficiency among them. This has influenced the brands across the region to go online for increasing sales during the period. These initiatives have influenced the growth of the commerce industry across region. For instance, approximately, more than 80% of the consumers in UAE and Saudi Arabia have shifted to the online medium of purchasing good owing to the pandemic. Similarly, according to a study conducted by The Dubai Chamber of Commerce, 70% of the companies operating in the retail industry of the country is expected to shutdown owing to the outbreak of the corona virus. Dubai's economy is focused on sectors such as hospitality, tourism, entertainment, logistics, property, and retail, and it is one of the most diversified and non-oil dependent economies in the Gulf. While its hotels and restaurants are well-known around the world, nearly half of the restaurants and hotels surveyed by the company plan to close. Similarly, 74% of travel and tourism businesses are projected to close as a result of the massive losses suffered during the lockdown, as are 30% of transportation, storage, and communications businesses. These adverse impact in the main industries operating in the region is expected to have an adverse impact in the ASRS market as well owing to the outbreak of COVID-19

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the MEA automated storage and retrieval system market. The MEA automated storage and retrieval system market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period
