The global market for Vertical Lift Module (VLM) was estimated to be worth US$ 494 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 767 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period 2025-2031.

This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Vertical Lift Module (VLM) cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.

A vertical lift module (VLM) is an enclosed system that consists of two columns of trays with an inserter/extractor in the center. The VLM inserter/extractor automatically locates stored trays and retrieves trays from both the front and back of the unit with a push of a button and delivers them to the operator at an ergonomically positioned pick window.

The Vertical Lift Module (VLM) market is undergoing a transformative phase, characterized by rapid technological advancements and expanding applications across diverse industries. As a high-density automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS), VLMs have become indispensable in modern intralogistics, offering unparalleled space optimization and operational efficiency. This growth trajectory is primarily fueled by three megatrends: the relentless expansion of e-commerce, the global push for warehouse automation, and increasing real estate costs in urban industrial zones. Leading manufacturers such as Kardex Group, Hanel, Modula, and Autocrib are driving innovation, with their latest generation VLMs incorporating Industry 4.0 technologies including IoT connectivity, machine learning algorithms for inventory optimization, and advanced robotics for fully automated picking processes. The technological evolution of VLMs has been particularly remarkable in recent years. Modern systems now feature adaptive storage algorithms that dynamically rearrange inventory based on demand patterns, predictive maintenance systems using vibration and thermal sensors to prevent downtime, and hybrid human-robot collaborative interfaces that enhance workplace safety. Storage capacity has seen significant improvements, with high-end models like Modula's SlimLine offering up to 30,000 kg payload capacity while maintaining retrieval speeds of 60-80 cycles per hour. The integration of computer vision systems has enabled automated quality checks during the retrieval process, particularly valuable in pharmaceutical and electronics applications. From a sustainability perspective, manufacturers are developing energy-recovery systems that harness kinetic energy during vertical movements, reducing power consumption by up to 40% compared to conventional models. Despite these advancements, the market faces several challenges that could shape its future development. The high capital expenditure (typically $50,000-$500,000 per unit) remains a significant barrier for small and medium enterprises. There's an ongoing skills gap in operating advanced VLM systems, prompting manufacturers to develop augmented reality (AR) training modules.
