Powered industrial trucks reduce manual work, as they help manufacturers transfer various parts and materials from warehouses to the production line with ease and speed. Moreover, the developments in the e-commerce business drive the growth of the global forklift trucks market.

Asia-Pacific dominates the forklift truck market because of the huge need for forklift trucks from advancing nations. The increase in industrialization is one of the factors that is expected to aid the growth of the forklift trucks market. This growth is also a result of the rising demand in developing economies, such as China and India. North America is expected to witness a considerable CAGR due to the presence of prominent market players, such as Crown Equipment Corporation, Hyster-Yale Materials Handling Inc., and CLARK. The market for forklifts in this region is driven by the growing demand in the US retail sector.

Key Market Trends

Electric-powered Forklift Trucks are Gaining Popularity in Developed Nations

A major advantage of using electrically powered forklift trucks is that there is no need to store the fuel for them at their place of operation. The critical pollutant emissions from these forklift trucks also drive companies toward adopting electric material handling vehicles that can be easily operated and maintained inside warehouses.

The use of electrically powered forklift trucks is gaining huge ground in the developed regions of North America, Europe, and Asia that boast an established e-commerce industry and strict norms for emissions and concerns for sustainability. However, in emerging economies, there is still a preference for IC-engine forklift trucks.

Moreover, the demand for electric forklift trucks is witnessed across North America, and it is also projected to grow during the forecast period. According to the estimates of Clark Material Handling Company, US, the industry contributed over USD 25 billion annually to the US GDP, supporting more than 200,000 US jobs annually.

With several other advantages, like zero emission, low noise, better visibility, and the knack of virtually performing every task that an IC forklift can do, electric forklift trucks are expected to gain higher market share, and it is expected to be the fastest growing forklift type over the forecast period.

North America to Account for a Significant Portion in the Forklift Truck Market

This anticipated growth is because of the presence of prominent players in the United States. These players are involved in making heavy investments in adopting advanced and modern forklift trucks instead of conventional fork trucks.
