The forklift is a small industrial vehicle, having a power-operated forked platform attached at the front that can be raised and lowered for insertion under a cargo to lift or move it. Forklifts serve the needs of various industries including warehouses and other large storage facilities. The global Forklift Truck market is projected to witness significant growth in the forecast period. Rising demand for forklifts truck from e-Commerce companies across the world is one of the important factors which boost the growth of the global Forklift Truck market. Demand for forklifts trucks is increasing due to the expansion of the warehousing and logistic industries, as forklifts trucks are required to perform numerous activities in warehouses.
Additionally, the increasing need for the safety of workers who perform critical tasks of lifting and carrying heavy loads in many industries is projected to drive the global Forklift Truck market. Also, the rising demand for advanced material handling systems to transport and load products is the key fact which further boosting the growth of the global Forklift Truck market. In addition to this, governments of many countries have passed stringent regulations and rules for emission control from diesel and gasoline forklifts truck, which in turn is driving the demand for electric forklifts truck.
However, electric forklifts are expensive owing to the high cost of lithium-ion batteries, which is projected to hamper the Forklift Truck market. Moreover, the high cost of fuel cell operated forklifts and maintenance cost of fuel cell forklifts are projected to hamper the growth of the Forklift Truck market. Besides this, innovations and advancements in the forklift by changing the propulsion system and introduction of autonomous forklifts with new technology are projected to offer significant opportunities to the global Forklift Truck market during the forecast period
Covid-19 Impact on Forklift Truck Market
The outbreak of the covid-19 has a severe and swift impact on the automobile and transportation industry. This is majorly due to the shutdown of assembly plants in the US, interruptions across Europe in large-scale manufacturing, and disruption in the export of Chinese parts. In addition to this, the industry is dealing with reduced demand across the globe due to changes in customer behavior and shifts in a supply-demand chain. A recent study shows a 39% decline in sales of automotive all over the world. Moreover, the nationwide lockdowns have substantially affected the transportation sector. Restrictions on transportation accounted for a 45 to 55% decline in public as well as private transport sectors.
Forklift Truck Market Segment Overview
Based on type, the Rough Terrain segment dominated the global Forklift Truck market owing to the rising market volume, high lifting capabilities, and high reliability. Additionally, based on class, the Class-1 segment is anticipated to hold a maximum share of the global Forklift Truck market. Increasing demand for electric forklift trucks in warehouses and the logistic industry due to several fuel emission norms and suitable for short distances. Based on application, the Industrial and Construction segment has a maximum share in the global Forklift Truck market. An increase in construction and infrastructure development across the globe is expected to fuel the demand for forklifts truck. Several governments are trying to develop infrastructure for economic development, which would require the forklift truck to lift and transport heavy loads at construction sites. This prime fact is anticipated to fuel the growth of the global Forklift Truck market steadily.
