Owing to favorable government initiatives to boost innovations and reinforce infrastructure capabilities, North America has the highest acceptance for emerging technologies. Any impact on industries in the region hampers the region's economic development. The US is the world's worst-affected country due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The country is home to a large number of industrial and forklift battery players, and the outbreak has severely affected the production performance of each of them due to disturbances in the supply chain of battery components. In addition, the region witnessed a slowdown in manufacturing industries during the first two quarters of 2020, and this factor has reduced the operations in factor and warehouses. The underperformance of forklift battery market players in North America is also attributed to limited human movement and shuttering of manufacturing units during the first half on 2020.
Based on type, the North America forklift battery market is segmented into lithium ion, lead-acid, and others. The lead-acid battery segment held the largest market share in 2020. A lead-acid battery is used as a system for energy storage and is deployed across various applications as a power source. These batteries consist of a sulfuric acid solution electrolyte with lead dioxide cathode and sponge metallic lead anode, making these units rechargeable. Large electrolyte reserves, resistance to corrosion and low discharge rate are a few of the key features of lead acid battery units that propel their demand. Moreover, economical pricing compared to other batteries, lower maintenance and replacement costs, and easy availability contribute to the growth of the market for lead-acid batteries. The segment is expected to dominate the market in terms of revenue during the forecast period.
