MARKET OUTLOOK
Based on Triton’s research report, the global forklift truck market is expected to witness growth at a CAGR of 8.08% in revenue and 6.09% in volume during the forecast period 2023-2030.
The growing demand from the e-commerce sector is a key driver of the forklift truck market. As the sector continues to expand, there is an increased need for efficient handling, storage, and transfer of goods in warehouses. Forklift trucks play a vital role in meeting this demand by enabling quick and effective movement of products, enhancing logistics, and improving overall productivity in the e-commerce supply chain.
However, the forklift truck market faces challenges due to stringent training and emissions regulations. Compliance with strict training standards ensures safe operations while meeting emissions regulations. Adhering to these regulations is crucial for market players to maintain operational efficiency and sustainability.
On the other hand, the rising demand for electric forklifts presents significant opportunities in the forklift truck market. As businesses increasingly prioritize sustainability and efficiency, the shift towards electric forklifts offers benefits such as reduced emissions, lower operating costs, and improved workplace safety. Manufacturers can capitalize on this trend by expanding their electric forklift product lines.
