Based on chemistry, the lithium-ion segment is projected to exceed USD 4.6 billion by 2032, driven by the Lithium-ion batteries offer superior energy density, longer cycle life, and faster charging capabilities compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. These technological advancements make them highly suitable for industrial applications requiring reliable and efficient power sources. The rise in electric forklifts, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), and other electric material handling equipment in industries such as logistics and warehousing is driving the demand for lithium-ion traction batteries. Their performance advantages align well with the operational needs of these applications.
Based on application, the forklift segment is anticipated to register CAGR of over 15.2% through 2032, owing to the rapid expansion of e-commerce and logistics industries in Asia Pacific, driving significant demand for forklifts. As warehouses and distribution centers seek to enhance efficiency and automation, the adoption of electric forklifts powered by advanced traction batteries is increasing. There is a strong shift from internal combustion engine (ICE) forklifts to electric forklifts. Electric forklifts offer benefits such as reduced emissions, lower operating costs, and quieter operation.
China bolt on industrial traction battery market is projected to surpass USD 6.4 billion by 2032, on account of China’s ongoing industrialization and urbanization that drive significant demand for efficient material handling solutions, including electric forklifts and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). This increased demand for electric-powered equipment directly boosts the need for advanced traction batteries.
Similarly, in India, South Korea and Japan, the explosive growth of e-commerce has led to a surge in warehousing and logistics activities. This growth necessitates the use of modern material handling equipment like electric forklifts, which require high-performance traction batteries, driving market expansion. The government is actively supporting the adoption of clean energy technologies and reducing carbon emissions. Policies and incentives promoting electric vehicles and industrial electrification contribute to the growing demand for bolt on industrial traction batteries.
