Electric Lift Trucks Market worth over $130 Bn by 2030

Electric Lift Trucks Market size is set to surpass USD 130 billion by 2030, according to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

The manufacturing and industrial sectors worldwide are rapidly shifting to electrically powered equipment to improve overall production and material handling operations. The introduction of smart and connected forklift trucks has helped businesses to enhance productivity in a sustainable and energy-efficient manner. A paradigm shifts from manual protocols to cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and the internet of things (IoT) will help electric lift truck manufacturers to offer advanced features to end-users.
 

Electric forklifts are extensively used in warehouses as they have a longer life span and helps reduce repair costs and emissions. However, rising incidences of forklift accidents due to a lack of trained operators is a major challenge restricting industry growth. Employing operators without sufficient training and understanding of the equipment can affect the efficiency and productivity of day-to-day operations across manufacturing sites and warehouses.
 

Growing ecommerce sector to boost electric lift trucks deployment across warehouses

The warehouse product segment accounted for USD 20 billion in 2021. E-commerce companies require warehouses to stack products before shipping them to distributors. Warehouse lift trucks are used across these facilities for handling various heavy or hazardous materials. Food and beverage brands, pharmaceutical companies, and manufacturers of healthcare products incorporate these vehicles to minimize exposure to complex products. As businesses are seeking to transition to energy-efficient technologies and setting ambitious carbon emission goals, the deployment of electric warehouse lift trucks could accelerate.
 

Lower maintenance costs to drive Class I electric lift truck sales

The class I electric lift trucks segment is anticipated to witness over 10% growth rate between 2022 and 2030. Organizations use class 1 lift trucks to transfer heavy pallets and unload tractor-trailers. These vehicles are powered using heavy batteries that also act as a counterweight. They offer greater versatility and feature cushion tires for flat indoor surfaces or pneumatic tires for outdoor applications. Advantages like low maintenance costs and zero emissions will make Class 1 electric lifts ideal for deployment in environments with strict air quality standards.
