Market Synopsis

Industrial Trucks and Forklifts to Drive Away the Top Spot

Industrial trucks and forklifts are an essential part of any major manufacturing plant, as they carry heavy loads on the shop floor much faster than human material handlers. This equipment also plays a vital role in inventory control and warehouse management. Being a major part of material handling, industrial trucks and forklifts acquire the majority of the market share in the overall material handling equipment market. In terms of market value, the truck and forklift are closely followed by conveyors. Conveyors are the most common material handling system available and an essential component for unattended material transit within the manufacturing unit. Other equipment, including cranes and hoists, pallets, racks, and shelves, also claim a fair share of the overall market. Automated material handling equipment is the fastest-growing equipment and is projected to grow by leaps and bounds in the coming years. Major manufacturers and robotic companies are focusing on improving automated material handling devices, and the sub-segment is expected to take over traditional equipment during and beyond the forecast period from 2018 to 2026.

Automotive, Manufacturing, and Processing Compete for the Top Position

With respect to end-use industries, manufacturing and processing, and the automotive industry face off in close quarters for the majority of market share and market value. The exponential growth of the automotive industry and the introduction of advanced assembly lines created a positive impact on the demand for material handling equipment. The manufacturing and processing sectors are also running at full capacity, and the scale is on a path to perpetual rise, along with the need for more sophisticated material handling equipment. Besides, transportation and logistics are the fastest-growing segments in the material handling equipment market. Growing global trade and a consistent rise in e-commerce depend heavily on material handling equipment and have a high probability of achieving significant market value in the coming years.

Asia Pacific to Reign Supreme over North America and Europe in Terms of Market Value

The presence of developing countries and a high concentration of automotive and manufacturing process units crowned Asia-Pacific as the leading region in the material handling equipment market. Countries such as China, India, South Korea, and Taiwan, among others, are witnessing tremendous growth in their manufacturing capacities and are procuring more material-handling methods to enhance their capabilities. North America trails Asia-Pacific in terms of market value. This region is one of the earliest to adopt automated material handling equipment, and industrial automation is growing at a brisk pace in this region. Europe does not lag far behind North America in terms of market value.

Market Segmentation

Good Opportunities A tug-of-war between local and international players in the material handling equipment market
