Industrial Vehicles Market Share

ID: MRFR//1660-HCR | 111 Pages | Author: Sejal Akre| May 2024

The Industrial Vehicles market is experiencing significant trends driven by the ever-changing nature of industrial operations globally, technological developments and increased need for efficiency and sustainability. The rise in adoption of electric industrial vehicles is a notable trend. Electric powered industrial vehicles are becoming more common due to efforts to reduce carbon emissions, achieve energy efficiency targets and comply with environmental laws. Forklifts, pallet jacks and other materials handling equipment are transitioning from traditional internal combustion engines to electric power thus creating cleaner, more sustainable industry operations This trend aligns with the broader push towards electrification in the transportation sector.

Another notable recent development in the market for industrial vehicles is the integration of automation and smart technologies. The emergence of Industry 4.0 has resulted in autonomous and semi-autonomous industrial vehicles that are fitted with sensors, cameras, and connectivity capabilities. These vehicles facilitate instantaneous data share, remote monitoring and automated operations that improve efficiency as well as safety within the industry settings. This trend towards smart industrial vehicles exemplifies the desire in the industry to enhance productivity and simplify logistics through digitization.

Ergonomic design and operator comfort are other critical aspects of industrial vehicle design. Manufacturers have developed products that come with better operator interfaces, flexible controls, improved visibility among others to create a conducive working environment which is user friendly. This trend has been driven by growing recognition of the significance of operators’ wellbeing on productivity as ergonomic design becomes an important criterion when selecting material handling & logistics application (s) specific industrial vehicles.

Additionally, electrification has been one of the market trends in heavy-duty application in industrial vehicles industry. Different sectors are using electric power driven industrial vehicles such as electric trucks to replace their diesel counterparts besides heavy duty forklifts amongst other devices. In major material handling operations and warehouses there is need to reduce emissions hence occasioning heavy-duty vehicle electrification . As battery technology progresses enabling longer hours of operation and faster recharging times; thus this shift toward electrification will go on for some time Heavy duty Industrial Vehicles.

On top of that, telematics integration into fleet management solutions also defines the dynamics of the industrial vehicle markets today.Telematics systems provide tracking ,monitoring analytics for fleets of these machines thus helping optimize routes manage fuel use resulting into improved overall performance.Purchasing telematics assists in making better decisions cost savings making a move forward from reactive maintenance tactics normally used by many industries.This reflects a larger trend within the broader industry that seeks to leverage data analytics to enhance asset management

Industrial Vehicles Market Synopsis:


The global industrial vehicles market is estimated to reach around USD 38023.14 billion by 2030, growing at ~3% CAGR during the forecast period 2022 to 2030.


The global industrial vehicles market is majorly driven by the increase in the number of massive warehouses set up by e-commerce companies such as Amazon and eBay. These e-commerce warehouses majorly require the industrial vehicles to stack large quantities of products and also transportation of the stocked goods from the warehouse to the end user in a cost-effective and efficient manner. The market is also driven by the increase in the use of battery-operated industrial vehicles with increasing awareness about the environment and with the government regulations for controlling the carbon-dioxide emissions from industrial vehicles. The increase in fuel prices is expected to boom the sales of fuel-efficient industrial vehicles such as battery-operated industrial vehicles. The increase in need of transporting temperature-sensitive products fuels the demand for refrigerated industrial vehicles.


The high cost of automation is hindering the market growth. Whereas, emerging economies such as China, India, Mexico, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia are developing smart factories in the material handling industry and growing demand for driverless industrial vehicles, creating growth opportunities for the global market.
