One of the main drivers of the global forklift truck market's growth is the expanding construction sector, which is also contributing to rapid industrialization. Forklift trucks are incredibly efficient, simple to use, powerful, and low maintenance. They are therefore frequently employed for carrying out numerous industrial duties and moving heavy building supplies like mortar, steel, and wood. The expansion of the forklift truck industry is also being aided by the rising number of warehousing facilities in emerging economies.

The global forklift truck market is segmented based on power source, class, end user, and region.

The global market is divided into internal combustion engines and electric based on the power source. With a market share of more than 60% in 2021, the electric sector is predicted to continue to dominate during the forecast period. In comparison to forklifts powered by gasoline or diesel, electric forklifts are more environmentally friendly. Electric vehicles also require less maintenance than those powered by internal combustion engines. The sale of automobiles powered by combustion engines is being phased out in several nations, including the United Kingdom, India, and France. Over the forecast period, demand for electric forklifts is anticipated to be driven by the advantages of electric vehicles and supportive government efforts.

The global market for forklift trucks is divided into class I, class II, class III, class IV, and class V based on class. During the projected period, the class III category is anticipated to dominate the market. Class 3 forklifts include pallet jacks and motorized warehouse pedestrian vehicles. Because they are less expensive to purchase and operate than forklifts, their demand has increased in warehouses and distribution centers. The class I segment, on the other hand, is anticipated to experience exceptional growth during the forecast period. The large demand for electric rider trucks across end-use industries, including factories, food service, retail, and manufacturing, is likely to boost the market expansion. Additionally, the demand for electric rider trucks is being fueled by their ability to fit in small locations and provide fast operating speeds.

The market is divided into logistics, automotive, retail & wholesale, food sector, and others based on end users. During the projected period, the retail & wholesale segment is anticipated to have the biggest market share. Forklift trucks are useful in the dynamic wholesale and retail industries since they are efficient, highly productive vehicles. These trucks have been modified and furnished with a range of options to meet the growing needs of retailers. They assist in the process of air conditioning manufacture. A coordinated set of controls, motors, and supporting software. Forklifts are ideal for the wholesale industry because of their efficient design, which allows them to move more items per hour on a single battery charge. Forklift use in the retail and wholesale sectors makes it possible to load and unload trailers quickly and efficiently with little risk of product damage, which is what is driving the market for forklift trucks in these sectors to expand.

The market for forklift trucks is divided into five regions based on geography: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. The Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the global forklift truck market during the forecast period. The expansion of the regional market is being fueled by a growing industrial sector in several nations, including China, Japan, India, and South Korea, which may be attributed to advantageous government initiatives. China has a robust manufacturing industry and exports goods to other nations worldwide. To increase productivity, Chinese manufacturers deploy cutting-edge machinery in their plants. According to the World Bank, the industrial sector in South Korea contributed over 33% of the country's GDP in 2020. The market will experience considerable expansion as more businesses employ forklifts to meet the various material handling demands.
