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.

Industry Developments



TWLi20, a new three-wheel electric lift truck powered by lithium-ion batteries, was introduced by CLARK in its line of industrial lift trucks in February 2022. Blue Energy Commercial Vehicles Private Ltd is an Indian company that manufactures zero-emission trucks under the name Blue Energy Motors and FPT Industrial, which is a global power train brand within IVECO Group, says it has in September 2022 concluded an agreement to invest in a small part of this company. This investment further demonstrates FPT Industrial’s commitment to expanding Blue Energy Motors and its aim of playing a major role in India’s decarbonization transition. The partnership prefigures the future possibility of deploying technologies in electrification even as it currently concentrates on natural gas fuel applications.


Tata Motors unveiled e-transport freight solutions with Ace EV, a new electric commercial vehicle designed to achieve zero carbon footprint emissions in May 2022. In addition to this, Tata Motors announced that they have entered into strategic agreements with BigBasket, MoEVing (an electric vehicle hire service), Amazon and other entities.


Mitsubishi Logisnext introduced the 80-Volt E-pneumatic truck from the Uni-Carriers forklifts fleet and it happened in June 2022. Forklifts built with such batteries maximize performance while minimizing battery replacement needs.


In November 2021, Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas launched mid-sized internal combustion pneumatic tire forklifts with the PF (D) 120N model as well as the PF (D) 80N model model. These engines are now being sold under their name by all dealers affiliated with UniCarriers. The Cascade Corporation division of Toyota Industries Corporation acquired both Lift-Tek Elecar S.p.A., Italy’s largest manufacturer/marketer of masts for forklifts, and Lift Technologies Inc., commonly known as Lift-Tek, an American mast maker/supplier for lift trucks during October 2021. In effect, Cascade Corporation has acquired the entire Lift-Tek inventory.
