Global Industrial Battery Market for Material Handling Equipment 2017-2021

Global industrial battery market for material handling equipment outlook

According to Technavio's global industrial battery market for material handling equipment research report, the industry will grow at a CAGR of close to 9% during the forecast period. One of the key factors that will stimulate the industrial battery market for material handling equipment growth is the increasing demand for electric forklift applications. Various mechanical, automotive, food and beverage, logistics, chemical, timber and paper printing, and retail and wholesale companies extensively rely on battery-powered forklifts. Many end-users adopt electric forklifts because they are associated with low noise level and reduced emissions and eliminate the cost of fuel. Additionally, they also exhibit longer lifespan in comparison to ICE-powered forklifts. The increasing adoption of battery-powered forklifts boosts the demand for lead-acid battery because they are cost-effective and offer high resilience even in harsh environmental conditions involving chemicals, dirt, and vibration.

The declining purchase price of lithium ion batteries is one of the key industrial battery market for material handling equipment trends responsible for the growth in the market. Li-ion batteries can store more electricity in the same size cell because they offer higher energy densities in comparison to lead-acid or nickel-metal hydride batteries. The decline in its price lowers the cost of material handling equipment and boosts the adoption of battery-operated material handling equipment such as forklifts.
