Trends in the Material Handling market

The material handling market can be divided into sub-categories: forklifts and automation for warehouses and industrial applications, port material handling (including container management), cranes and scrap material handling.

Demand is rapidly expanding, driven by multiple factors 

The growth in population and urbanization, combined with economic prosperity and higher productivity, amplifies the demand for sustainable cargo distribution solutions. 

  • Urbanization requires more, smaller warehouses around cities with high automation reducing labor costs. 
  • The convenience of digital shopping and rapid delivery has transformed consumer expectations, challenging supply chains to achieve new levels of speed and efficiency in product distribution.

In the meantime, increasing focus on sustainability and environmental concerns has fueled the demand for eco-friendly solutions, leading to a significant transition from gas or diesel-powered forklifts to electric models. Consequently, the already substantial share of electric forklift trucks in warehouses is expected to grow even further.

However, high upfront costs for forklifts often act as a barrier, delaying critical upgrades and hindering both operator efficiency and overall business growth.

Technology is rapidly making its way into warehouses 

The growing need for efficient order fulfillment, rapid delivery, and streamlined warehouse operations is driving demand for advanced material handling solutions. 

Warehouses are becoming smarter, more automated and more robotized, reducing labor costs, and increasing efficiency. AI is being leveraged to streamline order picking, enhance safety, optimize inventory management, and improve overall efficiency.
