With the emergence of e-commerce and rising digital literacy among the consumers, the global logistics industry has been growing rapidly in the recent years and this trend has increased the demand for forklift trucks. In addition, factors such as rising disposable income, dual-income households, and constant urbanization have encouraged consumers from developed and emerging economies to adopt the trend of online shopping. This has further resulted in the rapid development of retail channels requiring efficient inventory management and warehousing solutions to ensure on time product delivery to customer. Hence the emergence of consumer retail sector is positively impacting the growth of the forklift battery market. Recently, the pharmaceutical companies have witnessed a sudden spike in demand for medicine and healthcare equipment due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, to ensure on time delivery of medicines and equipment, the swift logistics operations and services have been introduced by the various companies. For Instance, in Feb 2021, Mahindra Logistics engaged in logistics and transportation services for COVID-19 vaccines. Hence, the ongoing development is expected to increase the demand for forklift trucks to maintain smooth material handling operations at warehouses and the following development is positively impacting to the forklift battery market
The COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting every business globally since December 2019. The continuous growth in the number of virus-infected patients compelled governments to put a bar on transportation of humans and goods. The manufacturing sector witnessed severe losses due to temporary factory shutdowns and low production volumes, which hindered the growth of retail, e-commerce, manufacturing, and logistics sectors. Additionally, the social or physical distancing measures imposed by governments have put limitations on the operations of logistics and other service providers. This disruption has resulted in the decline in material handling work.
The pandemic has had a negative impact on the forklift batter market. Due to closure of major manufacturing industries supply chains, hence, goods handling work at plant and warehouses got impacted adversely and subsequently it also affected the market. On the contrary, due to the operational activities of essential goods such as food & beverage, pharmaceuticals and healthcare equipment, the demand for material stacking and inter-logistics handling work have spurred which has helped in the adoption of forklift trucks. This has led the forklift battery market players to witness the constant flow of demand for their products. Despite the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the business of mentioned sectors is likely to surge in the future as business are getting resumed after a long lockdown measure.
