Forklift Battery Market Analysis

The Forklift Battery Market size is estimated at USD 3.50 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 4.60 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.57% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • Recent COVID-19 led to declining sales due to low industrial activities and growth. North America witnessed a production decline of approximately 30% in Class 4-8 industrial truck production due to an economic slump, combined with a decline in new orders.
  • Countries like India, China, and ASEAN nations were key growth enablers for demand for forklift batteries, but they suffered badly during the COVID-19 crisis. However, after Q2 2021, demand for forklift batteries was seen in the growth phase owing to increased logistics and transportation activities across the globe.
  • Forklift batteries remained the crucial component of the forklift trucks as these are called the powerhouse of trucks supplying high energy and power to trucks. In addition, battery chemistry, including lead-acid and lithium-ion, is the most prominently used battery in the power supply of these forklift trucks. Among these, lead acid batteries are utilized by most consumers owing to the economical cost of procurement.
  • Lead acid batteries are preferred by all fork truck manufacturers as this helps to reduce the overall power supply costs. In addition, lithium-ion batteries are under the new battery chemistry introduced by battery manufacturers for forklift trucks to improve the material handling capabilities during dynamic operations. Also, lithium-ion batteries offer low battery charging time with prolonged power output.
