Forklifts also called lift trucks or powered industrial trucks, are small truck-like vehicles used to move various types of materials over short distances. They are widely used by retailers in warehouses to manage their storage space efficiently. With online shopping increasing owing to the COVID-19 outbreak, the demand for lift trucks in retail sector is bound to increase.

Lift trucks play a vital role in the manufacturing sector. They do not directly contribute to the manufacturing of products but are crucial for inventory management and transportation of goods in an efficient manner. They enhance the manufacturing process by ensuring a smooth and organized transfer of raw materials and products over the production line. Lack of skilled labor is expected to impede market growth from 2020 to 2027. However, market players are taking initiatives and are conducting training programs for employees. For instance, Toyota's forklift dealers offer one on one forklift training at their local dealership centers. Furthermore, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has various training sessions for forklifts, ensuring a safe work environment. Moreover, the advent of autonomous vehicles for warehouses and manufacturing facilities is anticipated to overcome this challenge and open new avenues for market growth over the next seven years.

The market is moderately fragmented and is characterized by a high degree of competition among major players. These companies are focusing on adopting various growth strategies such as acquisitions and mergers, regional expansions, and launching technologically advanced lift trucks to gain a competitive advantage. For instance, in June 2018, Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. announced the acquisition of Zhejiang Maximal Forklift Co., Ltd. for USD 90.0 million. Through this acquisition, the company aims to strengthen its low-cost manufacturing capabilities and enhance its product offering and expand its business in China.
