Press Releases

The global material handling equipment market is expected to grow at a 5.45% CAGR during 2021-2027. In the manufacturing industry, material handling equipment is a vital link. Although it does not directly contribute to product manufacturing, it increases efficiency in product handling, sorting, transportation, and manufacturing. These machines make it possible to move enormous volumes of goods and heavy materials quickly. Material handling equipment automates numerous processes in industrial facilities, reducing the need for human interaction. The growth of worldwide material handling equipment throughout the projection period is due to this equipment complementing production activities by guaranteeing an immediate, efficient movement of goods. The increasing initiatives by the government to promote infrastructural development globally by building rail networks, seaports, airports, power plants, etc., increased foreign capital to establish manufacturing industries, the rapid growth of the e-commerce sector across the globe, rising consumer spending on durable and non-durable products,  investment to upgrade or replace existing material handling equipment with high-tech equipment, the advent of warehouse management systems will bolster the growth of the material handling equipment market.

In November 2021, With the construction of a new supply chain solutions plant in Jinan, China, KION GROUP AG is pursuing its growth strategy in the Asia Pacific (APAC). KION's new counterbalance truck plant, which is nearing completion, will be adjacent to the new plant. This significant project, according to the global intralogistics supplier, will allow it to expand its product offering for warehouses and distribution centers in one of the most important and active material handling markets in the world. The KION Group's long-term expansion of operations in APAC, particularly in China, is critical to the company's growth strategy: in August 2020, the company began building on a new counterbalance truck manufacturing facility. The facility manufacturing forklift trucks is expected to be finished in early 2022.

The COVID-19 outbreak had slowed the growth of the material handling equipment industry in 2020. To avoid the virus from spreading, several government agencies implemented strict lockdowns. Large manufacturers' corporate development plans were hampered due to the coronavirus that hampered worldwide supply chains, halted production facilities.  The market, however, has regained momentum in 2021 with the resuming industrial operations following the relaxation of lockdown measures. During the ongoing pandemic, the business is likely to rise due to increased demand from the e-commerce market. A rise in the number of consumers who prefer to purchase online would motivate e-commerce companies to upgrade their warehouses, which will help the market outlook.
