About the Report

Sales of pallet trucks have a direct correlation to consumption patterns and this has historically been the single largest determinant of the market. Due to this very reason, the market has seen a boom in East Asia in the past couple of decades, thus shifting the regional epicentre of the market from North America to East Asia.

Besides geographic consumption patterns, the mode of consumption is the other key factor for pallet trucks. This makes e-commerce and retail closely watched spaces by the market’s key players. Notably, all of these factors have undergone major shifts due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

E-commerce sales witnessed an unforeseen spurt in 2020 as the Covid-19 pandemic forced consumers to turn to the online medium for commodities they would otherwise have shopped for in person. The e-commerce space in the United States alone grew by 44 percent in 2020 with a staggering US$861.12 billion worth of sales. This percentage was not an exception but rather a norm in the pandemic year.

The boom in e-commerce also meant that most e-commerce companies registered huge profits and bought pallet trucks in large quantities. However, the growth in ecommerce did not translate into an overall growth in consumption.

Consumption across the world was hit due to the economic downturn caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Except China, nearly all major economies recorded contractions in 2020. Even developing economies like India and Indonesia saw a reversal in their growth trends and fell by huge margins; India’s economy declined by around 5.5 percent while Indonesia’s declined by around 3 percent.

What worries the market more is that both these populous countries (collectively around 20 percent of the world population), are largely consumption-based economies. And yet, a global economic recovery seems imminent with the success of national vaccination programmes. Given these ground realities, the demand for pallet trucks will be subject to various push and pull factors.
