The pedestrian-operated power stacker segment is projected to contribute 39.6% of the market revenue in 2025, maintaining its lead among equipment types. This segment’s growth is fueled by its versatility in small to medium-sized warehouses where maneuverability and ease of operation are critical.
The pedestrian model is preferred for its cost-effectiveness and suitability in narrow aisles and confined spaces. Its design minimizes operator fatigue and increases operational safety, factors highly valued in busy logistics and distribution centers.
Additionally, rising adoption of pedestrian stackers in last-mile delivery hubs and retail warehouses has expanded the market. As demand for efficient manual handling continues, pedestrian-operated power stackers are expected to remain a dominant segment.
The lifting equipment application segment is expected to hold 42.3% of the power stacker market revenue in 2025, leading among end-use applications. This segment’s expansion is driven by the critical role of stackers in lifting, moving, and positioning loads within warehouses, manufacturing plants, and logistics hubs.
The versatility of power stackers in handling various materials and pallets has made them indispensable in streamlining internal logistics processes. Increased focus on workplace safety and ergonomics has led to greater reliance on mechanized lifting equipment, reducing manual handling injuries.
Growing warehouse automation and space optimization efforts have further encouraged investments in lifting power stackers. This segment is projected to sustain growth as industries continue to upgrade material handling capabilities.
The 1-1.5 tons load capacity segment is projected to contribute 47.8% of the market revenue in 2025, positioning it as the most preferred load range. This capacity range is well suited for handling medium-weight loads commonly found in retail, warehousing, and light manufacturing sectors.
The segment benefits from offering a balance between lifting power and maneuverability, allowing operators to efficiently move goods without the need for larger, more cumbersome machinery. Its popularity is further supported by diverse operational environments requiring frequent load handling and moderate lifting capacity.
The 1-1.5 tons segment also offers cost advantages over higher-capacity equipment while meeting the majority of day-to-day material handling requirements. With ongoing growth in warehouse throughput and logistics activity, this segment is expected to retain its market leadership.
Over the past few years, adoption of material handling equipment has burgeoned across the globe. Due to its low-cost maintenance, easy material handling capacity, and increased efficiency, the demand for power stackers is expected to rise across retail, food & beverage, and industrial sectors.
As power stackers are easy to operate and does not need certified operators, the demand for these low-cost power stacker for warehouse and inventory purposes is improving. This is predicted to propel the sales of power stacker over the assessment period.
Moreover, advent of automation in diverse industries such as food & beverage, retail, industrial, and others is expected to push the demand for material handling equipment across emerging economies. Besides this, implementation of safety regulations by government and reduced labor costs across India and China will drive the demand for power stacker.
Some of the factors limiting the sales in power stacker market include availability of alternate equipment and high raw material cost. Availability of forklifts through online sales channel in developing regions might limit the demand for power stacker.
Further, high raw-material prices for the production of power stacker is anticipated to limit the growth in power stacker market, especially in low-and-middle income economies. Hence, sales in Latin America market of power stacker might take a nosedive over the upcoming decade.
According to Future Market Insights, Asia Pacific power stacker market is poised to exhibit positive growth during the forecast period between 2025 and 2035. Growth in Asia Pacific power stacker market is underpinned by rising demand for automated and compact material handling equipment.
Rapid expansion of construction industry in India is another factor improving the demand for power stacker in the Asia Pacific market. Development of residential and commercial infrastructure in India and China will provide impetus to the demand in the market.
According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India is expected to become the world’s third-largest construction industry by 2025. The government in India is set to make an investment of around USD 2.3 Billion for the development of sustainable infrastructure by the end of 2025.
With growing construction activities in the country, the demand for power stacker is expected to increase over the forthcoming decade. Spurred by these factors, key players are eyeing the Asia Pacific market to increase their revenue, thereby, propelling the demand in Asia Pacific.
Demand for power stackers is expected to grow at a considerable pace across North America during the forecast period. This is owing to the rapid expansion of construction industry, rising adoption of automated technologies, and introduction of stringent regulations pertaining to safety during material handling.
