The market is undergoing significant transformation, driven by advancements in technology and automation, particularly in the e-commerce application segment. This sector sees substantial private investment in industrial equipment and machinery, enhancing efficiency in the warehousing industry. Worker safety awareness remains paramount, influencing the development and adoption of innovative material handling equipment. Automation continues to reshape the landscape, improving the distribution of machinery and systems for the transportation of goods and materials. Warehouse owners are increasingly integrating these technologies to optimize operations and ensure worker safety. These developments underscore a growing demand for reliable and efficient solutions, highlighting the pivotal role of technology breakthroughs in shaping the future of the material handling equipment market.
The growth of the construction sector is notably driving the market. The global construction industry is growing at a rapid pace due to the increasing demand for residences and commercial buildings such as office and retail complexes. Besides, governments across the world are investing in social infrastructures such as healthcare, education, power, transport, and communication. This is evident in countries such as India, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, where governments are investing heavily in the development of smart cities.
In October 2018, Saudi Arabia announced the project NEOM for building a multi-billion-dollar megacity. The first phase is expected to be completed by 2025. The Government of Qatar is likely to spend billions of dollars on infrastructure development for the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup. The development of infrastructure worldwide necessitates the need for industrial and construction machinery, including handling and lifting equipment. Thus, the growth in the global construction industry will fuel the market during the forecast period.
The growth of the equipment rental business is the primary trend driving the market. handling and lifting equipment are associated with high initial investment and maintenance costs. Hence, many SMEs are increasingly opting for machinery on a rental basis and are gradually investing less in the purchase of handling and lifting machinery. Renting handling and lifting equipment is considered a low-risk option as it provides customers access to the latest, technologically upgraded machinery that is incorporated with the latest hardware.
Moreover, the increasing demand for rental equipment is encouraging market players to provide a broad range of handling and lifting machinery in the rental construction area for customers, such as construction companies, industrial companies, municipalities, government agencies, and independent contractors. This trend is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
Fluctuating prices of raw materials are the major challenges impeding the market. The major raw materials used for building handling and lifting equipment are steel, hardened steel, and aluminum. The prices of these raw materials keep continuously fluctuating due to various macroeconomic factors, such as inflation, labor cost, and regulatory policy changes. In addition, various other factors cause fluctuations in the raw material prices, such as iron ore, steel, and aluminum.
However, fluctuations in the prices of raw materials are directly correlated to the production of handling and lifting equipment. When the prices of raw materials reach a threshold limit, raw material suppliers are compelled to pass on the increased price to their downstream industries. This directly affects the growth of various industries as well as handling and lifting manufacturers. All these factors are negatively influencing the global market growth during the forecast period.
