Aerial Work Platform Market Outlook- 2027
The global aerial work platform market size is expected to reach $14,351.7 million in 2027, from $9,272.9 million in 2019, growing at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2020 to 2027. Aerial work platforms (AWP), also known as aerial lifts, mobile elevating work platforms (MEWP), cherry pickers, and others, find their applications in construction, warehousing, renovation, maintenance, utilities, and others end-user industries. AWPs are specially designed for elevating or raising personnel up to suitable heights and offer a stable and safe base during the uplifted stage. AWPs can be used in both indoor and outdoor applications and are highly versatile and efficient.
The compact and versatile use of AWP surges its demand from the construction industry. Articulated boom lifts, telescopic boom lifts, scissor lifts, and others offer compact and easy transportation, which make them easy for use in indoor as well as outdoor construction activities. Further, the stable working conditions offered by AWPs help in reducing accidents and fatalities on construction sites; thus, making them a better choice than traditional scaffoldings. Thus, the high demand from construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the aerial work platform market. Moreover, the rapid infrastructural and manufacturing development in China drives the demand for AWP in the country. In addition, increased focus of Chinese manufacturers toward production of aerial work platforms is expected to drive the aerial work platform market growth.

However, the unavailability of skilled personnel to operate aerial work platforms is expected to restrain the growth of the aerial work platform market. AWPs are highly advanced and lack of training within operators can result in accidents. Hence, the adoption of AWPs is also significantly low in under-developed and developing countries. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the normal operation of every industry. The government-imposed lockdowns and unstable economic conditions has declined the demand for AWPs; thereby, hindering the growth of the aerial work platform market. In addition, the halt in construction and logistics & transportation activities has also affected the demand for AWP during 2020.
On the contrary, the development in new battery technologies is expected to boost the demand for electric aerial work platforms in the near future. The new and upgraded emission standards and limitations in indoor use of engine-powered AWP can create new opportunities for fully electric and hybrid AWPs; thereby, creating opportunities for the growth of the aerial work platform industry.
