Cargo Handling Equipment Market Research, 2031
The global cargo handling equipment market was valued at $28.5 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $48.3 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2022 to 2031. Cargo handling refers to the overall activities in warehouses and logistics centers, such as loading and unloading cargo, transporting cargo, warehousing, picking, and sorting. The equipment making the cargo handling process efficient and smooth is referred to as cargo handling equipment.
The factors, such as the growing e-commerce industry coupled with the rise in trade-related agreements, fuel the market growth. In addition, the rise of tech-driven cargo handling solutions and the growing adoption of loT-enabled connected cargo handling equipment in turn is expected to drive the growth of cargo handling equipment industry.
However, lack of control of manufacturers on logistics service, poor infrastructure, along with higher costs of purchasing cargo handling equipment hinder the cargo handling equipment market growth.
During the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the construction, manufacturing, hotel, and tourism industries were majorly affected. Manufacturing activities were halted or restricted. This led to a decline in the manufacturing of various equipment used for cargo handling equipment as well as their demand in the market, thereby restraining the growth of the cargo handling equipment market. Conversely, industries are gradually resuming their regular manufacturing and services. This is expected to lead to the re-initiation of cargo handling equipment companies at their full-scale capacities, which helped the cargo handling equipment market to recover by end of 2021.
On the contrary, the emergence of last-mile deliveries, logistics automation, and cost-cutting & lead time reduction due to the adoption of cargo handling systems are some of the factors that are anticipated to foster market growth.
The cargo handling equipment market forecast is done on the basis of equipment type, propulsion type, application, and region. By equipment type, the cargo handling equipment market is fragmented into industrial trucks, tow tractors, conveying equipment, stacker, port cranes, and others. By propulsion type, the market is categorized into IC engine and electric. By application, the market is divided into air, road & rails, and marine.

Analyst Review
The cargo handling equipment market witnessed a huge demand in Asia-Pacific followed by North America. The highest share of the Asia-Pacific market is attributed to the increase in import and export business. Transporting products by air is more expensive than when compared with transporting commodities by water, which is expected to drive the growth of the market.
In addition, trade barrier such as tariff, which is tax imported on imported goods makes imported goods expensive. Hence, this affects imports and reduces port transportation and shipment. For instance, imports in the U.S. by China is higher as compared to export to China. The U.S. Government implemented a tariff tax system to control imports and to save domestic businesses. Efficient trade activities promote the economic growth of a country. Thus, seaports play a crucial role in economic activities, especially in coastal areas. With the increase in the throughput of passengers traveling via sea and goods transport every year, the need for appropriate and improved port infrastructure requiring efficient cargo handling operations has grown, which, in turn, is expected to foster market growth.
Moreover, market leaders are investing millions of dollars to automate ports by using IoT and AI systems to improve logistics and management of ports. These technological advancements and infrastructural requirements in port infrastructure are likely to create lucrative opportunities for market players.
Major companies in the market have adopted acquisition, business expansion, and agreement as their key developmental strategies to offer better products and services to customers.
