In 2018, China's forklift market is constantly looking for new directions

1. The output of forklift trucks in China will continue to grow. By the end of this year, the output of forklift trucks will exceed 2.2 million, and the number of forklift trucks will maintain an annual growth rate of 10% in the next few years. By 2020, the output of forklift trucks will reach 2.7 million. The development of new energy forklift trucks and AGV will change the market demand and service of forklift trucks.

2. The new energy forklift will be the biggest growth point in the next few years. The new energy forklift includes the transformation of traditional lead-acid batteries, the improvement of charging technology, the promotion of lithium batteries, and the trial use of some hydrogen energy. This series of energy changes will bring changes to the business model and operation mode of forklift production and use. Last year, the sales of BYD lithium battery forklift exceeded 10000, and it is expected to exceed 20000 this year.

Lithium batteries and new energy batteries are increasingly recognized in the market. The technical reliability, use safety and the promised service life of lithium batteries have also been verified in the market.

In 2018, the two major themes of new energy in the forklift market are the rise of lithium batteries and the transformation of traditional lead-acid batteries.

3. The rapid development of forklift leasing service. Recently, during the "double 11" period, the forklift leasing service reached a high point. Many forklift leasing companies have rented out their forklifts. As this mode becomes more and more mature, the forklift leasing mode also grows rapidly.

4. Demand for parts supply

China has become the largest production base and market of forklifts and accessories in the world.

5. Domestic forklift brands are gradually gaining the upper hand

A well-known foreign consulting company has analyzed the global forklift market and believes that the share of Chinese forklift brands in the forklift market will continue to grow. The domestic Hangzhou forklift and Heli forklift have confirmed this.
