Global Cargo Handling Equipment Market: Size, Share, Dynamics, Key-players, Y-O-Y Growth & Demand Analysis By Product & By Location (Marine Ports, Airports, Rail Yards) with Regional Outlook for Forecast Period 2016-2024

Cargo Handling Equipment Market

Market Overview

The global cargo handling equipment market is growing exponentially on the back of increasing container traffic on airports and marine ports. Cargo handling involves managing the storage and logistics of goods & products to manufacturing facilities, distribution centers and warehouses. More than 90% of general cargo trades today are containerized. Most of the containerized cargo is handled by the cranes, forklifts or by the deck cranes and other ship's own cargo gears. Stringent fuel emission norms and initiative by the different governments to replace diesel combustion engines with hybrid and electric equipments, expected to impel the demand for electric cargo handling equipments. Also, increasing awareness among service providers and cargo equipment operators towards electrification cargo operations, also expected to strengthen the market growth. The considerable growth projection of the airport cargo handling equipment market can be attributed to the increasing air passenger and cargo traffic. In 2016, more than 195,000 (Million Tons-Km) of cargo is transported through aircrafts which is projected to cross 300,000 (Million tons-km) by 2024. Both airline operators and airport authorities are focusing on implementation of advanced cargo handling equipments to meet the rising air cargo traffic and to ensure greater profitability and efficiency. Increasing cargo traffic at marine and airports indicates immense potential growth opportunities for cargo handling equipment market. Increased affinity can be seen in end-use industries to procure cargo handling equipments on lease or rent. Thus, rental based cargo handling equipments would push the end-users to use advanced material handling equipments.
