The Latin America, Middle East and Africa Forklift Market would witness market growth of 14.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2024-2031). In the year 2027, the LAMEA market's volume is expected to surge to 155.6 thousand units, showcasing a growth of 15.9% (2024-2031).
Lead-acid batteries are a common power source for forklifts, known for their reliability and cost-effectiveness. These batteries consist of lead plates immersed in an electrolyte solution of sulfuric acid, providing a steady and consistent power supply for electric forklifts. Lead-acid batteries are available in various voltages and capacities to suit different truck models and applications. They are robust and durable, capable of withstanding heavy usage and harsh operating conditions. Thus, the Brazil market consumed 18.05 thousand units of lead-acid battery-powered lift trucks in 2023.
The Brazil market dominated the LAMEA Forklift Market by Country in 2023, and would continue to be a dominant market till 2031; thereby, achieving a market value of$3.25 billion by 2031. The Argentina market is showcasing a CAGR of 15.3% during (2024 - 2031). Additionally, The UAE market would register a CAGR of 14% during (2024 - 2031).
