Core data of this paper: production of electric forklift, consumption of electric forklift and electrification rate of forklift market.
Electric forklift refers to a forklift that uses the battery as the source power to drive the driving motor and hydraulic system motor, so as to realize driving and loading and unloading operations. Compared with the traditional internal combustion forklift, the engine + fuel + transmission system has become a motor + Battery + electronic control system, which is mostly used for indoor operation. Due to no pollution and low noise, it is widely used in indoor operation and other industries with high environmental requirements.
The annual output of electric forklifts in China is more than 300000
From 2015 to 2019, the output of electric forklifts in China's forklift manufacturing industry increased year by year, from 122000 in 2015 to 293200 in 2019, with an average annual compound growth rate of about 25%. In 2020, benefiting from the rapid recovery of domestic industrial manufacturing from the epidemic, the overall production and sales volume of the forklift industry increased significantly. It is preliminarily estimated that the national output of electric forklifts will be about 380000 in 2020.
The sales volume of electric walking storage forklift accounts for nearly 80%
From 2015 to 2020, the sales volume of electric forklifts in China's forklift manufacturing industry showed an overall growth trend year by year. Benefiting from the rapid control of COVID-19 in 2020, China's Forklift demand market grew rapidly. In 2020, the sales of forklift trucks in China's forklift manufacturing industry reached 410 thousand and 300 units, an increase of 37.4% over the same period. In 2021, the sales volume of domestic electric forklifts still maintained a rapid growth, with a cumulative sales volume of 315100 units in the first half of the year, a significant increase of 100.4% year-on-year. The low-carbon and environmental protection characteristics of electric forklift meet the theme of contemporary energy development. Electric forklift is more and more favored by users. Electric forklift has become the main force of forklift market.
In terms of product categories of electric forklift, in 2020, the sales volume of electric walking storage forklift accounted for the largest, accounting for 79%; Secondly, the sales volume of electric balance weight passenger driven forklift accounts for 18%, and the sales volume of electric passenger driven storage forklift accounts for 3%. On the whole, the proportion of economical electric walking storage forklifts is relatively large, which is mainly the inevitable result of multiple factors such as cost control in the downstream demand market and machine replacement, while there is still a lot of room for improvement between electric balance weight passenger car forklifts and electric passenger car storage forklifts.
There is still a big gap in the penetration rate of forklift electrification at home and abroad
Under the background of low-carbon and environmental protection, the electric transformation and upgrading of forklift industry has become an inevitable trend of industry development. The electric forklift technology has gradually matured, and the electric forklift industry has great development potential in the domestic market. According to wits (World Union for industrial vehicle Statistics), in 2020, the sales volume of electric forklifts in the European forklift market accounted for 87%, the United States accounted for 69%, and the global average accounted for more than 60%, while the domestic electric forklifts accounted for only 51% in 2020. Under the two wheel drive of environmental protection policies and technologies, the proportion of electric forklifts in China will further increase in the future.
