Forklift Battery Market Size and Forecast 2021 - 2031, Global and Regional Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis Report Coverage: By Type, Capacity, Application, and Geography

List of Tables

The forklift battery market size was valued at US$ 5.94 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 9.23 billion by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 6.6% from 2025 to 2031.

Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) is an electric vehicle (EV) ownership concept that aims to separate the expensive battery component from the vehicle. BaaS offers an EV infrastructure solution in which users pay a subscription in exchange for the option to swap a depleted battery for a fully charged one at a swapping station. BaaS has emerged as one of the most promising trends shaping the future of the forklift battery market. This model is already gaining traction in the electric vehicle (EV) space, and it is now being introduced in electric forklift systems by leading companies such as Konecranes. With BaaS, the battery is not sold with the forklift. Instead, customers pay a monthly subscription to access, monitor, and upgrade batteries as needed-turning a high capital expense (CAPEX) into a more manageable operating expense (OPEX). Thus, the BaaS approach can significantly reduce the upfront cost of electric forklifts. By removing the burden of battery ownership and replacing it with a flexible usage model, BaaS makes electric forklifts more accessible and financially viable.

Further, battery swapping stations allow operators to quickly replace depleted batteries with fully charged ones-minimizing downtime and eliminating the need for long charging periods. This is especially valuable for operations with multi-shift or 24/7 demands. Real-time battery monitoring, e.g., monitoring services provided through Konecranes' online platform, also ensures better battery performance, longer life, and easier maintenance. Beyond cost and convenience, BaaS supports sustainability goals by facilitating battery reuse and recycling, along with offering the possibility of feeding unused energy back into the grid.

As businesses across globe increasingly focus on cost efficiency, operational uptime, and environmental responsibility, BaaS is expected to become a key trend driving the wider adoption of battery-powered forklifts, contributing to the growth of the forklift battery market.
