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

List of Tables

The Europe forklift battery market size was valued at US$ 1,575.8 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 2,364.8 million by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 6.1% from 2025 to 2031.

Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) is a concept for electric vehicle (EV) ownership that separates the costly battery from the vehicle itself. It offers a subscription-based EV infrastructure where users can exchange a depleted battery for a fully charged one at a swapping station. BaaS has become a key trend in shaping the future of Europe's forklift battery market. Already gaining traction in the EV sector, it is now being introduced into electric forklift systems by major companies like Konecranes. Under the BaaS model, the battery is not sold with the forklift. Instead, customers pay a monthly fee to access, monitor, and upgrade the batteries as needed-transforming a large capital expense (CAPEX) into a more manageable operational cost (OPEX). This approach significantly lowers the upfront cost of electric forklifts and, by removing the responsibility of owning the battery and replacing it with a flexible usage model, BaaS makes electric forklifts more affordable and financially feasible.

Additionally, battery swapping stations enable operators to quickly replace depleted batteries with fully charged ones, minimizing downtime and eliminating the need for extended charging periods. This is particularly valuable for operations that run on multiple shifts or 24/7 schedules. Real-time battery monitoring, such as the services provided through Konecranes' online platform, also ensures optimal battery performance, longer lifespan, and easier maintenance. Beyond cost and convenience, BaaS supports sustainability efforts by promoting battery reuse and recycling, as well as offering the potential to feed unused energy back into the grid. As businesses across the region increasingly prioritize cost efficiency, operational uptime, and environmental responsibility, BaaS is expected to play a pivotal role in driving the broader adoption of battery-powered forklifts, thus contributing to the growth of the European forklift battery market.
