The charging system for material handling equipment market size was valued at US$ 3.18 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach US$ 6.22 billion by 2034; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% during 2026-2034.
Traditional wired charging solutions used in forklifts, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and other electric material handling equipment require manual plug-in processes, regular maintenance of connectors, and downtime during charging. Wireless charging technology eliminates these challenges by enabling contactless power transfer, improving operational efficiency, and reducing maintenance costs. This technology allows equipment to charge automatically when positioned over charging pads, supporting opportunity charging and continuous operation in warehouses and manufacturing facilities. As industries adopt automation and smart warehouse systems, wireless charging becomes a critical enabling technology that supports autonomous fleets and Industry 4.0 operations. In April 2023, Delta Electronics, Inc. showcased its latest MOOVair 30 kW Wireless Charging System for electric forklifts during LogiMAT 2023. The system uses advanced contactless power transmission technology to charge e-forklifts with up to 95% peak efficiency and can perform automatic charging over a gap of up to 150 mm. These solutions reduce the need for manual intervention in charging processes and minimize connector wear and maintenance requirements.
Wireless charging systems can be integrated with warehouse management and fleet management systems, enabling real-time monitoring and automated charging schedules that improve overall productivity and energy management. As more manufacturers introduce similar high-efficiency wireless charging solutions, logistics companies and warehouses are encouraged to transition toward electrified and automated fleets. This technological advancement opens new growth avenues for charging infrastructure providers and accelerates the adoption of efficient charging systems across the material handling equipment market.
The lead-acid battery segment is expected to grow at a significant pace during the forecast period. Lead-acid battery charging involves replenishing energy in batteries that use lead plates and sulfuric acid electrolyte. These chargers typically operate with constant voltage or multi-stage charging to prevent overcharging and extend battery life. Low-cost availability, reliability, and tolerance to rough handling make them suitable for forklifts, pallet jacks, and other material handling equipment. They are widely used due to mature technology and ease of maintenance. Cost-sensitive operations, availability of infrastructure, and large-scale fleets in warehouses drive the demand for lead-acid chargers. Moreover, advances such as fast-charging and automated watering systems further increase their adoption, supporting high utilization in material handling environments where durability and predictable performance are crucial.
