The electric utility vehicle market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the market size of electric utility vehicles has seen a robust expansion. There will be a growth from $14.83 billion in 2024 to $15.97 billion in 2025, experiencing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth exhibited in the historical period is due to various factors such as escalating fuel prices and energy security issues, collaboration and investments within the industry, issues related to urbanization and congestion, reduction in battery production expenses, and heightened environmental consciousness and sustainability.
The Electric Utility Vehicle market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, it is anticipated that the electric utility vehicle market will experience significant growth. This market is projected to expand to $22.37 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%.
This anticipated growth during the forecast period is a result of factors such as the development of charging infrastructure, changes in regulations and policies, consumer demand and preferences, global market expansion, and economic influences. Trends expected to emerge during the forecasted period include a variety of vehicle offerings, advancements in range and battery technology, the emergence of last-mile delivery solutions, measures towards fleet electrification, and sustainability goals set by governments and corporations.
The surge in e-commerce and warehousing activities is considerably influencing the expansion of the electric utility vehicle market. E-commerce is the online trading of goods and services or the transfer of money or data, while warehousing is the process of storing items for later sale or distribution. Electric utility vehicles like forklifts are widely employed in e-commerce warehouses to achieve their carbon neutrality objectives. For example, the United States Census Bureau, a US governmental organization, reported in August 2024 that U.S. retail e-commerce sales were $291.6 billion in Q2 2024, reflecting a 1.3% growth from Q1 2024, after adjusting for seasonal variation. The estimated total retail sales were $1,826.9 billion, marking a 0.5% increase from the last quarter. Year-over-year, e-commerce sales escalated by 6.7%, while total retail sales increased by 2.1%. E-commerce constituted 16.0% of the total sales. Unadjusted e-commerce sales for Q2 2024 were $282.3 billion, equating to 15.2% of total sales. Consequently, the rise in e-commerce and warehousing is propelling the expansion of the electric utility vehicle market.
