The reach stacker market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Recently, the market size for reach stackers has shown considerable growth. The projection is that it will escalate from $2.56 billion in 2024 to $2.7 billion in 2025, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. This growth trajectory in the past can be linked to factors such as the expansion of global trade, development in port infrastructure, increased adoption of renewable energy, enlargement of cargo vessel size, and the surge in container traffic.
The Reach Stacker market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The size of the reach stacker market is anticipated to witness significant expansion in the forthcoming years. The market is predicted to swell to $3.47 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%.
The burgeoning in this span can be attributed to factors such as environmental norms, urbanization and industrial growth, extension in port capacity, the rise of e-commerce, the acceptance of renewable energy and higher adoption in emerging regions. The forecast period is set to be characterized by trends including the assimilation of telematics and IoT, the emergence of electric and hybrid reach stackers, enhancements in operator convenience and safety, automation and remote control systems, and diversification and adaptability.
The global reach stacker market is being driven by the significant increase in worldwide seaborne trade. Seaborne trade involves the shipment of goods by sea, and the related trade balance reflects the differences in volumes of goods loaded and discharged, which are closely tied to the transit policies, operations, and infrastructure of other nations. Reach stacker vehicles, used in sea terminals or ports to transport intermodal cargo containers and facilitate seaborne trade, are witnessing increasing demand. Their growing use is rendering benefits to consumers globally via reduced freight costs, improved shipping efficiency, and enhanced economic liberalization. For example, a report by the Switzerland-based United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in October 2023 predicted a 2.4% growth in maritime trade volume for 2023, a rebound from a 0.4% decline in 2022. Consequently, the global rise in seaborne trade is fueling the expansion of the reach stacker market.
