The U.S. aerial work platform market size is expected to reach USD 9.18 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing demand from the construction and agriculture industry for aerial work platforms (AWP) owing to their benefits, such as easy access to elevated work sites and the ability to perform efficiently on even and uneven ground, is an important factor expected to drive the growth of the market. Likewise, mining companies are heavily deploying scissor lift at work sites as they provide maximum reach capabilities. Thus, the wide applicability of aerial work platforms at mining locations to access tunnels, shafts, and other hard-to-reach spaces is another factor expected to support the market growth from the mining industry.
The increasing establishment of new warehouses, modern large supermarkets, and distribution centers and their approach towards multi-layer stacking and storage of goods is generating demand for lift machines that are compact and perform high-level lifting operations. Deployment of aerial work platforms in warehouses aids workers in accessing high shelves and stacking pallets safely and quickly. These lift machines help streamline the process of inventory management and picking operations, ultimately increasing operational efficiency. Thus, increasing demand from warehouses and supermarkets for mast and gantry self-propelled aerial work platforms is expected to drive the growth of the U.S. aerial work platform industry.
Additionally, aerial work platforms provide workers from the telecommunication industry safe and easy access to elevated infrastructure, allowing them to efficiently inspect and conduct routine maintenance. Also, these platforms help install new equipment and repair the damaged ones resulting in minimizing downtime and ensuring uninterrupted services. Thus, the high adoption of aerial work platforms from the telecommunication sector for installation, maintenance, and repair of communication lines, power cables, and utility poles is another factor responsible for the growth of the aerial work platform industry in the U.S.
