Stacker Market Outlook - 2026
The Global Stacker Market Size was valued at $2,033.1 million in 2018, and is projected to reach $ 3,136.2 million by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2019 to 2026. A stacker is a material handling machine, which is available in a variety of patterns with hydraulic and electric technologies. These material handling machines are used in shop floors, factories, warehouses, transportation hubs, manufacturing, and logistics. In addition, stackers are designed with varied lifting capacities for material handling for construction applications, worksites, and maintenance applications.
The adoption of compact material handling equipment has gained traction in recent years, owing to their easier maintenance, movability, as well as similar performance compared to heavy machinery. Moreover, unlike heavy machineries, compact material handling equipment, such as stackers, do not require certified operators and are significantly easier to operate. In addition, lower costs of stackers compared to other conventional material handling equipment boosts their popularity among end-users.
The global stacker market is also driven by the rise in infrastructure projects globally. Rapid growth in population and economy, globally, has led to increase in infrastructure related projects, especially in emerging economies. For instance, in the year 2018, the Government of China approved 27 infrastructure projects estimated $ 219 billion to rescue its slowing economy. Thus, increase in number of residential complexes, construction of roads, and development of infrastructure, especially in emerging economies such as India, China, Bangladesh, and Africa, are expected to drive the stacker market growth. However, the adoption of forklift for material handling is anticipated to hamper the stacker market growth.

Electric segment is projected to grow at a significant CAGR
Furthermore, battery operated stackers are gaining popularity in end user industries, owing to its ability to handle double pallet and horizontal transport. Many companies are focusing on development of stackers with features such as robust construction, smooth functioning, and enhanced durability. For instance, in May 2019, Raymond Corporation, a Toyota company, launched Raymond Courier 3030 stacker. The product is next-generation automated lift truck stacker and allows horizontal transport and vertical pallet lift. Further, it provides a lift height up to 72 inches and has a weightlifting capacity of 2,500 pounds.
