Rising Demand from Infrastructure and Construction Sectors
The growing infrastructure and real estate sectors in India are driving the demand for aerial work platforms (AWPs). For instance, in January 2025, as per industry reports, India's infrastructure production witnessed 4.6% annual growth, reflecting an upward trend in industrial expansion and development activities. AWPs are becoming indispensable for high-rise building, bridge maintenance, and industrial facility maintenance, supplanting conventional scaffolding techniques. The demand is especially high for scissor lifts and articulated boom lifts, which offer greater safety and maneuverability in urban development schemes. Private real estate developments, such as commercial complexes and high-rise buildings, are also driving the use of AWPs. Additionally, with rising labor safety rules, developers and contractors are focusing on minimizing workplace hazards by using equipment that reduces risks at the workplace. The growing requirement for high-altitude maintenance activity in airports, power plants, and telecommunication infrastructure is contributing to market expansion as well. Furthermore, with continued urban infrastructure investments, India's AWP market will grow steadily.
Shift Toward Electrification and Sustainable Solutions
India’s aerial work platform market is experiencing a shift toward electric and hybrid-powered models as businesses seek sustainable alternatives to diesel-powered equipment. Stricter emission regulations and rising fuel costs are pushing companies to adopt electric scissor lifts and battery-powered boom lifts, which offer lower operational costs and reduced environmental impact. For instance, as per industry reports, petrol prices in India have increased by 30% over the last 10 years. Warehousing and logistics companies, particularly in e-commerce and retail, are increasingly opting for electric AWPs for indoor operations, where emissions and noise levels must be minimized. Advancements in battery technology, such as longer operational hours and faster charging capabilities, are making electric AWPs more viable for large-scale industrial applications. Additionally, hybrid models that combine electric and diesel power sources are gaining traction, offering flexibility for both indoor and outdoor use. With sustainability becoming a key focus for businesses and government policies promoting green equipment, the demand for eco-friendly AWPs is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.
