Aerial work platforms, also known as aerial lift platforms or aerial devices are mechanical devices used to provide temporary access for workers to inaccessible areas, usually at height. AWPs are used extensively in various construction, maintenance, commercial and domestic applications for tasks such as painting, cleaning windows, replacing light bulbs, maintenance and repair works. Rapid growth of the global construction industry due to infrastructural developments and increasing investments in commercial real estate is a major driver for the AWP market.

The global Aerial Work Platform (AWP) Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 40.95 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.5% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:
Increasing adoption of battery-powered aerial work platforms is one of the major trends observed in the AWP market globally. Battery-powered AWPs emit zero emissions and are safer and more efficient to operate indoors without concerns of emission of toxic fumes. Major AWP manufacturers have introduced various electric scissor lifts and boom lifts with lithium-ion batteries that offer extended runtimes compared to traditional fuel-powered machines. For instance, Genie, a brand of Terex Corporation offers S-70 Scissor Lifts with lithium-ion batteries that provide up to 8 hours of runtime on a single charge. Growing environmental awareness and stringent emission regulations for construction machinery are propelling the demand for clean, green and sustainable battery-powered AWPs.
