The Asia Pacific Off-highway Electric Vehicles Market is expected to witness market growth of 21.9% CAGR during the forecast period (2025-2032).
The China market dominated the Asia Pacific Off-highway Electric Vehicles Market by country in 2024, and is expected to continue to be a dominant market till 2032; thereby, achieving a market value of $2.72 billion by 2032. The Japan market is registering a CAGR of 21.2% during 2025-2032. Additionally, the India market is expected to showcase a CAGR of 22.8% during 2025-2032.
Electric forklifts, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and warehouse robots are revolutionizing material handling operations. These vehicles offer enhanced maneuverability, reduced noise levels, and lower operating costs than traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) models. The rise of e-commerce and automation has further accelerated the demand for electric material handling solutions.
Various factors influence the adoption of off-highway electric vehicles, including government incentives, advancements in battery technology, infrastructure development, and increasing awareness of environmental sustainability. Lithium-ion and solid-state battery technologies are crucial in enhancing the adoption of off-highway electric vehicles.
The market is witnessing increased demand globally, driven by sustainability goals, infrastructure development, and technological advancements. China’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) prioritizes urbanization, energy, transportation, and water system infrastructure, with an estimated $4.2 trillion investment in new infrastructure. The plan also emphasizes green building development, targeting 350 million square meters of retrofitted structures and 50 million square meters of net-zero energy buildings. In addition, India’s Agriculture & Allied Sector is a vital pillar of its economy, contributing significantly to food security and rural employment. The sector has seen a rise in horticultural production, reaching 355.25 million tonnes in 2023-24, with a 1.15% increase in cultivated land. Also, Japan’s electric vehicle (EV) industry is expanding rapidly, with BEV sales increasing 2.7 times in 2022 compared to 2021. The country’s commitment to achieving 100% environmentally friendly vehicles by 2035 propels the demand for electric heavy machinery. Hence, the market in China, India, and Japan is expanding due to sectoral advancements in infrastructure, agriculture, and battery-electric technology.
