By Product Type Analysis
Electric segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period
The electric segment is projected to grow at a CAGR during the projected period, mainly driven by the rising innovations in the development of electric wheelbarrows in the marketplace. The growing demand for higher efficiency tools in the construction operations is encouraging people to equip themselves with electric wheelbarrows as they do not require manual labor, leading to lower labor costs for contractors.
By Price Analysis
Medium (US$ 50-200) segment held the significant market revenue share in 2023
The medium (US$ 50–200) segment held a significant market share in revenue in 2023, which is highly accelerated due to the continuous rise in cost-effective wheelbarrows in the marketplace. The ongoing need for efficient wheelbarrows for moving materials from one place to another is positively driving the demand for medium-priced products due to their affordability.
By Operation Analysis
Heavy-duty wheelbarrows are expected to witness significant growth
The growth of the heavy-duty wheelbarrow segment in the forecast period is highly influenced by the necessity of superior wheelbarrows in heavy-duty transportation, as it is usually difficult for laborers to lift the load manually without any support from the equipment tools. The rising heavy-load lifting activities, mainly in the construction space, are boosting the adoption of heavy-duty wheelbarrows. However, the establishment of wheelbarrows with the capability to carry heavy, medium, and lower weight loads is positively fueling the growth of the market during the study period.
