Understanding the Forklift market

Hi everyone,

I am a university student who is new to the website! I am currently doing some analysis on industrial sector and emerging technology, in particular im interested in battery powered forklifts.

Basically I am trying to get a feel for the size of the industry, the landscape and the key factors impacting the success and value of battery powered forklifts. I have looked at few IBIS reports but would love if anyone had a two cents to contribute or could put me to any sources they use for the latest market info.

Thanks, appreciate any and all contributions!
