Battery recycling has become a hot topic in recent years: ▶️ The retirement of the first batch of power batteries is imminent, after a rapid expansion of the EV market over the past few years ▶️ A surge in li-ion battery production has led to an increase in scrap materials from the production line. How are li-ion raw battery materials impacting the battery recycling market? While fluctuations in raw material prices affect investments – when prices decline, projects are delayed – longer term, regulations for battery recycling as well as raw material demand will drive growth. Read our latest insight: https://lnkd.in/e3qaj-8g Our Li-Ion Battery Recycling & Recycling Equipment report is the latest topic in our extensive research into battery and manufacturing.

China’s construction machinery industry is transitioning toward High-end, Intelligence, Green, and Globalization - these are trends that were fully demonstrated at this year's bauma CHINA exhibition. Apart from electrification of machinery, remote-controlled and autonomous equipment are increasingly deployed in enclosed and fixed-route environments such as mines and ports. Chinese companies are also highly committed to exploring overseas market opportunities, and component suppliers are using their technical know-how to establish overseas production bases to co-operate with the overseas expansion of construction machinery OEMs. These are just some of the key findings from our analysts who attended this year’s Bauma tradeshow in Shanghai.

We recently lowered our forecast projections for the mobile robots market - what are the reasons behind this?   A series of macro-economic factors is impacting demand, such as how governments are struggling with the aftermath of the pandemic, China continuing to experience tough market conditions and the automotive sector being hit by a slow uptake in electric vehicles.   Despite this, we remain optimistic for long term growth of the market, with labor shortages and rising labor costs among others driving growth.   Read our latest insight here: https://lnkd.in/eif4rkB3

🎤 How Chinese OEMs threaten Caterpillar, Komatsu and others Our latest research is projecting the worldwide haul/dump truck market to reach 45,600 units in 2024, and it is growing. Almost half of haul/dump trucks are registered in China, and Chinese companies are increasingly threatening to steal global market share from the leading brands. Two main factors are making Chinese OEMs a threat to the market leaders: the gaining popularity of wide-body dump trucks, and developments in electrification. Jamie Fox shares his insights in his latest article: https://lnkd.in/dXs6BgN3 Our new tradeshow report from bauma CHINA covers further key findings and insights into current trends of the Chinese construction equipment market.

With the proposed increase in tariffs by president-elect Donald Trump, how do we anticipate this to affect the forklift market?   ▶️ Companies will likely ramp up import orders, leading to a surge in orders before the tariffs are implemented. ▶️ Chinese manufacturers and retailers are investing in warehousing space, especially around key US ports. ▶️ Chinese manufacturers are also overstocking to avoid tariffs in the short term.
