The scissor lift market accounted for US $3,030 Million in 2020 with a considerable CAGR of 6.8% throughout the forecast period from 2021 to 2028.
A scissor lift, also known as amobile elevated work platform (MEWP) or aerial work platform (AWP),is a motorized vehicle utilized for moving personnel and equipment to inaccessible areas, often at a height. These lifts are trendy model of aerial platform lift which is used for interior work such as hanging signs, ceiling construction and maintenance projects among others. Scissor lifts often only reach as high as 20 – 50 feet and have a lower platform height than a boom lift.In addition, it offers a safe and reliable environment for workers to complete their projects. However,these lifts are mostly used in construction, irrigation, urban infrastructures, mining operations, airports, railways, and ports construction. Furthermore, increasing the adoption of scissor lifts due to safety concerns will drive the market of scissor lifts and is expected to reach value of US$5,075 million in 2028.

Market Segmentation
Thescissor liftmarket is segmented based on, engine type, lift height, end-user and region.
Market by Engine Type
- Electric Scissor Lift
- Engine Powered Lift
By the engine type segment, the electric scissor lift segment leads the market share in 2020 is expected to exhibit lucrative growth of the market asthese lifts areoften used as an indoor aerial work platform like accessing a high storage rack, working in a loading beam, replacing a light bulb etc. In addition, most electric scissor lifts have a narrow platform that allows workers to secure space in retail stores and warehouses. Also, this is less expensive as compared others lift such as gas-powered lifts. Furthermore, the flexibility and usability make electric lifts an ideal replacement for traditional ladders in various workplaces.
Market Lift Height
- Less than 10 Meters
- 10 Meters to 20 Meters
- More than 20 Meters
Based on lift height segment, less than 10 meters dominates the market share and expected to grow over the forecast period, owing tosize compatibility, low cost as compared to otherslift sizes. In addition, less than 10 meters lift size are usually ideal for usage in cramped and tight spaces. Also, these sizes are usually used for indoor constructions such as access the ductwork of buildings, interior roofs, window repairing or washing and other maintenance works. Furthermore, small size scissor lift i.e less than 10 meters are used for small indoor job sites and generally runs on electricity.
Market by End-User
- Construction Industry
- Retail Storage & Warehouse
- Transportation
- Logistics
Based on end-user segment,the construction industryhas advanced rate of scissor lift usageand projected to expand over the forthcoming years, owing tothe adoption of advanced technologies in construction industry in North America and Asia Pacific.
Regional Overview
North America region contributed for the largest global Scissor Lift market share in 2020
Of all the regions, North America has the largest market share in 2020, with increasing investment in infrastructure development expected to be a key factor for region's growing market over the forecast period. In addition, the future implementation of American National Standards Institute(ANSI) standardsfor construction products and safety is the major reason for supporting the potential growth of the region.
