By Product Type Analysis

Electric segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period

The electric segment will grow rapidly, owing to rising innovations in the development of electric wheelbarrows in the marketplace. The growing demand for higher efficiency in construction and operations is encouraging people to equip themselves with electric wheelbarrows as they do not require manual labor, leading to lower labor costs for contractors.

The manual segment led the industry market with a substantial revenue share in 2023, largely attributable to the higher rate of familiarity with traditional wheelbarrows and the lower chance of failures, promoting the safety of handled equipment in multiple applications.

By Material Analysis

Plastic segment accounted for the largest market share in 2023

The plastic segment accounted for the largest market share in 2023 and is likely to retain its position throughout the wheelbarrow market forecast period. The growth of the segment can be attributable to its lightweight design and resistance to corrosion, which is the major problem associated with the steel wheelbarrow.

The steel segment is expected to grow at a sustainable rate over the next few years on account of the rapid increase in demand for more durable and strong wheelbarrows in construction and gardening activities.

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 revenue share 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 over the forecast period

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 wheelbarrow market growth during the study period.

By Distribution Channel Analysis

Offline segment held the higher revenue over online stores

The offline distribution channel accounted for the highest revenue share in 2023 and is anticipated to boost its growth in the forecast period owing to personalized assistance. As supermarkets, specialty stores, and other retail stores enable people to personally see and touch the equipment, compared to online stores, there will be a significant rise in the consumption of wheelbarrows through the offline medium in the coming years.

However, the rising evolution of e-commerce portals with enhanced accessibility to a wide range of products is anticipated to witness significant growth in the coming years. The growing rate of offers offered by the online distribution channels is likely to retain new sales in the study period.
