ASEAN Aerial Work Platform Market to Reach USD 1,423.7 Million by 2035, Driving New Growth Opportunities for Manufacturers

The ASEAN aerial work platform (AWP) market is projected to hit USD 1,423.7 million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 8.2%, fueled by infrastructure, e-commerce, and sustainability initiatives.
Published 16 September 2025

The ASEAN aerial work platform (AWP) industry is entering a period of rapid expansion, with the market expected to achieve an estimated valuation of USD 1,423.7 million by 2035 at a robust CAGR of 8.2%. This momentum is being shaped by infrastructure development, urbanization, safety regulations, and the region’s increasing commitment to green technologies.

For manufacturers, this growth wave creates new opportunities to address long-standing industry challenges while positioning themselves as critical enablers of ASEAN’s modernization.

Infrastructure and Smart Cities Powering Equipment Demand

From Indonesia’s new capital city of Nusantara to Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor, large-scale infrastructure programs are accelerating AWP adoption. Mega projects in high-speed rail, airports, and metro construction require versatile boom lifts and scissor lifts capable of operating in diverse and rugged environments.

Simultaneously, smart city initiatives in Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam are reshaping urban landscapes. Compact, electrically powered AWPs are emerging as the preferred solution for maintenance, refurbishment, and construction within densely populated environments. Manufacturers equipped to deliver energy-efficient and space-optimized platforms will be at the forefront of these projects.

Warehousing and Logistics Transforming Equipment Utilization

The rise of e-commerce has created new demand in warehousing and logistics, a sector now representing 25% of AWP applications. With fulfillment centers and last-mile hubs expanding rapidly in Malaysia and Thailand, vertical mast lifts and compact scissor lifts are in high demand. These platforms allow safe, efficient operation in narrow aisles and confined warehouse layouts.

For equipment manufacturers, this presents an opportunity to design platforms with a focus on maneuverability, compact design, and electrification—directly addressing the operational needs of the logistics sector.

Rising Safety Standards Reshaping Industry Practices

Historically, ASEAN industries relied heavily on scaffolding for elevated work, often compromising worker safety. This is changing rapidly. Regulatory reforms in countries such as Singapore and Malaysia are pushing industries to adopt AWPs with enhanced safety features, including anti-entrapment systems and fall protection devices.

Manufacturers who prioritize safety compliance and innovative safety features will not only meet regulatory standards but also gain competitive advantage as industries shift toward more advanced solutions.

Electrification Driving the Future of AWP Adoption

With ASEAN governments aligning with sustainability goals under the Paris Agreement, demand for electric and hybrid aerial work platforms is accelerating. These AWPs offer reduced emissions and noise levels, making them ideal for urban environments where environmental and regulatory pressures are strongest.

Recent product launches, such as Sinoboom’s all-electric boom lift and Skyjack’s hybrid platform, reflect the market’s pivot toward eco-friendly solutions. Manufacturers who expand their electric and hybrid portfolios are poised to capture long-term growth while aligning with regional environmental priorities.

Key Market Segments Driving Adoption

The construction sector remains the single largest driver, representing 50% of the market, supported by ongoing infrastructure investment and urban redevelopment. Warehousing and logistics, at 25% market share, are fueled by e-commerce and industrial parks, while retail and hospitality contribute 15%, largely through maintenance and refurbishment projects in malls, airports, and hotels.

By product type, boom lifts account for the largest share at 38%, favored in large infrastructure projects for their adaptability to rugged terrains. Scissor lifts, growing at a CAGR of 7.2%, are widely adopted in urban and warehouse settings, while vertical mast lifts continue to gain traction in retail and hospitality environments.

Competitive Landscape and Manufacturer Positioning

The ASEAN AWP market is fragmented yet competitive, offering opportunities for both established leaders and innovative newcomers.

Global manufacturers such as JLG Industries, Genie, and Skyjack currently hold 45% of the market, leveraging advanced product lines and extensive dealer networks. Regional manufacturers, including Sinoboom and Mantall Heavy Industry, capture 35% by offering cost-effective solutions tailored to developing economies. Emerging innovators, often local firms, account for 20% of the market by focusing on eco-friendly and safety-compliant platforms.

For manufacturers, strategic positioning will depend on balancing affordability with advanced features, while ensuring strong aftersales support and adaptability to localized market needs.

Policy Developments and Industry Milestones

Recent developments underscore the pace of innovation across ASEAN. Genie’s compact scissor lift for urban sites, Sinoboom’s electric boom lift for warehouses, and Skyjack’s hybrid urban maintenance platform demonstrate the market’s shift toward sustainable, compact, and rental-friendly solutions. Strategic partnerships, such as JLG’s expansion in Thailand, highlight the growing importance of rental models to cater to SMEs and contractors seeking cost-effective options.
