Jakarta, Indonesia – May 22, 2026 – AISUN, a leading provider of industrial lithium battery and smart charging solutions, successfully concluded its participation in Forklift Indonesia 2026, ASEAN’s largest material handling and logistics exhibition, held at JIEXPO Kemayoran, Jakarta from May 20–22, 2026.
At Booth D2 B4-03, AISUN showcased its latest lithium battery charging systems for electric forklifts, attracting strong interest from distributors, OEM partners, and logistics operators across Southeast Asia.
Strong Demand for Lithium-Based Forklift Charging Solutions
During the exhibition, AISUN presented its advanced chargers designed specifically for industrial lithium battery systems, offering:
• High-efficiency fast charging
• Intelligent BMS CAN communication
• Stable performance in high-intensity operations
• Smart energy management for modern warehouses
The strong engagement from visitors reflects a broader market shift toward lithium-powered material handling equipment, driven by efficiency and sustainability requirements.
Global Market Data Confirms Lithium Acceleration
Recent industry data highlights the rapid growth of lithium forklift solutions:
• The global electric forklift market reached approximately USD 45.0 billion in 2023
• The lithium forklift-related market is estimated at ~USD 2.29 billion in 2024, projected to grow to ~USD 5.8 billion by 2035
• Broader lithium forklift battery systems and replacement market reached approximately USD 26.2 billion in 2024
These figures confirm that lithium forklifts are already a multi-billion-dollar segment, with a significantly higher growth rate than the overall forklift market.
Lithium Penetration Entering a Critical Inflection Point
Lithium adoption is accelerating rapidly across global markets:
• ~32% penetration in 2024
• Expected to exceed 50% around 2026
• Projected to reach ~70% by 2034
• Up to 83% of new electric forklifts expected to use lithium batteries by 2034
This signals that the industry is entering a “Lithium Dominance Phase” (2025–2030), where lithium becomes the default choice for new electric forklifts.
Regional Adoption Trends: ASEAN Emerging as a Growth Market
Lithium forklift penetration varies by region, highlighting strong growth potential in Southeast Asia:
• China / Asia-Pacific: 40%–55%
Fastest adoption globally, driven by OEMs and policy support
• North America: 30%–45%
Mature adoption in warehousing and high-throughput logistics
• Europe: 25%–40%
Driven by ESG goals and carbon neutrality policies
• Southeast Asia / India: 10%–25%
Rapidly growing, especially in export-oriented manufacturing
• Latin America / Middle East / Africa: 5%–15%
Early-stage adoption with strong future potential
As a key ASEAN market, Indonesia is positioned for accelerated lithium adoption, driven by logistics expansion and industrial modernization.
Industry Trends Reinforce Lithium-First Strategy
The exhibition also highlighted several key trends shaping the future of material handling:
• Transition toward lithium-only forklift fleets
• Increasing use of opportunity charging for 24/7 operations
• Growing demand for smart, connected charging systems
• Strong focus on energy efficiency and carbon reduction
AISUN’s exclusive focus on lithium battery and charging technologies aligns directly with these long-term industry trends.
Strengthening AISUN’s Position in Southeast Asia
AISUN’s successful participation reinforces its commitment to the ASEAN market, where demand for reliable lithium battery and charging solutions continues to grow.
“The strong interest we received confirms that the market is rapidly shifting toward lithium technologies,” said an AISUN representative. “We are well-positioned to support this transition with our specialized lithium battery and smart charging solutions.”
Next Stop: Power2Drive Europe 2026
Following its successful showcase in Indonesia, AISUN will continue its global exhibition journey by participating in Power2Drive Europe 2026, one of the leading international exhibitions for EV charging and energy solutions.
• Event: Power2Drive Europe 2026
• Date: June 23–25, 2026
• Location: Messe München, Germany
• Booth: Hall B6.136
At the event, AISUN will present its latest innovations in EV charging systems and industrial lithium battery solutions, including AC and DC EV chargers, portable charging solutions, and advanced forklift battery chargers.
Industry professionals and partners attending the exhibition are warmly invited to visit AISUN’s booth to explore cutting-edge technologies and discuss future cooperation opportunities.
