Global Chain Type Electric Hoist Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Chain Type Electric Hoist market size is predicted to grow from US$ 621 million in 2025 to US$ 958 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2026 to 2032.
In 2025, global Chain Type Electric Hoist production reached approximately 140k units, with an average global market price of around US$ 4500 per unit.
A chain type electric hoist is a compact lifting device that uses a load chain as the lifting medium. A motor and gear reducer drive a chain wheel (sprocket) to raise/lower loads, typically integrated with a brake, upper/lower limit switches, hooks/rigging, and pendant or wireless controls. It is widely used for workshop lifting, assembly handling, maintenance, and line-side material movement. Compared with wire-rope hoists, chain hoists are often favored for compactness, flexible installation, precise positioning, and easier maintenance, especially in short-stroke, high-cycle operations.
Upstream inputs include key metals and components: alloy steel and heat treatment for load chains, gear/bearing steels, brake friction materials, electrical steel and copper for motors, plus electrical parts (contactors, relays, encoders/limit switches, optional VFDs) and structural parts (cast/forged components, sheet metal, coating). Midstream hoist makers design, manufacture, assemble, and test the complete unit (motor–gear matching, brake/limit safety, chain–sprocket durability, IP protection, and controls), offering single-/two-speed or VFD variable-speed solutions. Downstream usage spans manufacturing workshops, warehousing/logistics, MEP installation, stage entertainment rigging, and wind/power maintenance. Representative upstream ecosystems include SKF/NSK (bearings), Nidec/WEG (motor ecosystem), and Schneider Electric/Siemens (LV & drives ecosystem); downstream users include automotive/parts plants, battery/electronics factories, equipment manufacturers, and maintenance/installation service providers.
The development prospects of chain electric hoists may be affected by many factors, including technological progress, market demand, policies and regulations, etc. In the future, with the continuous development of industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing technology, chain electric hoists are expected to further improve their work efficiency and performance to meet more complex and diverse application needs.
The chain electric hoist market is characterized by stable, mature demand alongside a shift toward higher-spec upgrades. In workshops, maintenance, and station-based handling, chain hoists remain a standard lifting tool thanks to compactness, flexible installation, and serviceability. The competitive focus is moving beyond basic lifting capacity toward safety, uptime, and integration—such as VFD-based smoother motion and better positioning, enhanced brake/limit redundancy, stronger IP protection and durability, and packaged solutions with trolleys, light crane systems, custom tooling, and maintenance/inspection workflows. Key drivers include the rise of flexible manufacturing and higher-cycle, low-impact material handling needs, standardized procurement driven by maintenance outsourcing, and stricter safety compliance encouraging replacement of legacy units. Headwinds include price pressure from product commoditization, growing customer sensitivity to total cost of ownership (energy, maintenance, downtime), and substitution in some applications by more integrated light crane systems, smart handling equipment, or specialized gripping solutions. Overall, chain electric hoists will retain a solid base in general lifting while upgrading toward “higher duty class + safer controls + system-level delivery,” favoring suppliers with proven reliability validation, certification capability, and strong service channels.
