Materials handling associations such as MHEDA and UKMHA have offered their perspective on what the industry can expect for 2022 in a special report by Forkliftaction News.
The report notes the continuing impact of COVID-19 on manufacturing operations, the supply chain and human resources but suggests that demand is expected to stay strong this year:
“Hopefully, most of the challenges surrounding COVID will subside, although it’s still unclear (at the time of this writing) what will happen with potential vaccine mandates. By all accounts, business is expected to be robust and demand for materials handling products and services will continue to increase,” says MHEDA CEO Liz Richards.
Within the report Forkliftaction also asks association representatives to provide insight into emerging trends.
