By Technology- Segment Analysis 
Driver assistance is growing at a highest CAGR of 15.7% in the forecast period. Driver assistance systems and collision awareness systems immediately detects the risk if the vehicle comes close to personnel, infrastructure or other vehicles and also helps the drivers to carry out difficult and monotonous tasks effectively and efficiently. Fork-lift truck manufacturers have developed driver assistance systems (DAS) that are intended to reduce substantially the risk of the truck tipping over to the side. Industrial trucks and forklifts particularly rely on driver assistance systems that increase convenience at work while minimizing the risk of accidents. This systems for forklifts are a sensible retrofitting option to create more protection on location. Especially where there are several drivers with forklifts on the road at the same time, as well as other people who are in the halls or zones. With the rapid advancements in IoT, several companies have been developing driving assistance system with advanced features. For instance, SICK sensor intelligence have developed advanced Driver assistance systems and collision awareness systems to support drivers in critical situations and immediately detects the risk if the vehicle comes close to personnel, infrastructure or other vehicles. Similarly, STILL has developed driver assistance systems to support the driver in certain situations by elevating the degree of automation by assuming individual tasks freeing the operator respectively. Hence these advancements are analysed to drive the market for Forklift IoT solutions in the forecast period 2020-2025 

By Industry Vertical - Segment Analysis
Pharmaceutical sector is growing at a CAGR of 15.4% in the forecast period. As IoT applications for supply chain management have become popular investment areas the pharmaceutical industry.  Moreover inventory tracking and maintenance, along with forklift utilization tracking is the major application that is set to drive ioT in the pharmaceutical sector. Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly seeking areas for improvement within their operations and are turning to technology to boost efficiencies and reduce costs. This has led to deployment of IoT solutions such as embedded sensor packs on forklifts to track their location and utilization as well as other applications across the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector. The adoption of this solution effectively manages and reports on vehicle and operator performance while reducing operational costs and improving warehouse productivity. Forklift IoT is typically adopted for safety applications in healthcare and pharmaceutical sector through a. motion sensor connected to a forklift. The motion sensor can detect the speed in relation to its proximity to a bin, send the information to the computer, analyze it, and issue a command to the forklift to either slow down, alert the driver, and/or block the movement


By Geography - Segment Analysis
