Dublin, Jan. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Truck Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2020-2030F" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Truck Market was valued at USD 0.85 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.15 trillion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 5.25%.

The global truck market is poised for significant growth, driven by several key factors that reflect the changing dynamics of transportation and logistics. One of the primary growth drivers is the rising demand for freight transportation, fuelled by the expansion of e-commerce and the globalization of supply chains.

As businesses increasingly rely on efficient logistics solutions to meet consumer demands, the need for robust trucking operations has intensified. Additionally, technological advancements, such as telematics, route optimization software, and electronic logging devices (ELDs), enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs, further supporting market growth. The shift toward electric and hybrid trucks is also gaining momentum, driven by stringent emissions regulations and a growing emphasis on sustainability within the transportation sector.

Several trends are shaping the global truck market, notably the increasing focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility. Truck manufacturers are investing heavily in developing electric and alternative fuel vehicles to meet regulatory standards and consumer expectations. This trend is not only aimed at reducing carbon emissions but also at addressing the rising fuel costs and operational expenses faced by fleet operators. Advancements in autonomous driving technology are emerging as a transformative force in the trucking industry, promising to enhance safety, reduce labour costs, and improve efficiency. The integration of smart technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT) applications, is also enabling real-time tracking and monitoring of cargo, optimizing supply chain operations, and enhancing overall fleet management.

While the global truck market presents numerous opportunities, it also faces challenges that could impact growth. One significant challenge is the rising cost of raw materials, which can lead to increased production expenses for manufacturers. The industry is grappling with a shortage of skilled drivers, exacerbated by the aging workforce and a lack of new entrants into the profession. This shortage can hinder operational efficiency and limit the capacity of logistics providers to meet growing demand. The regulatory landscape is continuously evolving, with new emissions and safety regulations being implemented globally, requiring companies to adapt quickly to remain compliant. Addressing these challenges while capitalizing on growth opportunities will be crucial for stakeholders in the global truck market as they navigate the complexities of an increasingly competitive and dynamic industry.

Regional Insights

North America dominates the global truck sector, primarily due to its robust logistics infrastructure, high demand for freight transport, and a well-established trucking culture. The United States, in particular, plays a crucial role, accounting for a significant portion of the market share. The extensive highway network in North America facilitates efficient transportation, enabling trucks to serve vast geographic areas effectively.
