Heavy Trucks Global Market Report 2021: COVID 19 Impact And Recovery To 2030

The heavy trucks market consists of sales of heavy trucks and related services by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that produce complete heavy trucks and vehicles for the purpose of transporting bulk goods. Only goods and services traded between entities or sold to end consumers are included.

The global heavy trucks market is expected to grow from $201.52 billion in 2020 to $221.85 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $330.32 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 10.5%.

The heavy trucks market covered in this report is segmented by type into class 5; class 6; class 7; class 8.

Growth in the demand for heavy trucks from end-users such as in construction, mining and other sectors is contributing to the growth of heavy trucks manufacturing market. According to executives of leading truck makers, increase in construction activities boosted the sales of tipper trucks, concrete mixers and other heavy vehicles. Also the 2019 annual report from the American Trucking Association indicated that the revenue of the trucking industry was reported to be $796.7 billion in 2018, little more than $700.1 billion in 2017. In June 2019, around 344,000 class 8 trucks were sold in the American market. Increase in demand for heavy trucks from the end users is expected to drive the heavy truck market in the forecast period.

COVID-19 outbreak across the globe has impacted the production and demand for heavy trucks and this is expected to restrain the heavy trucks market during the forecast period. The pandemic has led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and closures of several manufacturing units in order to contain the disease. Such lockdown norm has led to supply chain disruptions across several industries including heavy trucks manufacturing industries. According to S&P Global Inc., a financial information and analytics company indicated that global sales of heavy duty trucks will decline by 20% to 30% in 2020 due to COVID-19 impact. In 2019, 2.3 million units were sold which declined to 1.7 million units in 2020, further the sales recovery is expected by 10% by 2021. Therefore, COVID-19 outbreak is a major restraining factor which is expected to impact the growth of heavy trucks market negatively.

Vehicles fitted with advanced driver-assistive technologies and safety features are new trends in the heavy trucks market. Advanced driver-assistive technologies include features like Collision Mitigation System (CMS) and a Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) aiming to reduce road accidents and increase vehicle safety. In 2018, TATA Motors collaborated with WABCO India to provide advanced driver-assistive technologies in their commercial vehicles. TATA Motors became first Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) that provided Collision Mitigation System (CMS) and Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) solutions for trucks. Benefits that are obtained from these technologies include warning of movement of vehicles in poor visibility conditions, avoiding rear-end collisions, recognizing lane marking and helping drivers in staying in road lanes.

In March 2019, Daimler Trucks, a German multinational automotive corporation and manufacturer of heavy and medium trucks, acquired Torc Robotics, pioneer in autonomous driving, to create a technology powerhouse for automated trucks, for an undisclosed amount.
