• The market is growing at a CAGR of 8.8%.

The medium & heavy commercial vehicles or MHCVs are the lifeblood of modern economies as they represent major arteries through which goods, people, and materials move over vast distances. Colossal in the transport sector, these trucks, buses, and construction equipment play a significant role in the smooth functioning of supply chains, public transport systems, and infrastructure development. Trucks, the workhorses of commerce, can be found in many diversified types. Rigid trucks have a single rigid frame suited to heavy applications, such as construction and bulk hauls. Rising infrastructure development globally to augment market expansion.

Key Takeaways:

• North America is dominating the market. The region’s growth is attributed to robust transportation infrastructure in the region.
• Asia Pacific is expected to experience rapid growth in the market owing to the rising infrastructure development and urbanization.

Surging Economic Growth to Propel Market Expansion

• A strong economy powers more industry, trade, and construction, increasing demand for commercial vehicles. Growing business and increasing consumer spending will raise demands for trucks, buses, and construction equipment by businesses seeking practical solutions to varied transportation problems. Moreover, an increase in disposable income is usually an accompanying factor of economic growth, which means that more consumer spending will occur, leading to higher demand for goods and services. Since this raises the activity level within an economy, more goods are to be moved, hence a corresponding increase in the market for commercial vehicles. Second, economic growth often walks hand in hand with infrastructure development, and establishing roads, extending ports, and laying railway networks involve constant movements of material and workers to construct those works, hence demanding a large fleet of commercial vehicles.

Rising Infrastructure Development to Drive Market Growth Globally

• It would mean road network expansion, additions to ports, and logistic hubs, all needing correspondingly strong fleets of commercial vehicles for easier conveyance. The more countries invest in their infrastructure, the greater the demand for heavy-duty trucks, construction equipment, and special vehicles. Better infrastructure also facilitates the movement of goods and people, thus increasing the volumes moved and boosting the volumes associated with commercial vehicles. For example, new highways and expressways could raise long-haul transportation, raising demands for tractor-trailers and other long-haul vehicle types.

Restraints:

High Fuel Costs May Restrain Market Growth Globally

• Fuel cost includes some of the principal components that increase the operation cost of commercial vehicle owners/operators. Accordingly, any change in fuel prices will directly affect the overall cost of transportation and demand for commercial vehicles. Fuel raises the cost of running any commercial vehicle and reduces the profit margins of transporters proportionately. This could finally result in reduced demand for new commercial vehicles as operators look to reduce their fleets and save fuel. Expensive fuel could benefit alternative fuel and hybrid lorries, shifting demand away from traditional diesel-powered commercial vehicles.

Opportunities:

Electrification and Alternative Fuels and Autonomous Vehicles Adoption to Boost Future Opportunities

• The quest for sustainability in transport is reflected in the rapidly rising demand for electric and alternative fuel-based commercial vehicles. This opens ways for vehicle manufacturers to develop and commercialize zero- and low-emission vehicles. Besides, developing better batteries, charging infrastructure, and hydrogen fuel cell systems would become the mainstay of successfully adopting such cars.

Autonomous driving technology is one area with huge potential for MHCVs. Self-driving trucks and buses hold a definite potential to enhance safety, efficiency, and productivity. However, to really break into the scene, there are technical hurdles that need to be overcome as the regulatory and social challenges of increasing public acceptance of autonomous commercial vehicles.

The medium & heavy commercial vehicles market is segmented into vehicle type, gross vehicle weight, application, and region.

Vehicle Type:

By vehicle type, the market is divided into trucks, buses, and construction & mining equipment. The trucks segment is holding the dominant medium & heavy commercial vehicles market share owing to the use of such vehicles for intense applications, such as bulk haulage of materials and construction work.

Gross Vehicle Weight:

The market is bifurcated into medium commercial vehicles (MCVs) and heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) under the gross vehicle weight segment. The heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) segment is expected to dominate the market. The segment’s growth is attributed to their wide usage, especially for construction, long-haul transportation, and mining.

Application:

On the basis of application, the market is segmented into logistics & transportation, construction & mining, passenger transportation, and defense & government. The logistics & transportation segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The segment’s expansion is attributed to rapid growth in e-commerce driving demand for last-mile delivery solutions globally.

Region:

Based on geography, the medium & heavy commercial vehicles market is studied across North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.

• North America represents a mature market for medium and heavy commercial vehicles driven by a robust transportation infrastructure and a strong focus on long-haul transportation. The economies in this region rely heavily on logistics efficiency and hence require trucks, trailers, and buses continuously. The U.S. forms the bulk of the market due to its huge commercial vehicle fleet, which sustains its vast trade network. Canada also contributes significantly to the regional market due to its resource-based economy and cross-border trade with the U.S. markets.

Asia Pacific MHCV market is growing rapidly due to increasing urbanization, infrastructure development, and e-commerce activities. Countries like China and India would naturally generate enormous demand for trucks, buses, and construction equipment. The search for cost-effective solutions in the region has pressured the manufacturers to outcompete one another, leading to technological advancement and product diversification.
