Growth Drivers

• Growth in infrastructure development is likely to fuel the market's growth.

Both emerging and established economies around the globe are making investments to modernize their infrastructure, including road and air networks. This results in the requirement of heavy-duty vehicles to dump and carry loads. And such a growing demand for heavy-duty vehicles due to the exponential growth in global infrastructure development is likely to expedite the growth of the global Heavy Duty Trucks Market.

Also, the ease in availability of credit and financing options is likely to support the growth trajectory of the global market. Government initiatives and policies further strengthen the market's capitalists and investors. For instance, the government of India has invested around $1.4 trillion until 2025 for infrastructure development. Moreover, the high demand for these heavy-duty trucks in semi-rural and rural areas in emerging economies is another prominent factor fueling the growth of the global market. Also, the growing advancements in research and technology are likely to contribute heavily to the growth of the global market.

Restraints

• The high cost of heavy-duty trucks is likely to hamper the growth of the global market.

High consumer demand refers to a high-profit probability. And many of these model trucks are offered to large enterprises and commercial fleets, which are uncommonly high-end clients. Therefore, the manufacturers of these heavy trucks demand high prices for these vehicles.

Opportunities

• Surging demand for 400 HP- 500 HP trucks is likely to offer lucrative opportunities in the global market.

The 400 HP to 500 HP segment is likely to rise with a 7% growth rate during the forecast period due to the growing speed limits on interstate highways. The engines of these tracks bear high torque-producing capacity, which helps maintain smooth driving with heavier loads. Therefore, it is likely to offer many new opportunities in the global Heavy Duty Trucks Market in the years to come.

Challenges

• Growing carbon emission levels is a major challenge in the global market.

The surging demand for heavy-duty trucks all across the globe is contributing to the increasing carbon emission levels owing to the high consumption of diesel fuel. Diesel produces three times more carbon emissions when compared to gasoline. Therefore, it is likely to slow down the growth of the global heavy truck industry.

Segmentation Analysis

The global Heavy Duty Trucks Market can be segmented on the basis of tonnage type, propulsion, application, class, and region.

On the basis of tonnage type, the market can be segmented into 10 to 15 metric and more than 15 metric tons. The segment with more than 15 metric-ton trucks dominates the global market due to its ability to bear heavy loads.
