Key Highlights
The trucks market includes sales/registration of light trucks, and medium and heavy trucks.

The US trucks market had total revenues of $300.8bn in 2016, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1% between 2012 and 2016.

Fluctuating manufacturing output in the US and subsequent lower volume in freight has reduced demand for trucks as a means for transportation in the US. Many trucking companies in the US are adopting a wait and see approach before they decide to order new trucks. Swedish trucking giant has subsequently reported a 12.4% decline in profits in 2016, which it said was “primarily an effect of the slowdown in the North American truck market”.

Economic uncertainty has pushed many trucking companies in hesitancy with regards to purchasing more trucks. Orders for new heavy trucks for example fell by around 37% in December 2016 as compared to the same month in the preceding year. Whilst newly elected US President Donald Trump has announced interest in investing in US infrastructure in the coming years (which would boost the trucks market), trucking companies are as of yet waiting to see whether these promises materialize. Therefore growth in the US trucks market has almost halved in 2016 as compared to 2015.
