세미 트레일러 시장 예측(-2030년) : 유형, 재료, 톤수, 최종사용자, 지역별 세계 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Semi-Trailer Market is accounted for $36.7 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $61.3 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period. A semi-trailer is a type of trailer that is typically pulled by a truck or tractor unit and is designed to carry freight or goods. Unlike a full trailer, which has front and rear axles and is pulled by a hitch connected to a vehicle, a semi-trailer has only rear axles and is attached to the tractor unit using a fifth wheel coupling. Semi-trailers are commonly used in the transportation industry for moving large quantities of cargo over long distances. They come in various sizes and configurations, including flatbeds, refrigerated trailers (reefers), dry vans, tankers, and specialized trailers for carrying specific types of goods like automobiles or livestock.

According to Eurostat, over 75% of inland cargo transports within the European Union, i.e., about 1,750 billion metric ton-kilometer (tkm), travel by road. In some European territories, this percentage is as high as 90%, or even more.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing reliance on road transportation

The market is witnessing a significant shift towards increased reliance on road transportation. This trend is primarily driven by several factors such as improved road infrastructure, flexible delivery schedules, and cost-effectiveness compared to other modes like rail or sea transport. Additionally, advancements in technology have led to more efficient and reliable semi-trailers, further boosting their popularity among businesses seeking streamlined logistics solutions.

Restraint:

Focus on lightweight trailers

Lightweight trailers face several challenges in the semi-trailer market. Balancing weight reduction with structural integrity is crucial, as lighter materials can compromise durability. Cost considerations play a role, as advanced materials can be expensive to manufacture and repair. Regulatory standards and safety requirements often necessitate specific engineering solutions for lightweight trailers. These challenges collectively impact the adoption and competitiveness of lightweight trailers in the semi-trailer market.

Opportunity:

Demand for cold chain products

The demand for cold chain products in the semi-trailer market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing need for temperature-sensitive transportation. Industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, and healthcare rely heavily on cold chain logistics to maintain product integrity. This trend is driving the adoption of specialized semi-trailers equipped with advanced refrigeration systems and temperature monitoring technologies, catering to the rising demand for efficient and reliable cold chain solutions.

Threat:

Infrastructure issues

Inadequate transportation routes and congestion at ports hinder timely deliveries, leading to increased costs and supply chain disruptions. Insufficient storage facilities further exacerbate these issues, limiting inventory management capabilities. Additionally, outdated or insufficiently equipped warehouses struggle to handle the volume and variety of trailers, impacting overall efficiency and customer satisfaction. Addressing these infrastructure gaps is crucial for the sustained growth and competitiveness of the market.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the semi-trailer market, causing disruptions in production, supply chains, and demand. Lockdowns and restrictions led to decreased manufacturing output and delayed deliveries. Fluctuating raw material prices also added to the challenges, affecting profit margins. However, the market showed resilience with a shift in focus towards essential goods transportation. Increased e-commerce activities also boosted demand for logistics, driving some recovery.

The lowboy trailers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The lowboy trailers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period. Their low deck height and detachable gooseneck design make them ideal for hauling tall equipment like construction machinery, industrial components, and large vehicles. Lowboys offer enhanced stability and easier loading/unloading, making them preferred for specialized transportation needs. With advancements in materials and design, modern lowboy trailers ensure efficient and safe transportation of bulky cargo, contributing significantly to the logistics industry.

The agriculture segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The agriculture segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. These trailers offer high load capacity, durability, and flexibility in handling various crops and equipment. Advancements in trailer design, such as adjustable height and improved suspension systems, further enhance their suitability for agricultural use. Additionally, the adoption of technology like GPS tracking and telematics improves efficiency and safety in farm-to-market transportation, driving the growth of this market segment.

Region with largest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period driven by the region's vast landmass, extensive road networks, and strong demand for freight transportation. The industry has seen significant technological advancements, such as the integration of telematics for fleet management, aerodynamic designs to improve fuel efficiency, and safety features like collision mitigation systems and trailer tracking.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest CAGR over the forecast period driven by increasing demand for efficient transportation solutions. Ongoing infrastructure projects, including road construction, highways, ports, and logistics parks, are driving the demand for heavy-duty and specialized semi-trailers. Stringent emission norms and regulations promoting safer and more fuel-efficient vehicles have also influenced the market, with manufacturers focusing on developing technologically advanced semi-trailers.
