The global Service Truck Bodies market was valued at USD 1,369.3 million in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 2,201.1 million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period.
Service truck bodies are utility bodies with specific characteristics designed to meet the demand for service-related enterprises, such as plumbing, construction, and electrical services. These bodies are mounted on the back of a truck chassis and are frequently designed to fit the user's particular tools and equipment.
A service body assists drivers to compartmentalize what they need each day, which saves them time and energy. High demand for lightweight service trucks in the construction and mining industries fuels the market. Increasing demand for service trucks across the logistics and transportation sector, owing to the immense growth of the e-commerce industry, is driving the market.
Furthermore, growing demand for passenger automobiles, ongoing technological developments, and rising safety concerns are fueling the market. However, lack of availability of raw materials such as aluminum alloy plates and steel plates due to their scarcity, which is hampering the market.
The demand for service truck bodies is driven by rising construction activities around the globe and a surge in government investments in infrastructure development projects. These infrastructure development projects and the construction sector require special-purpose service trucks to transport heavy equipment and machinery.
According to the Asian Development Bank Report, infrastructure development project investments in developing countries are expected to reach 22.6 trillion by 2030 in Asia Pacific countries. The infrastructure investments in the Asia Pacific countries such as India, China, and ASEAN countries are growing with around USD 1.5 trillion annually.
Additionally, the Government of India has planned an investment of around USD 4 billion for infrastructure development projects. These projects require various special-purpose vehicles such as service truck bodies, and utility vehicles to handle construction materials.
Rising spending on construction activities across the globe is driving the market. According to the above-stated organization, the new construction activities spending is expected to reach around USD 17.5 trillion by 2030.
Among these, around 60% of the global infrastructure project investment is in emerging economies such as India, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, China, and ASEAN countries. Rising investments in infrastructure development projects and a surge in construction activities are driving the market.
The rising adoption of the service truck bodies in the logistics and transportation sector owing to the increase in e-commerce sales of the goods is driving the market. Various transportation & logistics firms are implementing service truck bodies to pick up and deliver goods to the required locations.
Increasing logistics sales and the rising adoption of these service body trucks have propelled the service body trucks market. According to the World Bank Report in 2020, the logistics sector generated revenue of around USD 4.5 trillion. The growth of the logistics sector is attributed to the expansion of e-commerce sales and surge in the consumer preference for online shopping.
High cost of service truck bodies is owing to the high cost of raw materials and high maintenance and repair costs is hampering the market. Increased prices of raw materials have a domino effect on various aspects of the market, as explained below. Firstly, the high cost of raw materials has a direct impact on the manufacturing cost of service truck bodies. Steel and aluminum are costly raw materials for manufacturers to purchase, which increases production prices.
The final product become costly as a result of these costs being transferred to the consumers. For instance, a report published in 2021, by the American Trucking Association stated that growing steel prices were a significant factor in the rising expenses of truck manufacture, which impacts on trucks' overall affordability.
Rising adoption of lightweight materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and other composite materials in the manufacturing of service truck bodies creates significant opportunity in the global market. The key players are developing and designing the service truck bodies with these lightweight materials to meet the end-use industries' demand.
For instance, in May 2022, Metso Outotec industrial technology firm launched new service truck bodies which are lightweight and made with hybrid truck bowls. The company used high-strength-based steel and rubber for manufacturing.
The company designed these truck bodies with lower hauling costs lighter in weight for safer work environments and with maximum payload capacity. Additionally, the introduction of lightweight materials and improved fabrication techniques contribute to increased fuel efficiency and overall vehicle performance.
Despite global economic uncertainties, the rising demand for service truck bodies is expected to continue, supported by rising infrastructural development projects, government funding for waste management vehicles, increased emphasis on workplace safety, and growing environmental consciousness represents a significant opportunity for the service truck bodies market.
