Commercial Vehicles Industry Overview
The global commercial vehicles market size was estimated at USD 1,274.50 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 1,850.31 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2022 to 2030.
The COVID-19 pandemic affected the automotive industry, with the market witnessing a decline in growth as a result of low automotive sales or new requirements. Implementation of vehicle scrappage programs, aggressive investments in infrastructure and rural development, drafting of stringent regulatory norms for vehicle length, and loading limits, among other parameters, are anticipated to fuel the growth.

The resumption of mining activities in some parts of the world, which has triggered the demand for tippers, is also expected to drive growth. The rising levels of disposable income in both developing and developed countries and the continued infrastructure development are also projected to bode well for the growth of the market.
The rise in awareness for an environmentally sustainable solution has motivated commercial vehicle manufacturers to develop vehicles that reduce carbon emissions. Manufacturers are working on innovative vehicle designs, reducing load factors & size, and customizing vehicles according to weight regulations.
Infrastructure conditions, driver technique, weather management, and national policy are additional influential factors considered by automakers for developing vehicles. Research & development for manufacturing such vehicles require lots of investment. Thus, there is a requirement for policy action and investment initiatives to be taken by the government, private and public sectors. Such initiatives will support manufacturers to reduce operation & production costs.
Furthermore, demand for small, medium and heavy commercial vehicles has increased for logistics and transportation in association with e-commerce. The logistics market has shifted from just being a service provider, to offering customer-centric solutions. Thus, the requirement for commercial vehicles has increased for transportation purposes.
A supportive regulatory framework and additional incentives from the government have raised the demand for commercial electric vehicles. There was an increase in the number of electric buses and heavy-duty truck registrations in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region, in 2020. With the emerging economy in the Asia Pacific region, China dominates the overall electric bus and electric truck market.
According to IEA, more than 78k buses and 31k trucks have registered according to the local policies of the Chinese government, which is a significant contributor to the high sales of Electric Commercial Vehicles (ECVs). Further, European governments, Clean Bus Deployment Initiatives, and municipal level policies have resulted in 2.1k electric bus registrations. There was a 23% increase in the sale of electric trucks in 2020 than the previous year. Similarly, the increased growth of the ECV in California is due to government policies.
While various factors contribute to the growth of the commercial vehicle market, COVID-19 has posed a severe challenge. Global lockdown in 2020 stalled all the manufacturing and transportation activities. Disruption of the supply chain and economic slowdown impacted several sectors such as automobiles, transportation, and logistics. As the transportation and logistics sectors hold around 50% market share in the commercial vehicle market, less demand from this sector results in declining sales of commercial vehicles.
