Description

Global Terminal Tractor Growth Opportunities, Forecast to 2030


Alternate Fuel Technologies, Autonomous Vehicles, and Intelligent Yard Management Solutions Hold Long-Term Potential

Terminal tractors are important in port and warehouse operations. The terminal tractor is a versatile machine for a variety of uses such as moving semi-trailers. The industry has grown significantly in recent years, with a global market size of $727 million in 2022, and will likely record a 7.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach $1.3 billion in 2030. Factors driving the industry include eCommerce and logistics growth, environmental regulations and sustainable practices in ports, autonomous tractor requirements, and the advent of artificial intelligence in transportation.

Frost & Sullivan forecasts developed markets such as the United States and Europe to register resilient CAGRs of 5.1% and 8.4%, respectively, between 2022 and 2030. India and China will likely record strong CAGRs of 18.4% and 8.4%, respectively, for the same period because of the expansion of ports and logistics operations.

The industry is competitive, with many manufacturers wanting a piece of the action. Terberg Group, Kalmar Global, Capacity Trucks Inc., TICO, Autocar, Orange EV, BYD Co. Ltd., MAFI Transport-Systeme GmbH, Dina, Gaussin Group, SANY Group have a strong presence in multiple markets and offer a range of products. A trend toward more sustainable and efficient vehicles with an increasing focus on reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency characterizes the industry. This drives innovation, with manufacturers developing electrification and autonomous technologies.

Major innovations are likely in the areas of alternative fuels, autonomous technology, and artificial intelligence. Frost & Sullivan expects the industry to continue growing in this decade, driven by high-tech innovations, interoperability, and the need for autonomous operations.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
