Abstract
Report Overview
The truck industry accounts for only about 10% of the turnover of the global
automotive business, but the concentrated structure of the sector and the
swings in volumes that it experiences, make it a key business for many of the
companies involved in it. With its demands for quality, reliability,
flexibility and price sensitivity, the truck market takes many of the
pressures in the automotive component supply business to higher levels. But
for successful companies it can also be a very rewarding sector, with a
substantial aftermarket business and relatively stable long-term relationships.
The truck industry is also interesting because it is the leading edge of the
automotive sector in its move into emerging markets, and has for many years
been more international at the product level than much of the car industry.
This report identifies some of the trends and issues that have shaped the
truck industry in the last few years and looks at where the industry is going.
The report will be of interest to all current and potential participants in
the truck industry who need to track developments and identify potential
opportunities in this growing sector.
