It will grow from $1084.05 billion in 2023 to $1179.18 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%.

The anticipated growth in the forecast period is linked to the increasing demand for raw materials from manufacturing industries, along with the driving force of rising urbanization. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period encompass the surge in demand for raw materials from manufacturing industries and the market growth propelled by increasing urbanization.

The growth of the specialized freight trucking market is supported by the anticipated stable economic growth in both developed and developing countries. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global GDP is projected to grow by 3.3% in 2020 and 3.4% in 2021. The expected recovery in commodity prices, following a significant decline in the historical period, is an additional factor contributing to the market's growth. Developed economies are poised for steady growth, while emerging markets are forecasted to exhibit slightly faster growth than their developed counterparts in the forecast period. This stable economic growth is anticipated to drive investments in end-user markets, thereby fueling the specialized freight trucking market.

The specialized freight trucking market is expected to experience growth propelled by the expansion of the E-commerce industry. E-commerce involves the online trading of products, services, and the exchange of money and data. Specialized freight trucking plays a crucial role in the last-mile delivery of goods to customers' homes, ensuring faster delivery by bringing inventory closer to the end-users. As an example, data from the United States Census Bureau reveals a 6.6% increase in retail e-commerce sales, reaching $269.5 billion in Q2 2023 in the United States. Consequently, the growth of the E-commerce industry becomes a driving force for the specialized freight trucking market.


Truck transportation companies are increasingly adopting collision mitigation technology to mitigate the loss of lives and damage associated with accidents. The collision mitigation system is designed to identify potential collisions and promptly alert the driver, providing an opportunity for preventive action. These systems are integrated into the vehicles and can automatically intervene in the event of an impending accident, acting without requiring input from the driver. Many countries globally are incorporating these systems as standard features in new trucks. For example, data from the US Department of Transportation reveals that twenty automakers committed to equipping nearly all new passenger vehicles with a low-speed Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system, including forward collision warning (FCW), by 2022. This technology has proven effective in preventing and mitigating front-to-rear crashes, potentially averting nearly 2000 crashes annually. Key companies manufacturing these collision mitigation systems for trucks include Delphi Automotive LLP, Robert Bosch GmbH, Denso Corporation, Autoliv, Inc., and General Electric Company.
