The increasing demand for autonomous transportation is poised to be a driving force behind the growth of the automobile and heavy equipment trucking markets in the coming years. Autonomous vehicles, equipped with fully automated driving systems, have the capability to respond to external conditions and navigate routes without human intervention. For example, as of January 2022, data from G2.com Inc., a US-based corporation specializing in information technology and the internet, reveals that the global autonomous vehicle industry is experiencing a remarkable annual growth rate of 16%. More than 1,400 self-driving trucks, cars, and other vehicles are currently undergoing evaluations and trials. This surge in the demand for autonomous transportation is a significant factor propelling the expansion of the automobile and heavy equipment trucking markets.

The rising number of freight transportation projects is anticipated to be a key driver for the growth of the automobile and heavy equipment trucking market in the coming years. Freight transportation projects encompass the movement of large, heavy, complex, or high-value equipment and cargo, whether by land, sea, or air, including break bulk cargoes. The increasing prevalence of such projects is contributing to the expansion of the industry and creating a higher demand for heavy-duty trucking services. Ensuring the availability of secure, accessible, and safe truck parking facilities is essential for the efficient transportation of goods and cargo. For example, data from the United States Bureau of Transportation Statistics, a US-based organization specializing in data collection, analysis, and dissemination in the field of transportation, reported that in August 2022, the Freight Transportation Services Index (TSI), which measures the volume of freight moved by the for-hire transportation sector, increased by 1.7% in June, reaching an all-time high and marking the second consecutive month of growth. Over the course of the year from June 2021 to June 2022, the index rose by 4.6%. Consequently, the proliferation of freight transportation projects is a driving force behind the growth of the automobile and heavy equipment trucking market.
