Technological advancements are expected to continue driving market growth during the forecast period. Over the past decade, the commercial vehicle industry has witnessed numerous technological innovations, and this trend is anticipated to accelerate. For example, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental autonomous organization, reported that in 2022, around 66,000 electric buses and 60,000 medium- and heavy-duty trucks were sold globally, representing approximately 4.5% of total bus sales and 1.2% of truck sales worldwide. Sales of electric buses and trucks, which began to rise in 2021, continued to increase in 2022. These innovations are projected to propel the commercial vehicle market during the forecast period.

The growing demand for efficient transportation is expected to enhance the growth of the commercial vehicle market in the coming years. Transportation, or transport, refers to the deliberate movement of people, animals, and goods from one location to another. The rising transportation needs, whether for moving goods or people, necessitate a larger fleet of commercial vehicles. This, in turn, leads to increased sales of commercial vehicles, including trucks, vans, buses, and other modes of transport. For instance, in April 2024, a report from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, a US-based agency, indicated that for-hire transportation contributed most significantly to the increase from 2021 to 2022, rising from 3.2% to 3.5%, while household transportation had a smaller impact, with a one percentage point increase during the same period. Therefore, the growing demand for efficient transportation is driving the expansion of the commercial vehicle market.

Major commercial vehicle manufacturers are making substantial investments in driverless car technologies to reduce traffic congestion, prevent accidents, and save fuel. Driverless commercial vehicles leverage radar, GPS, and computer vision technology to sense their environment and navigate autonomously. Companies such as UPS and Amazon are conducting tests with driverless commercial vehicles to enhance operational efficiencies and cut costs.

Leading companies in the commercial vehicles market are diversifying their product offerings, introducing innovations such as commercial vehicle cooling systems to cater to broader customer bases, boost sales, and increase revenue. Commercial vehicle cooling systems regulate engine and component temperatures in vehicles such as trucks, buses, and construction machinery. For example, DENSO Corporation launched Everycool, an innovative cooling system for commercial vehicles in September 2023. This system enhances driver comfort during summer heat, reduces environmental impact, and improves energy efficiency by consuming 57% less power than conventional cabin-wide cooling systems in Japan. It achieves this efficiency by relying on the vehicle's original battery.
