The upward trajectory in the sales of commercial vehicles is anticipated to catalyze the expansion of the truck platooning market. Commercial vehicles, encompassing those involved in transporting people or goods for business purposes, are increasingly becoming a focal point for the adoption of platooning technologies. The surge in commercial vehicle sales is driving the demand for platooning solutions, offering advantages such as heightened efficiency, reduced losses, and improved fuel economy. Notably, in September 2022, as reported by Rushlane, a prominent automotive source based in India, sales of commercial vehicles surged from 54,107 units in August 2021 to 67,158 units in August 2022. This robust growth in commercial vehicle sales underscores the driving force behind the expanding truck platooning market.

Increasing manufacturing activities are anticipated to drive the growth of the truck platooning market in the future. Manufacturing involves the process of converting raw materials or components into finished products using tools, labor, machinery, and chemical processing. Truck platooning systems play a crucial role in enhancing manufacturing activities, as they facilitate efficient and automated loading processes that minimize manual labor, boost productivity, and improve logistics operations. For example, in July 2023, Eurostat, a government statistical agency based in Luxembourg, reported that seasonally adjusted industrial production in the Eurozone rose by 0.2% in May 2023, while the European Union saw an increase of 0.1% compared to April 2023. Additionally, in February 2023, Statistics Canada, a Canadian government agency, revealed that the manufacturing sector in Canada experienced significant growth, with total sales soaring by 17.9% to reach $850.9 billion in 2022. Therefore, the expansion of manufacturing activities is driving the growth of the truck platooning market.

The surge in autonomous driving trends is poised to drive the growth of the truck platooning market. Autonomous driving, denoting a vehicle's capability to operate without direct human intervention, aligns seamlessly with platooning systems. These systems, integrating autonomous driving capabilities, enable trucks to operate in close proximity while synchronizing their movements. This integration significantly enhances the efficiency and safety of platooning operations. Notably, in 2022, the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association reported that autonomous vehicles had covered over 44 million miles on U.S. public roads, showcasing the increasing prevalence of autonomous driving. As this trend continues to gain momentum, it serves as a key driver for the growth of the truck platooning market.

Major players in the truck platooning market are strategically embracing new technologies to fortify their market positions. The adoption of new technologies involves the integration of innovative tools, systems, or methodologies to enhance efficiency and gain a competitive edge. A notable example occurred in September 2023 when Resolute Forest Products, a Canada-based pulp and paper company, contributed to advancing off-highway automated vehicle (AV) technology, specifically truck platooning. The tests involved a pickup truck prototype in various conditions, with upcoming phases exploring more challenging scenarios using fully loaded Class 8 trucks equipped with the AutoDrive autonomous platform.

Leading companies in the truck platooning market are focusing on the development of innovative services, such as Telematics Solutions, to consolidate AI-powered fleet safety, risk management, and operations. This approach represents a significant advancement in telematics technology, streamlining and enhancing various aspects of fleet management. For instance, in October 2023, Nauto, a U.S.-based company specializing in AI-driven driver safety technology, launched new telematics capabilities providing visibility into vehicle tracking, utilization, misuse, and maintenance planning. The integrated solution addresses the challenge of multiple devices in commercial vehicle cabs, enabling fleet operators to reduce costs and optimize efficiency. Additionally, Nauto's safety features have been enhanced with specialized detectors that generate specific alerts, differentiating between pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists in situations where there's a detected risk of collision with these vulnerable road users (VRUs).
