The garbage truck bodies market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.91 billion in 2023 to $5.22 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth during the historical period can be linked to factors such as rising waste generation, government regulations on waste management, heightened environmental concerns, cost-cutting initiatives, infrastructure development, and an increased focus on recycling and waste separation.

The garbage truck bodies market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.75 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of smart city initiatives, stricter environmental regulations, urban population growth, a stronger focus on sustainability, increasing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles, a heightened emphasis on fleet management solutions, and shifting consumer expectations. Key trends during this period include the integration of IoT for smarter operations, a focus on waste-to-energy technologies, the adoption of advanced safety systems, the development of durable and lightweight materials, the rise in retrofitting existing fleets, and investments in sustainable waste management solutions.

The increasing generation of residential waste is expected to drive growth in the garbage truck body market. Residential waste consists of household items such as food scraps, packaging, paper, and other materials disposed of by residents. This rise in residential waste is driven by population growth, improved living standards, and a convenience-focused, disposable culture, which contributes to higher consumption of goods and packaging materials. Garbage truck bodies are essential for managing residential waste, as they provide efficient solutions for collecting, compacting, and transporting large volumes of household waste to disposal or recycling facilities, helping maintain clean and hygienic communities. For example, in February 2024, the United Nations Environment Programme projected that global municipal solid waste generation would increase from 2.3 billion metric tons in 2023 to 3.8 billion metric tons by 2050. This growth in residential waste generation is expected to continue driving demand in the garbage truck body market.

Key players in the garbage truck body market are focusing on technological innovation, particularly the development of electric automated sideload garbage truck bodies, to improve waste collection efficiency. These electric-powered vehicles feature automated systems that enable the efficient and safe loading of waste from the side. For instance, in October 2022, Heil Environmental Industries Limited, a U.S.-based manufacturer of garbage and recycling trucks, introduced the RevAMP electric automated sideload body (eASL). This fully electric refuse collection vehicle is designed to enhance operational efficiency and sustainability in waste management. Equipped with an electric lift arm and auger-style compactor, the RevAMP reduces energy consumption, noise, and greenhouse gas emissions. When paired with an electric chassis, it can cut emissions by approximately 41 metric tons per year. Additionally, it operates on its own battery, making it compatible with various chassis types, and can help municipalities save up to 4,000 gallons of fuel annually. The RevAMP represents a sustainable option for waste haulers, delivering both performance and environmental benefits to meet modern refuse collection demands.
