Road transportation is the most often used method in the logistics business due to its greater cost advantages over other modes. Thus, logistics represents one of the major end markets for automobile trailers. The industrial, agricultural, electronics, textile, and apparel industries are all expanding quickly, which is increasing demand for logistics and supply chain services. The majority of firms also depend on third-party logistics providers to minimize fleet investments, employee cutbacks, and to guarantee that various types of containers, tanks, and flatbeds are accessible when required. In addition, due to the enormous expansion of e-commerce operations, e-commerce enterprises' reliance on logistics service providers to assure the transit of goods through warehouse and distribution hub has expanded. As a result of the variety given in terms of load-carrying capacity, logistics organizations, particularly the less than truckload (LTL) and full truckload (FTL) freight transportation companies, are increasingly purchasing vehicle trailers. Additionally, compared to rigid trucks, trailers have the lowest cost of transportation per ton per km, which is further boosting their use in logistics operations.
Additionally, the demand for cold chain logistics is growing due to the rise in demand for perishable goods like pharmaceuticals, poultry, fresh flowers, fish, dairy products, fruits, and vegetables around the world. This is due to people being able to spend more on premium, fresh, and organic goods due to rising disposable income in developing nations. In order to meet the rising demand, governments in various nations are also upgrading the infrastructure of the cold chain industry.
For instance, under its "Scheme of Cold Chain, Value Addition and Preservation Infrastructure" plan, the government of India provided large financial support for investments in the cold chain, including processing, which significantly increased demand for reefer trailers. As a result, the market for automotive trailers is anticipated to develop throughout the projected period due to the rise of the cold chain and logistics sectors. Thus, driving the Automotive Trailer market revenue.
