With a constantly rising population, the market is seeing an increase in demand for several products, including food, automobile, chemicals, building materials, oil and gas, medicines, furniture, and home items. This has accelerated the industrial manufacturing of these items across the world. With each passing year, many competitors enter the FMCG industry to capitalize on the attractive growth opportunity.
Furthermore, as the number of vehicles on the road grows worldwide, so does the need for oil and gas. Major oil-producing countries, including the United States, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and China, have significantly boosted their overall production output. These reasons are likely to increase demand for road trailers to transport manufactured goods, oil and gas, agricultural produce, pharmaceuticals, and automobiles, among others.
North America and Europe currently account for more than 60% of worldwide road-trailer manufacturing. However, when manufacturers compete with many competitors and supply quality items to remain in the market, manufacturing costs rise to a high level, reducing net profit margins. This creates a lucrative opportunity for market participants to develop their manufacturing line or production facility in economies with abundant raw materials and favorable government policies.
According to our findings, Asia-Pacific and South America provide an excellent potential opportunity for market participants to extend their presence and establish manufacturing plants in these regions. This would allow the participants to take advantage of low-cost labor, plentiful raw materials, improved operational efficiency, and favorable government regulations.
Due to a rapidly rising population and a movement in the number of manufacturing businesses to this region, the industrial output and supermarket network have significantly increased in the last several years. Furthermore, the ongoing trade battle between the United States and China and China and India has produced attractive income pockets for trailer manufacturers.
