Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c76899) has announced the addition of ‘The Truck Body Manufacturing Industry in North America’ to their offering.

This report is an analysis & evaluation of the size, segmentation, channels and competitive structure of the industry underlying the manufacture of truck bodies in North America for specialized/vocational uses.

The manufacture of truck bodies in North America for specialized/vocational uses is a highly fragmented business, with 341 identifiable players spread across the U.S. and Canada.

These types of vehicles can be categorized into two production categories: 1) standardized products and 2) products that are harder to replicate. Examples of standardized products are dump trucks, van bodies, service and utility trucks, and flatbed trucks. These have lower average prices and margins and are not technologically advanced in their design. On the other hand, products that are hard to replicate, such as concrete pumpers, concrete mixers, refuse trucks, vacuum tank trucks, and tow trucks, involve far more engineering in the design of the unit, which results in the product having a higher average unit price.

Truck body types covered in this report are as follows:

Beverage trucks

Concrete mixers

Concrete pumpers

Crane trucks

Curtainside vans

Dump trucks (light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty)

Flatbed trucks (stake & platform)

Refuse & recycling trucks (front loaders, rear loaders, automated side loaders, manual/semi-automated side loaders, recyclers)

Service & utility trucks

Street sweepers

Tank trucks (aircraft refuelers, dry bulk tank trucks, LPG bobtail tank trucks, petroleum tank trucks, water tank trucks)

Vacuum tank trucks (portable toilet tank trucks, septic tank trucks, sewer cleaner tank trucks, vacuum Hydro-Extractor tank trucks, Vacuum Loader tank trucks, Vacuum tank trucks)

Van Bodies (Cutaway Van Bodies, Dry Freight Van Bodies, Insulated/refrigerated Van Bodies, Service/Utility Van Bodies, Walk-in Van Bodies)

Wreckers/tow trucks

The industry has been impacted by developments relating to consolidation by major players in the industry, as well as private equity buyers.
