The truck and trailer component market has shown cyclical movements in the past fostered mainly by short-term business climate changes, industrial production and market regulations. The question is: What are the success factors for suppliers in specialized markets?

In our study, we consider articulated and rigid trucks in the medium/heavy duty segment as well as semitrailers and drawbar trailers. We offer an analysis of the truck and trailer market development respectively, with details e.g. about the global production of medium/heavy duty trucks, and players and developments on key regional markets.

Market players need to manage a broad variety of challenges, setting high barriers for new market entrants. To meet these challenges, we identified internal and external key success factors for CV suppliers.

Here we provide extracts of our broad study.
