About This Report
With 284 identified manufacturers/fabricators of truck bodies in North America, this project is the culmination of a formidable market research task that presents an overall industry-wide picture, not available anywhere else in this analytical depth and scope.
The 396-page report analyzes product range differentiators, trends impacting the industry, and future outlook, including key technological innovations. This project began by examining hundreds of companies in virtually all product types and then building on this to arrive at a final list of 284 unique players that have a bona fide capability to fabricate truck bodies in North America.
The final vehicle incorporating the chassis and body can be categorized into two production categories: standardized products and products that are difficult to replicate. Examples of standardized products are dump trucks, van bodies, and service and utility trucks. These standardized products have lower average prices and are not as technologically advanced in their design. On the other hand, the products that are hard to replicate, such as concrete pumpers, concrete mixers, refuse trucks, vacuum tank trucks, and tow trucks, have more engineering in the design of the unit, resulting in a higher average unit price. Quite often the manufacturers of large custom trucks are also chassis manufacturers. By contrast, for standardized vehicles the chassis and body participants are most often separate industries, where the chassis is supplied to the body fabricator to complete the vehicle.
Trucks/bodies covered in this report are as follows:
| Beverage & Vending Bodies |
Service & Utility Bodies |
Concrete Mixer & Pump Bodies |
Street Sweeper Bodies |
Dry & Liquid Tank Bodies |
Tow Trucks & Rollback Carriers |
Dump Bodies |
Vacuum Tank Bodies |
Refuse & Recycling Bodies |
Van Bodies |
In this report, each segment has been analyzed individually and then grossed-up into an overall industry overview that includes total market size, market shares, production break-out by region, an overview of profitability, revenue trends of leading public companies in this industry.
A companion report, Truck Body Manufacturing in North America Part II: Profiles of Manufacturers presents profiles on each and every one of the 284 manufacturers included in Part I: Industry Analysis. Part II is available as a separate purchase.
Certain manufacturers have, over the years, acquired companies and added product lines synergistic to existing businesses—either by product technology and design or by application and customer segment—to become dominant players in this industry. Both private equity buyers and strategic investors have been part of this consolidation. Groups discussed in this report include the Alamo Group, Federal Signal Corporation, JB Poindexter & Company, Inc., Oshkosh Corporation and the Godwin Group.
This report cohesively researches, analyzes and puts into a structured format, "who is who" in the business of truck body manufacturing in North America.
This is the only report of its kind on a $4.5 billion+ industry that is difficult to document without prior knowledge and skills in understanding the way a final truck is manufactured from the chassis up. The report can be put to immediate use for strategy, sales and market planning, M&A identification, market size quantification, competitive share analysis, and potential alliances through licensing or technology transfer agreements.
