SEGMENT ANALYSIS

By Type Insights

The major driving factor for multi-axle trailers is the demand from end-user industries. The need for resource exploration and mining activities in developing countries is increasing. The good economic outlook and growth of the wind & energy and construction industries are expanding opportunities for modular trailer makers. Multi-axle trailers are likely to account for the most critical market share during the foreseen period. It can load dimension cargo with the addition of axle lines as per requirement. Because the axle lines are often attached and detached, a multi-axle trailer is commonly used for different applications. The payload capacity per axle line is initiated at 15 tons. Moreover, it offers maximum agility, perfect stability, maneuverability, and safety.

By Application Insights

Construction companies usually have projects located in several areas. Modular trailers help with the transportation of the already built sections to places where they're going to be installed and, at the same time, shift material and equipment from one project to a different one. These trailers are wont to transport large bridge segments, large girders, concrete beams, and construction machinery, among others. Spending on capital-intensive projects and infrastructure is predicted to grow significantly within the next decade, thereby driving the necessity for the transportation of construction equipment and materials.

By Number of Axles Insights

The 2-axle line trailers are available in a wide selection of sizes and weight-carrying capacities. The per-axle line load-carrying capacity starts at 10 tons and goes up to 1000 tons. 2-axle line trailers are quite famous for the transportation of large equipment. The Asia Pacific and North America together account for a total of 2-axle line trailers. Consistent with the Indian Construction Equipment Manufacturer Association (ICEMA), the growth for earthmoving and mining equipment during FY 2017–18 was significant, recording a rise of 23%. The rising demand for such material creates the necessity for freight transportation for supply chain operations. In turn, it will create a positive outlook for the global modular trailer business.
