DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ztvqth/strategy_digest) has announced the addition of the "Strategy Digest - 2014 - Strategies, Plans, Strategic Priorities & Analysis on World's 7 Leading Truck-Makers - Daimler, Volvo, MAN, Scania, PACCAR, Navistar, Iveco" report to their offering.
Global Trucking Industry Continues to Tread Cautiously on the Recovery Path
The U.S. heavy truck market registered a 11% decline through the first half of 2013 and a 9% contraction through the end of September in 2013. Despite significant order intake across OEMs in Q2 and Q3, the European market contracted by 13% during H1 and by 8% through the first 8 months of 2013.
In the U.S. market, the freight rates have remained tepid while the freight volumes have grown moderately during Q3 with spurt in consumer spending and strong housing starts that is likely to drive replacement demand across carriers and bolster class 8 truck production subsequently, especially, with improving corporate profits.
The European market is likely to experience a spurt in deliveries during Q4 in wake of the upcoming Euro 6 emission standards likely to come into effect from January 01, 2014 besides the seasonal uptick in demand anticipated from November 2013 through January 2014. The OEMs, however, are maintaining a cautious stance with respect to the overall production rate with uncertainty over fiscal and monetary policy matters, especially, in the US market.
Amongst emerging markets, Brazil is likely to lead the growth trend for 2013 with a low interest rate environment and strong, continued construction and infrastructure development activity contributing to a strong, double digit growth rate. Going forward into 2014, almost all BRIC markets are projected to stay flat for 2014 with respect to the heavy and medium duty truck segments.
