According to Trailer Body Builders’ recently-published 5-year Forecast, industry data shows that the growth currently being experienced within the trailer market is “unprecedented.” This can be attributed to a number of consumer trends, most notably the rise of e-commerce and omnichannel retail. As much of the world is getting used to ultra-convenient delivery, North American trailer manufacturers, in particular, are reaping the rewards of the trend.

With a retail revolution like this, new and smaller trailer manufacturers are scrambling to get in on the action, but the 25 tried and true players – many of which have been around for 50 years or longer – still hold 90% of market share. These trailer-makers are the ones who have been innovating the semi-trailer market for years and have the budget, talent, and tools to continue doing so.

As the transportation and logistics industry continues to evolve and manufacturers look for ways to build more aerodynamic trailers, seek the most durable materials, and other improvements to boost transportation efficiency while maintaining regulatory compliance, these manufacturers are the companies to watch.
