Fire Truck Manufacturing in the US - Industry Research Report

Continuous Growth: as the Fleet of Fire Trucks and Engines is Aging, Fire Departments Are Expected to Invest More in New Vehicles

The Fire Truck Manufacturing industry largely depends on government funding. Over the past five years, local and state government funding has decreased, reducing manufacturers' spending on new firefighting vehicles. However, federal funding for homeland security has grown, contributing to increased funding for the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program. The AFG program assists fire departments in acquiring new vehicles and outfitting departments with safety equipment, which has grown to $370.0 million in 2023, up from $350.0 million in 2018. Over the five years to 2023, revenue has fallen at a CAGR of 6.0% to $2.2 billion, including an expected 2.1% increase in 2023. Profit is expected to account for 4.2% of revenue in 2023, remaining relatively unchanged from 2018.

This industry manufactures fire trucks and fire engines. These vehicles assist in fighting fires by transporting firefighters and essential equipment, such as pumps, ladders and safety gear, to the scene of fires.
