Demand for safety and comfort features are significant factors for the growth of the trailer assist system market globally

With the increase in sales of passenger cars and LCVs, consumers are increasingly demanding comfort & safety for these vehicle segments. However, limited usage of towing trailers in developing countries can create a hurdle for its growth.

Increase in sales of passenger cars and LCV’s are likely to propel the growth of passenger cars and LCV’s during the forecast period

The passenger cars segment is expected to be the fastest growing market. The trailer assist system for LCVs is provided by very few OEMs, which includes Volkswagen in Europe, and Ford in the US. Volkswagen is offering the system as an optional package for Touran and Crafter van for the European region only except few countries, whereas Ford provides trailer assist system for F-series in LCV in North America which includes the US and Canada. The LCV market is high in numbers due to the US and Canada, where F-series sales are high. The demand for LCV is expected to grow at the highest growth rate in North America, where people prefer more LCVs compared to passenger cars. In Europe, the market will increase with a moderate growth rate.

The North American market is expected to register the fastest growth during the forecast period.

The North American market is expected to witness the fastest growth, followed by Western Europe and Eastern Europe. The automotive industry, primarily dominated by the US, is one of the most advanced automotive sectors, with a penchant for highly advanced and powerful automobiles. The OEMs which are providing trailer assist system in this region are Ford and Land Rover. Ford has launched this feature specifically for its North American customers for models like Ford Expedition and F-series.

Western Europe is expected to be the largest market during the forecast period.

Western Europe is expected to be the largest market, followed by North America. In Western Europe, the countries included are France, Germany, Spain, Italy, UK, Belgium, and the Netherlands. These countries are economically stable, have a high standard of living, and disposable income is high. People in these countries usually prefer towing trailers for various activities like recreational activities, camping, small business activities, household work. In these countries labor cost is high, so people usually prefer to do their household activities on their own, so the demand for towing trailers is high in Western European countries.
