The global semi-autonomous and autonomous truck market is expected to grow in the forecast period of 2025-2034 at a CAGR of 27.50%.
South Korea's Transport Ministry has mandated autonomous emergency braking and lane departure warning systems in passenger cars beginning from January 2019 and in trucks and other vehicles starting from July 2021. Meanwhile, North America is a pioneer in autonomous technology, pickup trucks, which are equipped with innovative semi-autonomous features. The leading automotive manufacturing companies such as Ford and General Motors are increasingly providing pickup trucks services in the region. These factors are expected to aid the global semi-autonomous and autonomous truck industry in the forecast period.
Autonomous trucks provide improved safety, efficiency, and productivity and offer the potential to drastically reduce the frequency of road accidents. These vehicles observe the road safety rules and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. These trucks, thus, assist in reducing the issues of traffic congestion while also increasing vehicle efficiency. Additionally, major corporations can reduce their total costs by utilising autonomous last-mile delivery trucks. Another major factor, which is expected to drive the demand for autonomous trucks for last-mile delivery applications is the reduced availability of delivery drivers and staff, as well as an increase in e-commerce activities. In addition, the increased logistic activities are also projected to lead to the growth of the semi-autonomous and autonomous truck industry in the forecast period.
The Asia-Pacific to be one of the Leading Regions in the Semi-Autonomous and Autonomous Truck Industry
The Asia-Pacific is expected to witness a robust growth in the forecast period. This can be associated with China and Japan's rapid progress toward vehicle automation, especially mining and delivery trucks, and increasing safety regulations by various countries. The Asia-Pacific is expected to be one of the fastest-growing regions in both the semi-autonomous and autonomous truck industry during the forecast period.South Korea's Transport Ministry has mandated autonomous emergency braking and lane departure warning systems in passenger cars beginning from January 2019 and in trucks and other vehicles starting from July 2021.
