Market Overview:
The global automotive fifth wheel couplings market is estimated to be valued at US$ XX Mn in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ XX Mn by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of X.X%. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for commercial vehicles across the globe. Based on type, the global automotive fifth wheel couplings market has been segmented into compensating, semi-oscillating and fully oscillating. Of these, compensating type is expected to account for a major share of the market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its ability to distribute load evenly between axles and improve vehicle stability. Based on application, OEM (original equipment manufacturer) accounted for a major share of the global automotive fifth wheel couplings market in 2017. This can be attributed to rising demand for commercial vehicles from original equipment manufacturers across regions such as North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
Product Definition:
An automotive fifth wheel coupling is a coupling device that attaches to the rear axle of a truck or other vehicle and provides a connection point for a trailer. Fifth wheel couplings are important for connecting trailers to vehicles because they provide a more stable connection than traditional hitch connectors and they distribute the weight of the trailer more evenly across the vehicle's frame.
Compensating:
Compensating fifth wheel coupling is a device used in heavy-duty applications to connect the rear axle of a semi-trailer to the rear end of another vehicle or trailer. The coupling consists of two arms, one fixed and one that movesable, which are joined by a springloaded mechanism. When force is applied to the movable arm, such as when accelerating or decelerating, it exerts pressure on the fixed arm causing them both to move together.
Semi-oscillating:
Semi-oscillating fifth wheel coupling is a device used in heavy commercial vehicles to connect the rear of a semi-trailer to the tow truck or another trailer. The coupling consists of two metal plates, which are clamped by means of springs between them. As there are no direct mechanical connections between these two plates, they act as an intermediary and transfer energy from one plate to another via springs.
Application Insights:
OEMs held the largest market share of over 70% in 2017. The OEMs use these products as a part of standard equipment for their vehicles. These products are also used by the aftermarket as a replacement for fifth wheel assemblies that were originally installed by the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Fifth wheel coupled rigs play an important role in oil and gas production, construction, mining and agricultural activities across various industries such as energy, chemicals and mining among others.
The growing demand for light-duty trucks to transport goods from warehouses to retail stores is expected to drive product demand during the forecast period. Furthermore, increasing consumer disposable income levels have resulted in an increased number of retail store openings which has further propelled product demand during this period.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to witness a growth rate of 4.6% over the forecast period, owing to increasing demand for fifth wheel coupled trucks from OEMs and aftermarket service providers in North America. The U.S.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to be one of the fastest-growing regions during the forecast period owing to rising disposable income levels among consumers, which will result into higher vehicle sales on account road infrastructure development projects undertaken by various governments across countries such as China and India are likely boost regional demand for automotive fifth wheel coupling products Demand for these products is also driven by rapid industrialization taking place across emerging economies including China, India Indonesia etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for commercial vehicles: The global automotive fifth wheel coupling market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand for commercial vehicles. This is mainly due to the growth in e-commerce and logistics sector, which has led to an increase in freight traffic across all modes of transportation, including roadways, railways, and waterways.
- Technological advancements: The market is witnessing various technological advancements that are helping OEMs offer better products with enhanced features and performance. These include electric actuation systems that provide faster coupling/uncoupling operations and improved fuel efficiency; automatic slack adjusters that reduce wear & tear on brake components; anti-lock braking systems (ABS) that improve safety while braking; etc.
- Stringent emission norms: Stringent emission norms being implemented by various governments around the world are prompting Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to develop more fuel-efficient technologies for their vehicles. This is resulting in increased adoption of automotive fifth wheel couplings by commercial vehicle manufacturers as they help improve fuel economy by up to 3%.
