Dump Trucks Market Scope

Dump Trucks Market Dynamics

Driver

Rising construction and mining activities

Dump trucks are the most important part of the construction and mining industry that allows efficient and smooth operation in the field. They are often equipped with various advanced features, such as hydraulic lifts that allow easy unloading and minimize the effort and time taken for offloading. Dump trucks are used in the construction and mining industry for transporting materials like concrete, aggregate, dirt, and asphalt. They can move the material from one place to where it is required, reduce manual labor costs, and increase productivity. Thus, the rising construction activities in urban areas and the rising investments in the real estate industry are accelerating the growth of the dump truck market.

Restraint

Raw material fluctuation and high prices of the vehicles

The prices of dump trucks are relatively higher compared to their ordinary counterparts. Add to these fluctuations in the prices of the raw materials and unavailability of raw materials; the end product has to set a high price to cover the production charges alone. The cost of the trucks depends upon the size, capacity, model, application, and weight. Also, the initial and maintenance costs of the dump truck are higher, restraining the growth of the dump truck market.

Opportunity

Electric dump trucks

The electric dump trucks are also known as the eDumper. Many major manufacturing firms are investing in the development of electric dump trucks and are accelerating the growth of electric dump trucks. Electric dump trucks are high in energy efficiency, weighing 45 tons. Electric dump trucks use regenerative braking. Regenerative braking allows battery charging while the car is traveling at a constant speed. Thus, rising technological advancements in dump trucks, like electric dumper trucks, are creating an opportunity for the growth of the dump truck market.

• In September 2022, Australia-based Newcrest Mining announced that it is slowly inclining its way towards electrifying its entire diesel truck fleet to battery-electric at its Brucejackgold-silver mine in British Columbia, Canada.

Type Insights

The articulated segment dominated the dump trucks market with the highest market share in 2023. The growth of the segment is attributed to the higher use of articulated dump trucks in construction activities due to their working capacity on rough terrain condition properties that drive the growth of the articulated dump trucks segment in the dump trucks market.

Articulated dump trucks are divided into two separate parts working permanently together. The front part contains the cab part, which contains the engine in front of the cab, and the second part is the dump box that hinges into the cab. Articulated dump trucks have hydraulic cylinder steering wheel functions. They are known for their hauling in adverse weather conditions or rough terrain. Growing demand for articulated dump trucks designed to work on a 35-degree incline. Thus, the rising demand for articulated trucks is due to the several factors that drive the demand for the articulated dump trucks segment in the dump trucks market.

The rigid segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of the segment is attributed to the rising use of rigid dump trucks in construction activities which drives the growth of the rigid dump trucks segment in the dump trucks market. Rigid dump trucks are the type of trucks in which the can and the rest of the body are aligned in the same chassis.

The rigid trucks use conventional steering with the rear wheel driving. They are known for their heavy load-carrying capacity, such as for the transportation of rocky loads on well-maintained roads. Rigid dump trucks are cost-efficient compared to other types of trucks that can transport heavy loads for long periods.
