Terminal Tractor Market to Hit $1.9 Billion by 2030
The global terminal tractor market is projected to grow from USD 1.4 billion in 2024 to USD 1.9 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 5.5%. The e-commerce sector's rapid growth, along with the rising demand for advanced material handling equipment in various industries to enhance productivity, is expected to drive the global demand for terminal tractors. The port industry is particularly focused on developing automated and electric vehicles, a trend that is also evident in the terminal tractor market.
The
Electric Terminal Tractor market is estimated to be the fastest-growing
terminal tractor market by propulsion. Leading manufacturers like Konecranes,
Kalmar, and Hyster are focusing on electric terminal tractors. They are
investing in R&D and forming strategic partnerships to advance electric
propulsion in terminal tractors. For instance, Hyster and Kalmar are at the
forefront of electrifying terminal tractor fleets, offering significant environmental
and economic benefits. Similarly,
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has strengthened its position in the electric
terminal tractor market by acquiring product rights from Lonestar Specialty
Vehicles (LSV) in the US.

Diesel
propulsion type is projected to be the largest market for terminal tractors
from 2024 to 2030
According to MarketsandMarkets analysis, based on propulsion, the diesel
segment accounted for the largest share of the terminal tractor market in 2023.
High power and load stacking requirements and the low cost of diesel make
diesel the first choice for equipment manufacturers. Governments worldwide are implementing stricter regulations to curb
emissions from various industries, including logistics. Although diesel engines
are a major source of air pollution, ports will likely face increasing pressure
to transition to cleaner technologies. Despite their long-term benefits, the
initial cost of electric tractors is still higher than diesel models. For some
companies, particularly smaller operators, the lower upfront cost of diesel
tractors becomes a deciding factor. North America is
estimated to be the largest market for diesel terminal tractors owing to the
presence of many small and mid-sized terminals in the region. North American
ports, equipped with advanced infrastructure and technology, play a crucial role
in global maritime trade and significantly drive the terminal tractor market.
North
America is expected to be the largest market for 4x2
terminal tractors as they are heavily used in port terminals. These tractors,
with a tonnage capacity of less than 50 tons, are used for stacking empty
containers at port terminals and in the logistics sector. The increase in
seaborne trade has led to more transportation of heavy containers (over 20
tons), boosting the demand for terminal tractors with a capacity of less than
50 tons. As per
MarketsandMarkets analysis, there is a high demand for 4x2 terminal tractors
from the logistics and warehouse industries in the US. Also, there has been a
push to increase the electrification of these vehicles. For instance, Kalmar
has sold 4x2 electric trucks in some of the ports in the US. Electric 4x2
trucks can save on fuel costs because there is no fuel waste while idling,
which traditional trucks do about 50% of the time, leading to higher fuel use.
Key Market Players:
Key players in the market include Kalmar
(Finland), Terberg Special Vehicles (Netherlands), Capacity Trucks (US), MAFI
Transport-Systeme GmbH (Germany), and TICO Tractors (US). These companies offer several product offerings and have operations
worldwide. They rely on their R&D capabilities and diversified product and
service portfolios to increase their market share. These companies focus on
product launches, collaborations, acquisitions, contracts, and partnerships to
strengthen their footprint through product innovations and extend their
business reach.
