Comparative SWOT & Strategy Focus - 2016-2020 - Global Top 7 Medium & Heavy Truck Manufacturers - Daimler, Volvo, MAN, Scania, PACCAR, Navistar, Iveco
NEW YORK, April 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Global Trucking industry is in the middle of a technology driven transformation marked by the advent of autonomous driving technologies and rapid growth in the scope of utilization of connected vehicles technologies which are virtually transforming the trucking industry with the evolution of new service concepts, propositions & models driving unprecedented service levels & standards made possible by the creation of a virtually integrated & inter-connected eco-system driving enhanced efficiencies across the entire chain. The Internet of Things (IoT), too, is poised to transform the production processes & industrial activities across the industry going forward with a seamless flow of data & information across the entire connected network & its effective utilization across a range of functions.
The cross sectional view of the industry highlights an asymmetric growth trend with varying & disparate economic conditions across key geographic markets & regions with traditional markets, led by North America, witnessing steady growth while emerging markets, led by Brazil, China & Russia, face a host of complex economic challenges creating asymmetric demand trend for medium & heavy trucks varying significantly across markets & regions. The demand for medium & heavy Trucks registered strong growth across EU & the U.S. markets in 2015 with robust freight activity, increasing fleet utilization and growing profitability for fleet operators with continued plummeting of crude oil prices. The U.S. Economy continues to prove itself as the stable cornerstone of the global economy with steady economic growth momentum followed by Europe which, too, continues to make slow economic recovery amid deflationary risks. The economic growth in China has slowed down to the lowest rate in over 25 years accompanied by continued financial markets volatility as the country strives to transition to a more consumption driven economy. Brazil & Russian economies, on the contrary, have been impacted severely by the energy sector downturn and are in recession, in addition, to the ongoing political crisis in Brazil with pressures likely to prevail across these economies over near term. Additionally, the ongoing mining slump with continued weakness in global commodity prices has impacted a number of other emerging markets as well. The global economy, thus, remains vulnerable to adverse shocks with market turbulence, oil price crash, weak commodity prices & continued geo-political conflict as key threats & risk factors to global economic growth.
Almost all key industry OEMs are investing & working towards creation of a technology driven strategic differentiation through development & integration of a range of cutting edge technologies into their product portfolio as a key source of competitive advantage while delivering enhanced value to fleet owners, operators & other stakeholders. The same is evinced most noticeably by Daimler's continued investments & significant advances as well as strides in the autonomous driving technologies domain which has made autonomous driving a reality with the company's overall strategy orientation spearheaded by technology. Additionally, the U.S. market has gained even further strategic significance for almost all key industry OEMs as of-late with steady growth momentum which is likely to be sustained over medium term with strong drivers visible. The OEMs, thus, are strengthening their product portfolio while reinforcing & expanding their distribution & aftermarket support network in the U.S. market. The keys for the OEMs, thus, are going to be to maintain & enhance competitiveness while managing variable market conditions and investing towards technology development & driving business growth from a long term perspective.
