Autonomous Truck Market worth over $2.5 Bn by 2028

Autonomous Truck Market size is estimated to cross USD 2.5 billion by 2028, according to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

The growing trend of vehicle safety and stringent government regulations to reduce road accidents are supporting the autonomous truck industry growth. The rising adoption of automation technologies coupled with investments in research initiatives is poised to boost the demand for autonomous trucks. Growing emphasis on safe & secure driving features with enhanced traffic control is fostering market statistics.
 

One of the major factors limiting the market demand is the high initial cost of an autonomous truck. Self-driving trucks are incorporated with sophisticated hardware & software, such as LIDAR, ADAS, sensors, cameras, processing unit, and V2X equipment, which contribute to higher vehicle costs. Furthermore, the limited availability of skilled operators for aftersales services, such as parts replacements and other digital settings, is challenging market growth.
