Truck Body, Trailer and Upfitting Market Research Reports

About our Truck Bodies and Upfitting coverage

A commercial chassis is rarely sold to the end user as it leaves the factory. Body builders, trailer makers, upfitters and converters add the cargo box, crane, refrigeration unit, shelving or emergency equipment that turns it into a working vehicle, and that second stage is a large market that most research treats as a footnote.

We size it directly. Upfitting volumes are tied to chassis registrations and attach rates by application, trailer demand to freight and replacement cycles, and vocational vehicles to municipal budgets and service contracts. Pricing is built from body and equipment content rather than from chassis prices.

Coverage runs from Indian truck and bus body building to North American work truck upfitting, Australian ute canopies and trays, European van conversions, electric repowering and retrofit, and specialist vehicles such as refuse trucks, sewer jetters, snow ploughs and heavy wreckers.

Who uses this research

Body builders, trailer manufacturers and upfitters, chassis manufacturers managing their body builder networks, fleet buyers specifying vocational vehicles, and investors in the commercial vehicle value chain.

Every report is delivered with the underlying data tables, a defined methodology note and analyst access, so the assumptions can be interrogated rather than accepted. If the exact scope you need is not published here, we build commissioned studies on the same framework.
