Where does FTR get market sizing metrics for the U.S. trailer market?
Trusting your data intelligence partners is important for your business processes, that's why we go directly to the source!
FTR sources trailer market data through direct agreements with all major U.S. trailer OEMs and most mid-major OEMs, capturing sales and order data at the point of origin.
Our OEM partners account for 89% of total trailer production across the dry van, refrigerated van, and flatbed segments. For the remaining 11%, FTR uses proprietary modeling and supplementary industry sources, and reconciles annual totals against figures published by Trailer Body Builder magazine.
