The global concrete transport truck market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.98% during the forecast period, reaching a total market size of US$13.481 billion in 2027 from US$9.591 billion in 2020 owing to the easy and convenient transfer of concrete from the loading point to the construction site.

Concrete transport trucks are a type of vehicle that is used to mix concrete and transport it to the construction site.

Generally, the barrel is filled with dry materials and water, and the mixing process then occurs during transport. Also, these trucks can be loaded from a central mix plant, in which case the materials have already been mixed or premixed. To maintain the material’s liquid state, the mixture is agitated or the drum is turned until the point of delivery.

The drum of the concrete transport trucks is fitted with a spiral blade which helps to agitate the mixture. The concrete is pushed deeper into the drum in one direction of rotation, whereas in the other direction the concrete is pushed out. Concrete transport trucks can be classified on the basis of type as front discharge, rear discharge, and others wherein front discharge trucks have the opening of the drum containing concrete mix in the front, whereas rear discharge trucks have the opening of the drum at the back. Also, these trucks are available in different capacities, such as up to 6 m3, 6 m3 to 10 m3, and more than 10m3. As there are many construction activities and projects coming up the requirement for these trucks has increased. Furthermore, there are key players that are involved in advancements and investments in this market, so these factors will help in bolstering the market growth of concrete transport trucks.

By Type

On the basis of type, the global concrete transport truck market is segmented into front discharge and rear discharge. Rear discharge concrete transport trucks hold a significant share in the market owing to the fact that they are one of the most commonly used types of concrete transport trucks.

By Capacity

By capacity, the global concrete transport truck market has been segmented as up to 6m3, 6m3 to 10m3, and more than 10m3. 6m3 to 10m3 holds a significant share in the market owing to the fact that most transport trucks use drums of this capacity, which can carry a good amount of cement mix to the construction site.

By Geography

The concrete transport truck market is segmented into North America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Asia-Pacific, and South America. Asia-Pacific holds a significant share in the market due to the rising construction activities that lead to many new construction sites and projects that have boosted the demand for these vehicles.

Recent development and expansions

• In September 2020, ZOOMLION 20 concrete Trucks were deployed in Uzbekistan. The company participated in the construction of a large-scale local railway tunnel project with complete sets of products such as a spraying manipulator, mixer truck, mixing plant, and trailer pump and endured severe cold conditions. Customers praised the product's quality. In recent years, the company has pursued growth in Uzbekistan through a 'localization' strategy.
• SANY introduced Battery-Electric Concrete Mixer Trucks in September 2020. These trucks have been delivered to and commissioned for its strategic partners in China, rather than being in prototype form. SANY's battery-powered solutions will help customers gain confidence in dealing with increasingly stringent emission regulations.
• The largest lock in the world, costing over USD 800 million, was built in IJmuiden in 2020 with help from Liebherr Mobilmix 3.5. This project, which will link Amsterdam to the sea, calls for over 300,000 m3 of concrete.

COVID-19 impact on the Concrete Transport Truck Market

Construction activities were greatly hampered by the Covid-19 outbreak. The market was impeded by a paucity of workers and a disrupted supply chain. The market for concrete trucks was impeded by the fact that the manufacturing and oil & gas sectors were among the worst hit by the pandemic. However, the pandemic is slowly coming to an end, and all industries will soon return to their regular production and service levels.
