The research study involved extensive secondary sources, such as company annual reports/presentations, industry association publications, magazine articles, directories, technical handbooks, World Economic Outlook, trade websites, technical articles, and databases, to identify and collect information on the autonomous trucks market. Primary sources, such as experts from related industries, automobile OEMs, and suppliers, were interviewed to obtain and verify critical information and assess the growth prospects and market estimations.
Secondary Research
Secondary sources for this research study include corporate filings, such as annual reports, investor presentations, and financial statements; trade, business, and professional associations; whitepapers, marklines, and the OICA (International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers); certified publications; articles by recognized authors; directories; and databases. Secondary data was collected and analyzed to determine the overall market size, further validated by primary research.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research was conducted after understanding the autonomous trucks market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from the demand side (vehicle manufacturers, country-level government associations, and trade associations) and the supply side (autonomous trucks and buses manufacturers, component providers, and system integrators). The regions considered for the research include North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Approximately 17% and 83% of primary interviews were conducted from the demand and supply sides. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and marketing, were covered to provide a holistic viewpoint in this report.
After interacting with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from the primaries. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, led to the findings described in this report.
