THE MARKET OUTLOOK FOR FREIGHT-CARRYING HIGHWAY TRAILERS, DOUBLE BOTTOM COMBINATIONS AND DEMOUNTABLE VAN CONTAINERS, 1967 TO 1985

This market research effort focuses on the potential sales volume of trailer and container manufacturers. The growth prospects for the imaginative manufacturer appear bright in an expanding market. Using as a basis previous studies, where actual performance can be measured against projections, the market for semi-trailers and doubles appears to be expanding. Doubles may grow faster if certain states will permit their use. Marine and rail containers show a very rapid growth and are projected to show a rapid growth in the near future. Special design considerations may help an aggressive manufacturer capture a large share in this market.
