The study involves four main activities to estimate the current size of the terminal tractor market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, such as application, drive, type, tonnage, propulsion, logistics by industry, electric terminal tractor by battery chemistry and region. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and market analysis with industry experts across value chains through primary research. Bottom-up and top-down approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size for different segments considered in this study. Thereafter, market breakdown and data triangulation processes were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
Secondary sources referred to in this research study included the Port Equipment Manufacturers Association (PEMA), Tractor and Mechanization Association, Container Dealers Association (CDA), and Container Owners Association (COA); corporate filings (such as annual reports, investor presentations, and financial statements); and trade, business, and terminal tractor associations. The secondary data was collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall market size, which was further validated by primary research.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research was conducted after acquiring an understanding of the terminal tractor market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from terminal tractor providers, component/system providers, and end-user organizations across three major regions, namely, North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Approximately 75% of the primary interviews were conducted from the terminal tractor providers and component/system providers, and 25% from the end-user organizations. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. Various departments within organizations, including sales, operations, and administration, were contacted to provide a holistic viewpoint in the report while canvassing primaries.
Note: Company tires are based on the Supply chain, and the revenue of the company is not considered. Other designations include sales, marketing, and product managers.

Market Size Estimation
A detailed market estimation approach was followed to estimate and validate the value and volume of the terminal tractor market and other dependent submarkets, as mentioned below:
-
The bottom-up approach was used to estimate and validate the size of the terminal tractor market. The terminal tractor market size by application, in terms of volume, was derived by multiplying the country-level breakup for each application (warehouse & logistics, marine port, airport, and oil & gas) with country-level terminal tractor sales.
-
The country-level terminal tractor market by application, by volume, was multiplied by the country-level average selling price (ASP) for each application to get the terminal tractor market for each application by value.
-
The summation of the country-level market would give the regional level, and then further addition provided the global terminal tractor market, by application (warehouse & logistics, marine port, airport, and oil & gas). The total value of each country was then summed up to derive the total value of the terminal tractors market by application.
-
All key macro indicators affecting the revenue growth of the market segments and subsegments were accounted for, viewed in extensive detail, verified through primary research, and analyzed to get the validated and verified quantitative and qualitative data.
-
The gathered market data was consolidated and added with detailed inputs, analyzed, and presented in this report.
-
The top-down approach was used to estimate and validate the market by propulsion in terms of volume and value. The terminal tractor market volume (units) and value (USD million) by region (Asia Pacific, North America, MEA, Europe, and RoW) were derived from the global terminal tractor market. The penetration of each propulsion (diesel, electric, and CNG/LNG) at the regional level was derived from secondary sources and validated through primaries. The penetration of each propulsion (diesel, electric, and CNG/LNG) was multiplied by the regional terminal tractor market to get the terminal tractor market volume (units) and value (USD million), by propulsion, for each region. A summation of all region-wise markets was carried out to derive the total terminal tractor market volume (units) and value (USD million) by propulsion. The top-down approach was followed by drive, type, tonnage, and logistics by industry segments too.
Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall market size—using the market size estimation processes as explained above—the market was split into several segments and subsegments. All parameters that are said to affect the markets covered in this research study have been accounted for, viewed in extensive detail, and analyzed to obtain the final quantitative and qualitative data. This data has been consolidated, enhanced with detailed inputs and analysis from MarketsandMarkets, and presented in the report. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends in the demand and supply sides of the terminal tractor market.
Market Definition
A terminal tractor is a type of tractor intended to move semitrailers and containers in cargo yards, warehouse facilities, intermodal facilities, railway yards, airports, and other heavy industries. It has a short wheelbase with space to accommodate a single person. The construction of a terminal tractor also provides the driver with a 360-degree view from inside the vehicle.
