Truck, trailer and motor home manufacturers produce motor vehicle bodies, truck trailers, motor homes and recreational vehicles (RVs). In recent years, the lingering impact of COVID-19 and inflation created significant revenue and profit volatility. Consumers traveled less and consumer spending faltered, leading to lower demand for truck trailers for shipping and RVs for travel. Even so, booming e-commerce markets, the economy's post-pandemic recovery and pent-up demand for travel have created conditions for a stellar recovery. However, waning interest in camping, especially amid the rejuvenation of other travel and leisure options, has pressured bottom lines in RV markets. While strong freight growth created opportunities at the start of the period, shipment volumes have faltered, limiting growth opportunities in the second half of the period. Overall, revenue has climbed at an expected CAGR of 1.7% to $76.7 million through the current period, including a 0.1% climb in 2026, where profit will reach 2.7%. Declining backlog orders have threatened revenue growth through the latter half of the period.
