Increased utility of pickup trucks is the key factor driving the growth of the market. Pickup trucks are increasingly popular over hatchbacks and sedans because they offer better value. Additionally, the raised trunk capacity and towing capacity of pickup trucks make them suitable for both commercial and non-commercial use. In the US, pickup trucks are offered in a variety of finishes to accommodate more passengers without sacrificing cargo capacity.
Moreover, automobile companies equip pickup trucks with luxurious interiors to bring a premium feel to passengers. This is one of the reasons why the demand for pickup trucks is increasing among families looking for a comfortable family car for daily travel in the US. Therefore, these factors will drive market growth during the forecast period.
Increasing incorporation of lighter materials in pickup truck manufacturing is the primary trend shaping the growth of the market. Pickup trucks are usually made of steel. Using alternative materials to build trucks will increase fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. In addition, when lighter materials are used for production, more engine power can be allotted to towing or pulling.
Additionally, the aluminum variant offers greater towing capacity by using a V6 engine instead of a V8. The use of aluminum increases the vehicle's performance without affecting its performance. Therefore, such a proposal is expected to be followed by major automobile manufacturers as a trend in the US market and will boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The high manufacturing cost of pickup trucks is a challenge that affects the growth of the market. Manufacturing pickup trucks is capital-intensive due to the high precision required for components such as brakes, axles, suspension systems as well and traction and steering cylinders. In addition, the prices of raw materials such as stainless steel, hardened steel, cast iron, and other metal alloys continuously fluctuate. The adoption of newer technologies will also increase production costs.
Additionally, regulations on fuel emissions and efficiency are driving OEMs to install advanced technologies, increasing production costs. Rising production costs force manufacturers to pass costs on to customers, slowing new pickup truck sales. This will pose a challenge to the growth of pickup trucks, which will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.

All pickups have a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 6,000 lbs to 14,000 Ibs considered a large pickup truck.

The full-size pickup truck segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 133.28 billion in 2017. Full-size pickup trucks primarily come with V6 engines and higher engine configurations such as V8 options for better performance and fuel economy. V8-powered full-size trucks offer advanced powertrain technologies, such as cylinder deactivation, to streamline engine operation. Automakers, specifically General Motors and Ford Motor Co., are offering diesel variants of full-size pickup trucks with risen towing or hauling capabilities. Therefore, these factors will boost the growth of the segment and the US - pickup truck market during the forecast period.
