Dealerships & large fleets continue to gain market share--> This trend will continue with increasing vertical integration in the OE market and with the OEMs effort to increase proprietary technology integration Owner and fleet operators at one time dominated truck service industry, however, outsourced service is forecast to increase: Increasing complexity of trucks: Increased use of electronic features increases complexity of truck repair. This will drive truck owners towards Large Fleet and OE service versus conducting in-house service. Consistent increase in need for tools, equipment and labor costs will raise maintenance costs. The number of smaller (1 to 5) truck fleets is forecast to increase at a faster rate than the larger (25 or more) fleets. These smaller fleets do not have on-site repair and maintenance facilities.
