North America Fire Apparatus Manufacturing Industry Report 2017

Dublin, Aug. 25, 2017 -- The "Fire Apparatus Manufacturing Industry in North America: Aerial Ladders, Aerial Platforms, Pumpers, Tankers, Rescue Trucks, Wildland/Brush Trucks, ARFF Trucks" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

This report provides 2016 unit and dollar production numbers for aerial ladder and aerial platform trucks, pumpers, tankers, rescue trucks, wildland/brush trucks, and aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicles.

Seventy-five manufacturers have been identified in this industry. Leading manufacturers offer all types of fire apparatus, whereas some manufacturers (in the wildland/brush truck segment for example) offer only one type of firefighting truck. Others, such as tanker manufacturers, offer firefighting apparatus as part of their broader range of products.

The look and structure of this industry has changed in recent years. Traditionally, the fire equipment manufacturing segment has been fairly fragmented, with several private, multi-generation, family-owned companies. However recent years have seen consolidation, and the industry has now been transformed into one where private equity/holding group entities have a strong presence. Industry opinion expects to see continued consolidation in this segment, driven primarily by two main factors-funding challenges experienced by family-owned companies, and expanded market shares and territories for the acquirer companies.

The role of fire departments has also been changing over the years. Available data indicates that 64% of calls to fire departments are now for medical aid response; less than 5% are for fire incidents. Accordingly, as apparatus comes up for replacement, fire departments are reassessing their requirements, due to expectations that fire and EMS (emergency medical services) will continue to converge. As a result, combination, or multi-purpose, apparatus, are experiencing increasing demand.
