Automobile manufacturers are laying a lot of emphasis on passenger safety. Owing to this, the manufacturers are investing huge amounts in technologies like ADAS. These technologies are known to work in tandem with fifth-wheel couplers, which is expected to surge their demand. Apart from that, the manufacturers have also pointed out that the adoption of this system helps in improving fuel efficiency and reducing the weight of the vehicle.

Apart from that, there are rising initiatives from governments worldwide to improve the existing infrastructure. The heavy vehicles that are used for construction purposes are enhanced with the fifth wheel couplers. The application of these couplers assists in safeguarding heavy vehicles from rollovers. This is expected to increase the demand for fifth-wheel coupling going ahead.

Furthermore, the world is also witnessing an increase in waste management activities. The logistics aspect becomes extremely crucial, especially when dealing with bulk quantities of waste during the process of incineration. Heavy vehicles are being employed to deal with huge quantities of waste products.

However, the implementation of the fifth wheel coupler comes with its own share of challenges. The high cost that is associated with the trailers is expected to challenge the market growth during the forecast period. Apart from that, the issues created due to spring tension might create more hurdles.
