Pickup Truck Market Analysis

The number of competing mid-size models is increasing

Summary

  Pickup trucks (P/U) are an unfamiliar segment in Japan, but there are markets where they hold a significant share depending on the country or region. In terms of P/U sales volumes for 2025, the U.S. accounts for the vast majority of sales, followed by Brazil and Canada. Thailand has the highest proportion of P/U sales, but in recent years, P/U sales have been trending downwards.

  Pickup trucks are characterized by regional variations in body size (full-size, mid-size, and small). In North America, U.S. full-size P/Us dominate sales, while in South America, small P/Us of European manufacturers are the top sellers. Japanese manufacturers primarily market mid-size P/Us globally. In recent years, Chinese brands have introduced a large number of mid-size P/Us, which are considered to target a wide range of regions, including Southeast Asia.

  This report examines the current state of the P/U market and the outlook for major markets based on MarkLines' segment-by-segment and model-by-model sales data.
