Technological advancements have enhanced the seafood packaging, processing, and storage processes during their shipping from one place to another. The retail sector in the US is altering the ways food is being made available across every retail shop, such as convenience stores and supermarkets. These changes in the food, pharmaceuticals, and retail industries—boosting the demand for cold chain—are supporting the growth of the semi-trailer market in North America. The developments in cold chains help in retaining the quality of the perishable food and temperature-sensitive medical products, thereby assuring reliable and efficient shipping of these products. The shipment of frozen foods in refrigerator semi-trailers facilitates the preservation of their nutritive values and quality for a longer period. The cold chain operators in North America are constantly focusing on advancements in the existing technologies associated with the transportation of products, while ensuring efficiency, integrity, and safety. Several market players present in the region are focusing on the development of a variety of semi-trailers. For instance, in 2020, Fontaine introduced Fontaine Magnitude 60LCC, a lowbed trailer intended for customers working in regions where spread-axle configurations are not required to maximize their trailer loads. Similarly, in 2019, East Manufacturing introduced its aluminum air tank as a standard on all trailer types and models, which is a lightweight trailer and rising its life span and recycling value by implementing anti-corrosive material and coating. Thus, such developments in the US, Canada, and Mexico, are accelerating the growth of the North America semi-trailer market

North America is an early adopter of several advanced technologies. Companies present in this region are continuously focusing on enhancing the overall business processes to meet customer requirements by offering high-quality products and services in the best possible way. The supply chain industry in the region has been undergoing a constant transformation, thereby substantially impacting warehousing and distribution fundamentals. Emerging technologies play a significant role in this development by filling a gap between supply chain operations and customers. The escalating adoption of semi-trailers in the US is mainly attributed to the boom in the automotive and e-commerce sectors and increased demand for perishable foods by the retailers. The mode of transportation for perishable goods depends on the type of goods, distance over which the product needs to be transported, and conditions under which the product must be shipped. Depending on the mode of transportation, the perishable goods are transported through sea, air, rail, and roadways. Road transportation is highly preferred to transport goods across the borders. Thus, the demand for refrigerated semi-trailers is growing across the region. On other hand, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, majority of the manufacturing plants are shut down, municipalities are functioning slowly as compared to past, and the automotive, manufacturing, and semiconductor industries are at a halt, which is negatively impacting the semi-trailer market. In terms of patient count and death toll, Canada and Mexico are still at a nascent stage compared to the US, which is the worst affected country due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The huge increase in number of confirmed cases in the US and rise in reported deaths in the country have affected the logistics industry. As per Geotab Inc.'s study, a significant drop has been witnessed in commercial transportation activity in the US and Canada, wherein the US, the impact is more significant. With a decline in commercial transportation activity, the growth of semi-trailer market in the region has been impacted in a negative manner.
