Fire Trucks Market Outlook 2025-2035: Featuring Zoomlion, Danko Emergency Equipment Co., Ziegler Group, Naffco, REV Group, Morita Group, Spartan Motors, Magirus GmbH, Oshkosh Corporation

The global fire truck market is set for substantial expansion, with an estimated value of USD 6,376.3 million in 2025, projected to reach USD 9,192.8 million by 2035. This growth signifies a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.8% over the forecast period, driven by the ongoing modernization of emergency response fleets, escalating regulatory mandates for fire safety, and groundbreaking technological innovations in electric and hybrid fire apparatus.

The push towards electrification in firefighting vehicles has gained significant momentum. In 2025, Pierce Manufacturing, a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation, marked a key milestone with the delivery of its Volterra electric fire truck to King County International Airport (Boeing Field). This state-of-the-art vehicle, equipped with Oshkosh's proprietary TAK-4® independent suspension and electric drive technology, aims to substantially reduce emissions and enhance maneuverability, aligning with the airport's long-term decarbonization goals. Canada is also at the forefront of this shift, with Rosenbauer delivering its electric RTX fire truck to the Victoria Fire Department in British Columbia. This RTX model, featuring dual battery packs and an integrated diesel range extender, ensures performance reliability under diverse operating conditions, providing the agility and sustainability vital for next-generation emergency response.

Beyond electrification, the market is witnessing robust product diversification. In 2024, Fire Truck Center expanded its line of custom-built brush trucks, specifically designed for wildfire containment and rural operations. These vehicles, featuring reinforced aluminum bodies, dual-pump systems, and modular storage solutions, are in high demand from municipal and forestry departments in fire-prone regions across North America. The market's trajectory from 2025 to 2035 will increasingly focus on electrification, platform modularity, and strategic geographic expansion into urban and semi-urban response systems. Procurement strategies are heavily influenced by municipal budget cycles and public safety grants, emphasizing durability, modularity, and emissions compliance. Furthermore, airport fire services and industrial zones are increasingly specifying hybrid or fully electric vehicles to meet their localized sustainability targets.

Dominant Segments and Regional Growth Drivers

Despite the rise of electric alternatives, diesel-powered fire trucks are projected to maintain their dominance, accounting for approximately 71% of the global fire truck market share in 2025 and growing at a CAGR of 3.6% through 2035. Their robust low-end torque, operational efficiency, and compatibility with heavy-duty chassis configurations make them indispensable for fire departments, particularly in emerging economies and rural areas. Manufacturers are continually enhancing these vehicles with advanced diesel emission control technologies to meet evolving environmental regulations.

Fire trucks with a water capacity of 250 to 500 gallons are anticipated to hold the largest market share, approximately 38% in 2025, with a forecasted CAGR of 4.0% through 2035. These units strike an optimal balance between maneuverability, storage space, and firefighting capability, making them ideal for municipal operations in diverse terrains and densely populated areas. As urbanization intensifies, these versatile units remain critical for both first-response and support fleet operations.

Geographically, the United States is poised for significant growth, with a projected CAGR of 4.9% between 2025 and 2035. This expansion is driven by emergency response fleet upgrades and the increasing incidence of large-scale wildfires, supported by robust municipal and federal funding programs. Key players like Oshkosh Corporation (Pierce Manufacturing), E-ONE, and Rosenbauer America are focusing on electric trucks, ergonomic configurations, and AI-based control systems.

China is set to lead global growth with a forecasted CAGR of 5.6% through 2035, fueled by rapid urbanization, stringent fire security regulations, and the bulk purchase of sophisticated firefighting fleets. Smart city development is also accelerating the adoption of networked emergency vehicles. Germany (4.2% CAGR) and South Korea (4.1% CAGR) are also expected to demonstrate strong growth, driven by robust institutional infrastructure and national safety initiatives, respectively. Other key regions like the UK (3.8% CAGR), Japan (3.7% CAGR), France (3.6% CAGR), Italy (3.5% CAGR), Australia (3.4% CAGR), and New Zealand (3.1% CAGR) are all actively modernizing their fleets and integrating advanced technologies.

Competitive Landscape and Strategic Outlook

The fire truck industry is characterized by a dynamic competitive landscape, with global players and regional experts focusing on advanced firefighting solutions, vehicle durability, and compliance with stringent safety regulations. Leading manufacturers such as Rosenbauer International AG, Oshkosh Corporation, and Magirus GmbH are at the forefront of producing technologically advanced fire trucks equipped with smart firefighting systems, telematics, and AI-powered emergency response tools. These companies are continuously refining their product lines with customized configurations for urban, industrial, and wildland fire applications.

Strategic partnerships and acquisitions are key to market expansion. Oshkosh Corporation, through Pierce Manufacturing, has solidified its North American presence with next-generation electric fire trucks, while Rosenbauer leads in the European market. Companies like Morita Group and Magirus GmbH focus on regional dominance through collaborations with local firefighting authorities, delivering compact and maneuverable fire trucks suited for congested urban environments. Differentiation is also achieved through product specialization, with some companies emphasizing custom chassis development for high-performance vehicles tailored to specific fire department needs, while others offer modular firefighting systems for rapid deployment of foam and high-pressure water. The increasing interest in autonomous and remotely controlled firefighting vehicles signals further technological investments in the industry. The rapid pace of urbanization and the demand for specialized fire response vehicles continue to spur innovation to meet the complex challenges of modern firefighting.
