Truck Scale Global Market Report 2025

A truck scale is a large weighing platform designed to measure the total weight of heavy vehicles and their loads. It is typically installed on a solid foundation and equipped with load cells that accurately capture weight data when a truck drives onto the scale. These measurements are crucial for ensuring compliance with weight regulations and maintaining road safety.

The primary types of truck scales are portable truck scales and fixed truck scales. Portable truck scales are mobile weighing systems designed to measure the weight of trucks and their loads at various locations, providing flexibility and convenience for temporary or remote weighing operations. These systems use analog and digital technologies and are available in different weighing capacities, including below 30,000 lbs, 30,001 lbs to 70,000 lbs, 70,001 lbs to 100,000 lbs, and above 100,000 lbs. They are commonly used in applications such as logistics, construction, mining, agriculture, waste management, and others, and serve a range of end users including small enterprises, medium-sized enterprises, large corporations, and government and municipal authorities.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The swift increase in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the machinery sector by increasing costs for steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings critical components often imported from tariff-affected regions. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery now face squeezed margins, as many long-term contracts prevent immediate price adjustments. The uncertainty has also delayed investment in automation and smart machinery technologies, slowing productivity gains. To adapt, firms are accelerating local supplier development, redesigning products to use alternative materials, and leveraging predictive maintenance to extend equipment lifespans amid higher replacement costs.

The truck scale market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.48 billion in 2024 to $2.66 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for accurate vehicle weight measurement, rising adoption of automation in industrial weighing operations, growing need for compliance with government weight regulations, increasing vehicle load monitoring in transportation hubs, and expanding investments in infrastructure and industrial projects.

The truck scale market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.43 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for data-driven fleet and logistics optimization, increasing focus on sustainability and fuel efficiency through precise weighing, expanding industrial automation and digital transformation initiatives, growing government emphasis on road safety and transport compliance, and rising adoption of cloud-connected weighing systems. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in smart weighing technology, development of cloud-connected scale systems, innovation in automated axle weighing, improvement in durable and corrosion-resistant materials, and development of predictive maintenance solutions.

The growth in logistics and freight volumes is expected to drive the growth of the truck scale market going forward. Logistics and freight volumes refer to the total quantity of goods transported and managed through various supply chain networks, encompassing the movement, storage, and handling of shipments across different transportation modes. This growth is fueled by increasing international trade activities, as the rising exchange of goods across borders boosts demand for efficient transportation and supply chain services. Truck scales support logistics and freight operations by ensuring accurate weight measurement of vehicles and loads, enhancing efficiency, safety, and regulatory compliance across transportation processes. For example, in June 2025, according to the United States Department of Transportation, a US-based government department, cross-border U.S. freight shipments with Canada and Mexico totaled $144.8 billion in March, representing an 8.4 percent increase compared to March 2024. Therefore, the growth in logistics and freight volumes is driving the growth of the truck scale market.

Primary companies operating in the truck scale market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as in-motion weighing systems, to enhance weighing efficiency, accuracy, and throughput in high-traffic operations. In-motion weighing systems are advanced technologies that measure the weight of vehicles or loads while they are moving, without requiring them to stop on the scale. For instance, in January 2025, Rice Lake Weighing Systems Inc., a US-based manufacturing company, launched Survivor OTR-IMS, an in-motion truck scale system designed to enhance efficiency in high-volume operations by enabling trucks to be weighed without stopping. The system features a patent-pending single-draft weighing technology that provides legal-for-trade weights for vehicles traveling at speeds of up to 6 miles per hour, ensuring smooth traffic flow. It includes the 1280 Enterprise Series weight indicator, LaserLight3 remote display, and a DOT-grade speed sensor, and is compatible with both new and existing SURVIVOR OTR truck scales with steel or concrete decks. The OTR-IMS system boosts facility throughput, reduces emissions by minimizing idle time, lowers maintenance needs by decreasing braking, and enhances safety by allowing drivers to complete weighing transactions directly from their cabs.

In November 2024, Michelli Weighing and Measurement Inc., a US-based industrial measurement and calibration services company, acquired American Scale LLC for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Michelli aimed to expand its service footprint into Kentucky and Indiana and enhance its nationwide support capabilities. American Scale LLC is a US-based company providing truck scales.
