Fleet Car Leasing in the US industry analysis

The fleet car leasing industry is facing various challenges and uneven demand trends. The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in commercial fleets is slow and inconsistent, resulting in operational uncertainty for fleet car leasing companies. Regulatory uncertainty, infrastructure concerns and residual values make lessees wary of committing to long-term EV leases. Fleet car leasing companies are responding to this uncertainty by implementing more flexible leasing programs, gaining expertise in EV charging and maintenance management and partnering with charging infrastructure providers to help customers navigate state and federal incentives.

Trends and Insights

  • Rising vehicle prices and fluctuating operation costs impact industry economics. High new vehicle prices result in greater capital outlays, while fluctuating operating costs may drive clients to seek cost savings.
  • The growth of e-commerce and demand for last-mile delivery continue to boost the market for medium-duty trucks. Their use in regional and local distribution will remain robust.
  • The Southeast region's economic growth stimulates high demand for fleet car leasing because of its dense corporate and service industry presence. With pro-business regulations and infrastructure, this region presents cost-effective transportation solutions through leasing.
  • Recognizing the value of differentiation, fleet leasing companies are specifying brand or vehicle types. By offering a broad or targeted range of leased vehicles, they stand a better chance of cornering their piece of the market.

Industry Statistics and Trends

Market size and recent performance (2015-2030)

Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 1.1 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $9.5bn in 2025.

Trends and Insights

Demand for electric vehicles is uneven

  • The push toward electric vehicles (EVs) in commercial fleets is ongoing, but the pace is slowing and highly uneven across regions, fleet types and vehicle classes. While some manufacturers are scaling back battery plant expansions and new EV model launches, corporate fleets are still advancing electrification, aided by price reductions on new EVs. However, the commercial EV market remains nascent and regulatory uncertainty, especially regarding California’s Air Resources Board (CARB) mandates, adds complexity.
