Mack Truck Market Share Grows Amid Declining Demand and High Interest Rates
What happened
Mack Truck's market share grew to 8.3% for the first nine months of 2026, up from 7.3% the previous year, according to Volvo Group. Declining demand for heavy-duty trucks resulted in a 9% decrease in third-quarter 2026 orders. Despite this, orders for the first nine months of 2026 were 55% higher than in 2025.

Why it matters
The performance highlights the impact of high interest rates on the commercial vehicle market. While Mack Truck increased its market share, the decline in demand and deliveries suggests ongoing market contraction in the heavy-duty truck sector.
