In 2021, the school buses category accounted for the largest share of the industry, at approximately 55%, and it will remain the largest in the years to come. This is credited to the fact that these buses are the major mass transportation system in the nation.
Based on body type, the standard buses category held a larger share in the industry, and it is expected to dominate the industry in the years to come, propelling at a higher CAGR. This is mainly ascribed to the high use of standard buses in schools and public transportation.

This is attributed to the fact that in 2021 dissemination of e-buses in the U.S. was approximately 1.6% of the nation’s overall bus sales, and the e-bus share in public fleets is increasing consistently.
Based on length, the 8.1–10 m bus category generated the largest revenue in recent years, and it will remain the largest in the years to come. This is mainly because 8.1–10 m bus provides better seating comfort and mileage compared to other kinds of buses.
Based on seating capacity, the 30–50 seats category accounted for the largest revenue share in the U.S. bus industry, and it will witness the highest growth rate, of approximately 5.0%, in the years to come.
