The carriage industry refers to businesses involved in the manufacturing, selling, renting, and maintenance of carriages or horse-drawn vehicles. These businesses cater to individuals and organizations who use carriages for transportation, special events, tours, or other purposes. The industry may also include the training and breeding of horses for carriage driving. While the use of carriages has significantly declined with the rise of automobiles, the carriage industry still exists in some regions for historical, cultural, or recreational purposes.
