Industry Outlook & Drivers

Global Road Freight Industry Outlook

The global road freight market was estimated to value ~$3.0 Tn in FY 2019, with the forecasted CAGR adjusted to 2-3% in FY 2020 due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Western Europe, North America, and Australia have a high shipper and supplier maturity given high advanced technology adoption.
Owing to the increase in e-commerce and global trade, Asia Pacific (APAC) and parts of Africa are expected to be the future growth-driving markets for road freight services.
Countries including China and India are home to major automotive manufacturers.
Moreover, the rising internet in developing regions in APAC is further auguring well for the road freight transport industry.

Global Road Freight Industry Trends

Buyers are increasingly looking for end-to-end supply chain solutions from service providers.
Suppliers are enhancing themselves to meet the demands of the buyers by offering them value-added services in addition to transportation services.
Rising urban traffic is pushing the demand for intermodal transportation.
The aim of zero-emissions and the sharing economy need cooperation on a new scale; road freight transport companies are likely to own the towing vehicle only, with semi-trailers and trailers becoming part of general-usage equipment available at different locations.
Further, given stringent environmental norms, players in the road freight market are turning to alternative fuels such as biofuels and electromobility.

Global Road Freight Drivers and Constraints

Drivers

Retail Sales:

Retail sales will increase by 5–6 percent, which will in turn drive the demand for trucking
Retail e-commerce is growing at 14–15 percent per annum, which will create new demand for logistics, particularly in metropolitan areas

Increasing Cross-border Trade:

Cross-border trade activities involve the sales and purchase of services and goods across overseas land borders.
It enables companies to expand their geographical and demographic footprint. This has encouraged various countries across the globe to boost their trans-border trade.
The presence of several landlocked countries, increasing trade activities, liberalization of cabotage, and better discrete income will drive cross-border road freight transportation.

Rising Tech Adoption

Market players are equipping their road freight services with innovative technologies such as hybrid powertrains, RFID tracking, and predictive monitoring to improve the efficiency of intercity transport.
They are leveraging algorithm-driven pricing structures and a digital broker application to match freight supply with demand, allowing consumers to find available freight capacity at competitive rates.

Transport Infrastructure:

An efficient transport sector with advanced infrastructure is an important element of any economy, helping to stimulate development, thus cutting the lead time and costs of trucking

Global Trade Activity:

During the last decade, increased production of high-value and light-weight goods and expanded trade among the member countries results in increased road freight transportation

GDP:

Because growth in GDP implies increased economic activity, there is a positive correlation between the development of freight transport and GDP, where any increase in GDP is directly related to the increase in road freight services in that region

Constraints

Fuel Rate

Fuel prices account for nearly 30–35 percent of trucking freight rates, thus having a major impact on pricing. Fuel prices, which have been low, are forecasted to increase in the second half of the year

Shortage of Drivers:

Driver wages account for nearly 30–35 percent of carriers' operating costs. Driver wages are expected to increase due to the prevalent shortages in the industry, coupled with a strong demand for qualified drivers and the same trend is expected to continue in countries such as the US,UK and Western Europe.
