Introduction

As the manufacturing of products continues to shift eastwards, overland supply chains have become critical in maintaining an efficient flow between the point of production and the consumer. This report forecasts the outlook for road freight transportation across Europe and benchmarks countries using the unique Datamonitor market efficiency rating.

Scope

• An assessment of Europe's road freight sector, including an analysis of the current trends and future challenges.

• A quantitative breakdown of the industry through analysing key road freight indicators such as transport performance and volume.

• An evaluation of the efficiency of the road freight industry across 20 European markets using Datamonitor's unique scoring system.

• Profiles of the leading road freight service providers across Europe.

Report Highlights

The eastward expansion of the European Union has provided a major boost to trade between Western and Eastern Europe. The growth of the retail, automotive, pharmaceutical and electronics industries in Eastern Europe has led to increased consumption demand for goods and services, which, in turn, has fuelled the growth in road freight sector.

However, while there are significant opportunities for companies to exploit, there are also major hurdles to overcome in order to guarantee success. While companies in Western Europe are faced with increasing operating costs, the Eastern half of the continent is plagued by obsolete, insufficient and inefficient transport infrastructure.

Datamonitor's unique market efficiency rating reveals that while Germany has one of the best scores, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland emerge as the top potential markets in Europe.

Reasons to Purchase

• Gain an analytical insight into the major factors currently affecting the road freight market, and the trends set to shape the future of the industry.

• Analyse the current situation in the European road freight market through top level economic and freight data.

• Understand the top current and emerging markets in Europe and use Datamonitor's unique market efficiency rating to benchmark individual countries.
