Lucintel Estimates Global Transportation Services Industryto Reach US $2,735 Billion in 2017

The Global Transportation Services industry is expected to witness modest growth and reach an estimated US $2,735 billion in 2017 with a CAGR of 2.5% over the next five years.

The Global Transportation Services industry consists of revenues generated from freight transportation by road, rail, air, and marine modes. The industry is capital-intensive and demand is driven by macroeconomic trends in global imports and exports.The intensity of competition varies depending on the specific industry; the road transport sector for example, usually experiences the highest level of rivalry, while railways, as natural monopolies, suffer less from direct competition.
