The global road freight transportation services industry is fragmented. The North American region dominates this market as improvements in the shipping supply chain aredriving the growth of the road freight market in that region. A combination of factors, including high fuel costs, government regulations, and increasing road congestion, impact industry dynamics significantly.
Lucintel’s research indicates that despite a decline in 2009, the market witnessed considerable growth in the following years (2010 and 2011).Government incentives to adopt green technologies are strengthening the business case for hybrid power train systems while modest economic growth is driving demand for road freight.

Investment in transport infrastructure, increasing global trade activity, high demand for import and export of goods, increase in consumer demand for goods, and expanded mining activities are expected to boost the industry in the future.
