Transport i logistyka

The transportation and logistics (T&L) industry benefits more than any other industry from the virtues of globalization, which include the growing exchange of goods and services and the increased mobility of people. Long term perspectives look bright for this industry. For this reason, merger activity has occurred frequently within the past few years to stimulate new growth potential and develop new markets.

However, T&L CEOs face various challenges induced by globalization, including threats such as energy prices, terrorism, climate change and pandemics. The difference to other industries is that the transportation sector is much more susceptible to such external forces and thus needs to consider measures that have to be taken to forearm against these threats. One of these measures is the idea of joining forces through consolidation to weather threatening potentials. From a more microeconomic point of view, owning the entire value chain is an important competitive advantage for a business located in the T&L sector.
