Posted by | Feb 2, 2007 | |

Overall road freight revenues in Spain grew 7.6% last year to EUR 16.9 billion, with road express taking an increasing share of the market in line with the European trend, according to a new study by Madrid-based market researchers DBK.

Road express revenues have risen to over EUR 2 billion and now represent around 13% of total road freight income, up from 12.3% in 2004, DBK’s data indicates. The growth is a result of growing demand and rising tariffs.

The research, which looked at the 2004-2006 period, found that road express revenues were growing at a greater rate than the road freight market as a whole, reaching over EUR 2 billion in 2005 (+8.6%) and EUR 2.2 billion (based on the 2006 growth forecast for the Spanish express industry) last year, amounting to one-third of all express sector revenue in the country.
