Transport and Logistics: Industry Facing an Historic Opportunity as EU Market Becomes Fully Open

Posted by | Apr 29, 2004 | |

The Polish transport industry is facing an historical opportunity, as entry barriers to the huge and lucrative EU market are about to be removed, and Poland is to become part of a single market stretching from Gibraltar to Tallinn.

Europe’s commodity transport market is expected to grow by almost 25 percent in 2005-2010, to some 2,045 billion kilometre tonnes. Road transport is expected to rise by 37 percent, growing by an annual rate of over 6 percent in the coming years. Next year, the market is expected to be worth some 220 billion euro.

The expected rise in transport volumes has already taken place, with commodity transport traffic at Poland’s border crossings up 20 percent in January-February on the same period of last year.

Express delivery companies are notoriously tight-lipped about the financial side of their operations, and there is little independent research about their activities that can be considered authoritative, making it difficult to gauge turnover and trends. But by most accounts, the industry has grown between 25 percent and 40 percent per year over the last three years, and just four Western companies — Dutch TNT, Brussels-based DHL and American UPS and FedEx — account for most of the action.
