Czech Republic Freight and Logistics Market Analysis
The Czech Republic Freight and Logistics Market is expected to register a CAGR of 3% during the forecasted period.
- The Czech Republic's economy is growing mostly because people are spending more and the transportation system is getting better. About 38% of the costs of logistics in the country come from the activities involved in moving goods, mostly transportation. Also, the country's location makes it easier to trade with countries in Europe. The lower cost of labor and the current growth of the domestic market, which offer many opportunities, help to attract foreign investors.
- As per a survey, more than 50% of companies expressed that the industry shows lower costs in the supply chain. The positive relationship between trade unions, the government, and companies is a key long-term factor that will help the economy of the Czech Republic grow.
- The country is one of the top 15 car producers by volume, producing 107.5 vehicles per 1,000 people. Prague is the key logistics center in the country, but other cities such as Plzen, Brno, and Ostrava are also growing in importance. The position of the Czech Republic is reasonable in comparison with other European countries.
- The Czech Republic is seen as a country that has a competitive advantage when it comes to skilled human resources in the logistics industry. Between 2022 and 2023, the number of people with jobs in the Czech Republic was expected to rise by a total of 0.01 million, or 0.19 percent. The number is estimated to amount to 5.24 million people in 2023.
- As defined by the International Monetary Fund, the number of employed people refers to persons who, during a predefined period, either: year over year: a) performed wage or salary work; b) held a formal attachment to their job (even if not currently working), c) performed for-profit work for personal or family gain; or d) were with an enterprise although temporarily not at work for any reason.
Czech Republic Freight and Logistics Market Trends
Ecommerce Growth in the Region
As the region's e-commerce industry grows, more people need logistics services, which is good for the logistics business. Even though the COVID epidemic will force retail stores to close in 2020, the Czech Republic has made great progress in the growth of eCommerce.The income from e-commerce grew by 26% from the previous year to a new high of about USD 9 billion (CZK 196 billion).The European Union changes the way VAT is handled for B2C e-commerce merchants and marketplaces. This includes making a one-stop shop for EU VAT returns and ending the exemption for low-value imports.The goal is to make it easier to stay in compliance so that there is more cross-border online trade and more trade in the EU's digital single market.
Online businesses have always grown the fastest, and sales at stores that sell domestic goods have also grown at a rate of more than 10% per year. Aside from food stores, other shops, like those that sell things for the home, have reported higher sales. Sales of logistics and other e-commerce services are also likely to rise.
Increase in Road Freight Transport
In 2023, the European domestic road freight market is expected to increase by 0.7% in real terms, while the European international road freight market is expected to grow by 2.1%. Ti forecasts that the region's total road freight market would grow by 2.4% over the next five years, reaching EUR 420,150 million (USD 46.11 million) by 2026. According to reliable trade projections, the international road freight industry will grow faster than the domestic market over the next five years, despite being the smaller of the two.
Road transport costs in Europe are expected to surge in 2022, paralleling the astonishing growth in diesel fuel prices. According to the most current UPPLY / IRU / TI White Paper, average transport prices in Q3 2022 were 19.6% higher than in Q3 2021. This is in response to both reduced capacity and increased demand, as well as increases in the cost base, notably fuel costs. Although high taxes can occasionally moderate fuel prices, the current spike in diesel prices is quite likely to have resulted in fuel expenses approaching 50% of truck operating costs. Price increases have been exacerbated by increased demand for road freight services.
Czechia informed the Commission of its plans to assist operators of (i) rail passenger and freight transport and (ii) urban public transportation (such as tramway, trolleybus, and cableway systems) that use electric propulsion. The project will operate through the end of 2026, with a total expenditure of €180 million (USD 19.75 Million) (CZK 4.500 million). The measure's goal is to encourage (i) electric traction as a cleaner means of transportation than diesel-powered cars, and (ii) the movement of freight and passenger transport from roads to rail and urban transportation.
Czech Republic Freight and Logistics Industry Overview
The Czech Republic's freight and logistics market is competitive and fragmented, with the presence of many local as well as international players. The foreign companies in the region are mainly responsible for providing high-end, value-added logistics services in the country, while local companies typically specialize in the commoditized transport of goods. International transport in the Czech Republic is significantly taken over by carriers from other European Union countries, and domestic transport companies, thus, lose orders.
