Rising demand for foreign goods in Indonesia, Thailand, and India imported from North America is driving the growth of the transport sector

  • Major North American ports are witnessing a decline in cargo container volumes, returning to pre-pandemic levels. Following a peak in 2022, volumes dropped by 18.6% YoY in the first half of 2023. Labor issues added to the challenge. While West Coast ports secured a labor agreement in early 2023, port workers in Western Canada went on strike in July. The strike had a significant impact on the Port of Vancouver, which only resolved after 13 days. In contrast, Manzanillo, Mexico, saw a notable YoY growth of 7.2% in container volumes in Q2 2023. Over the past five years, Manzanillo's volume surged by 24%, benefiting from the nearshoring trend adopted by several US firms alongside the port of Lazaro Cardenas.
  • The North American logistics market is being fueled by the rising demand for foreign goods, especially in emerging economies like Indonesia, Thailand, and India. This demand, particularly for imports from North America, is a key growth driver. In 2022, the market witnessed an expansion driven by heightened trade volumes. North American exports climbed to USD 3.23 trillion in 2022, up from USD 2.75 trillion in 2021. Simultaneously, imports surged to USD 4.54 trillion in 2022, rising from USD 3.93 trillion in 2021.
  • In 2022, the US committed to achieving 30% nationwide sales of zero-emission trucks by 2030, with a further goal of 100% by 2040. In line with this, in 2023, Republic Services, a leading waste disposal and environmental services firm, unveiled its first fully integrated electric recycling and waste collection truck. The company had plans to introduce two more fully integrated electric recycling and garbage truck prototypes in 2023.

Enhancing the North American freight & logistics industry through government investments from the United States (USD 31 million), Canada (USD 2.3 billion), and Mexico (USD 44 billion)

  • By December 2023, the transborder freight value in North America, across all transportation modes, reached USD 121.6 billion, marking a marginal 0.1% YoY decline. Freight between the US and Canada amounted to USD 61.1 billion, showing a 0.7% YoY increase, while freight between the US and Mexico totaled USD 60.4 billion, experiencing a 0.9% YoY dip. Of the overall freight, trucks accounted for USD 73.2 billion, railways moved USD 16.4 billion, vessels transported USD 11 billion, pipelines carried USD 9.1 billion, and air freight amounted to USD 4.6 billion.
  • In Canada's transportation markets in 2022, air transportation comprised 848 businesses, with Ontario hosting 244, British Columbia 192, Quebec 124, and Alberta 94. Rail transportation had 275 businesses, with Ontario leading at 83, followed by Quebec (53), Alberta (36), and Saskatchewan (36). Water transportation had 281 businesses, with British Columbia leading at 124, trailed by Quebec (56) and Ontario (41). Road transportation dominated with 52,140 businesses, with Ontario (25,198), Quebec (9,325), Alberta (6,855), and British Columbia (4,867) taking the lead. Pipeline transportation had the fewest businesses, numbering 123, primarily in Alberta (63) and Ontario (18).
  • In October 2022, the US Department of Transportation allocated about USD 31 million to bolster cargo infrastructure and fortify the supply chain. In a bid to modernize rail infrastructure, the US government pledged USD 1.4 billion in 2022. Mexico's government unveiled a USD 44 billion plan for 2020-2024, with a key focus on transportation infrastructure, as part of the National Private Sector Infrastructure Investment Agreement. Canada's government channeled over USD 2.3 billion into the National Trade Corridors Fund to bolster freight transportation.

North America Freight And Logistics Market Trends

Transportation and storage sector soars 18% YoY in 2022 due to to e-commerce and infrastructure investments

  • The transportation and storage sector in North America experienced a growth of 21% YoY in 2021 and 18% YoY in 2022 due to rising demand for warehouse and distribution centers for e-commerce. In 2022, the US Department of Transportation unveiled the Port Infrastructure Development Program, allocating over USD 703 million for 41 projects spanning 22 states to enhance port capabilities, supply chain reliability, and job prospects.
  • Transportation and warehousing contributed a GDP of MXN 1.84 trillion (USD 0.094 trillion) during the third quarter of 2022, marking a 0.62% quarterly increase and a substantial 21.3% surge compared to the previous year's corresponding period. The Infrastructure, Communications, and Transport Ministry, in collaboration with the public and private sectors, committed investments totaling MXN 768 billion (USD 39.38 billion) in 2022 to enhance Mexico's road and rail infrastructure. This comprehensive effort aims to modernize railways, highways, and bridges while also addressing road safety enhancements.
  • In North America, the United States is the largest contributor to the GDP of the transportation and storage sector, accounting for 86% of the total North American transportation and storage sector's GDP. The United States contributes six times the combined value of Canada and Mexico. The Canadian government provided an additional CAD 1.9 billion (USD 1.46 billion) to the National Trade Corridors Fund over four years (2021-2025), which may spur investments in much-needed improvements to Canada's roads, rails, and shipping routes, build long-term resilience for the Canadian economy, and support internal trade.

Rising tensions in the Middle East are expected to affect crude oil supplies and lead to sudden price hikes in the region

  • In 2023, US retail gasoline prices dropped by USD 0.43/gallon (gal) YoY, mainly due to lower crude oil prices and increased gasoline inventories in H2 2023. The average price was USD 3.52/gal, hitting a high of USD 3.88/gal in mid-September 2023 and USD 3.05/gal by the 2023 year-end. This decline was a result of lower crude oil prices in 2023 compared to 2022. Gasoline prices surged after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, but they dropped in late 2023 due to increased refinery production and higher inventories. Refinery maintenance and low inventories caused higher prices in August and September 2023.
  • The increase in fuel prices affected the trucking operational costs in North America. The impact is more evident in Mexico, where about 80% of trucks are managed by small trucking companies or owner-operators. The increase in natural gas prices in the United States will inevitably spread to Mexico's gas and power markets. However, Mexico imports 80% of its fuel from the United States. Still, gas and diesel cost less in Mexico because the Mexican government offers subsidies to the trucking industry to offset operating expenses. A weaker-than-expected supply response in the United States, combined with high natural gas demand in domestic and export markets, is expected to increase the prices further.
  • In Canada, gasoline prices rose 0.8% YoY in February 2024. In North America, strong crude oil production is expected to continue in the coming years. Also, as more Canadian crude oil is expected to reach global markets with the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion coming online, there will be amply supplied crude oil markets. However, increased risks due to rising tensions in the Middle East are expected to affect crude oil supplies and lead to sudden price hikes.

  • Major North American ports are witnessing a decline in cargo container volumes, returning to pre-pandemic levels. Following a peak in 2022, volumes dropped by 18.6% YoY in the first half of 2023. Labor issues added to the challenge. While West Coast ports secured a labor agreement in early 2023, port workers in Western Canada went on strike in July. The strike had a significant impact on the Port of Vancouver, which only resolved after 13 days. In contrast, Manzanillo, Mexico, saw a notable YoY growth of 7.2% in container volumes in Q2 2023. Over the past five years, Manzanillo's volume surged by 24%, benefiting from the nearshoring trend adopted by several US firms alongside the port of Lazaro Cardenas.
  • The North American logistics market is being fueled by the rising demand for foreign goods, especially in emerging economies like Indonesia, Thailand, and India. This demand, particularly for imports from North America, is a key growth driver. In 2022, the market witnessed an expansion driven by heightened trade volumes. North American exports climbed to USD 3.23 trillion in 2022, up from USD 2.75 trillion in 2021. Simultaneously, imports surged to USD 4.54 trillion in 2022, rising from USD 3.93 trillion in 2021.
  • In 2022, the US committed to achieving 30% nationwide sales of zero-emission trucks by 2030, with a further goal of 100% by 2040. In line with this, in 2023, Republic Services, a leading waste disposal and environmental services firm, unveiled its first fully integrated electric recycling and waste collection truck. The company had plans to introduce two more fully integrated electric recycling and garbage truck prototypes in 2023.
