Key highlights
Increase in passengers and freight traffic to drive GVA growth
Globally, transport and logistics GVA recorded a CAGR of 2.6%, from US$3.2tn in 2012 to US$3.7tn in 2017, and is anticipated to post a CAGR of 5.7%, from US$3.9tn in 2018 to US$4.8tn in 2022. The increase is primarily due to the expansion of freight traffic and volume in the US, China and India.
Lack of modernization leading to decline in rail freight volume
Rail freight in South and Central America recorded a CAGR of 2.9%, rising from 310.5 billion ton kms in 2012 to 358.2 billion ton kms in 2017. It is anticipated to post a CAGR of 3.7%, rising from 369.2 billion ton kms in 2018 to 426.9 billion ton kms in 2022. The increase will is primarily be due to strong growth in the rail freight segment in Brazil due to a demand for iron ore, one of Brazil’s main exports.
Increase in the number of air passengers to drive active fleet growth
In Argentina, the active fleet size recorded a CAGR of 18.6% from 43 aircraft in 2012 to 101 in 2017, and is forecast to post a CAGR of 9.0%, from 126 units in 2018 to 161 in 2022. Growth can be primarily attributed to an increase in procurement by airlines such as Aerolineas Argentinas due to the rising volume of passengers.
