The transport services market is expected to grow to $9,773.16 billion in 2016 at a CAGR of 8.0%.
Faster Economic Growth: The transportation services market's growth is aided by the stable economic growth forecasted in many developed and developing countries. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that global GDP growth will be 3.3% in 2020 and 3.4% in 2021. Recovering commodity prices, after a significant decline in the historical period, are further expected to aid the market's growth. Developed economies are also expected to register stable growth during the forecast period. Additionally, emerging markets are expected to continue to grow slightly faster than developed markets in the forecast period. Stable economic growth is expected to increase investments in end-user markets, thereby driving the market during the forecast period.
The outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the transportation services market in 2020 as governments imposed lockdowns and restricted the movement of people and goods to contain the transmission. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People's Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in economic activity, with countries entering a state of "lock down" and harming businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, the transportation services market has started recovering from the shock.
