Description

Introduction

The drive to improve scale and profits combined with a highly fragmented market have resulted in continued M&A in the Transport and Logistics sector. Datamonitor's monthly Financial Deal Insights series provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of this activity in this sector. It offers a unique insight into both deal activity, deal rationale and the market fundamentals driving the sector.

Scope

An assessment of recent M&A activity in the Transport and Logistics sector throughout the world. An evaluation of the trends both within the Transport and Logistics sector as a whole, as well as individual deals.

Highlights

The rate of M&A activity in the Transport and Logistics industry has increased in 2007, and will continue to rise in 2008 as a result of the current environment and the requirement for global supply chains and one-stop logistics shops. The number of deals, both large and small, has been significant in H2 2007 and this brand of consolidation within the industry has created more opportunities for companies to offer a wider portfolio of transport services to their customers across different geographies. The advent of capital being poured into the Transport and Logistics markets and this rush of investors is not specific to a single transport mode or service; there is demand for different types of players, from SCM technology providers to traditional air-freight forwarders and trucking companies.
