New Transportation market report from Business Monitor International: "Czech Republic Freight Transport Report Q4 2014"

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 10/07/2014 --Following a year of mixed growth dynamics in different freight transport modes, BMI believes that 2014 will signal increasing volumes across the whole sector in line with improving economic outlook.

Total trade is projected to pick up in real terms, with our Country Risk desk forecasting a year-on-year (y-o-y) increase of 8.26% in 2014 following a growth of 0.33% in 2013.

Road freight is to continue to dominate the sector and is projected to grow by 5% in 2014. The mode, however, did not manage to defy the downturn and the European Union (EU) pledges of a decrease in road haulage across the region, with freight volumes expected to remain well below its 2007 level.

BMI notes that rail is the likeliest candidate in Czech Republic's freight transport mix to benefit from any diversification away from road.

Headline Industry Data

- 2014 air freight is expected to grow by 4.6%
- 2014 rail freight is forecast to grow by 2.6%
- 2014 road freight is forecast to grow by 5.1%
- 2014 inland waterway freight is forecast to grow by 2.4%
- 2014 total real trade growth is forecast at 8.3%.
