Overview of the full truckload transportation market in North America
According to Technavio’s research analysis, the declining oil prices will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the full truckload transportation market in North America till 2021. The fuel costs are one of the key factors that needs high attention in the trucking industry. The declining fuel prices across the globe due to the lower crude oil costs has largely benefitted the trucking companies. Moreover, the year-over-year growth rate reduced by nearly 50% compared with the value in 2015. Such a sharp decrease has led the trucking companies to plan their operations based on the demand rather than the fuel savings. The low cost has also resulted in better profit numbers for logistics companies. This decline in the fuel cost will propel the growth of the full truckload transportation market in North America during the forecast period. Our market research analysts predict that this market will register a revenue of more than USD 461 billion by 2021.
The rising popularity of RFID tags is one of the key trends that will contribute to the market growth in the forthcoming years. The rise in utilization of RFID tags lowers the time for freight companies to detect trucks at numerous locations, such as warehouse gates or cross-border gates. Other applications, such as capturing the arrival and departure time of a truck or including a reader at the fueling depot helps companies track the fuel consumption of vehicles. These advantages will increase the implementation of RFID tags by trucking companies in the future.
