Scope of this report

throughout the world.

as a whole, as well as individual deals.
Research and analysis 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.
