The report takes a data-driven approach that targets major areas of interest to government and the freight sector. These include:

  • barriers to entry
  • competition
  • profit levels and margins
  • investment
  • financial indicators
  • fleet operations
  • market resilience

While focusing on the UK road freight market, the report makes relevant comparisons with other international markets and with other UK modes and sectors.

The report was produced by the Ipsos-AtkinsRealis-Steer consortium.
