Restraining Factors

The increase in the price of diesel fuel and other fuels directly affects logistics firms' cost of operations, increasing the cost of freight transport. Since fuel is a key expense for trucking firms, increased costs have the potential to lower profit margins and compel businesses to increase freight rates or lower operating costs. Additionally, environmental regulations, including the European Union's stringent emissions standards and urban-wide low-emission districts, raise further challenges for the industry.

Market Segmentation
