[Report Description]

The Canadian freight and logistics market is expected to observe strong growth over the forecast period, owing to the high performance of the rail freight segment. The booming e-commerce industry and growth in the construction, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries may drive the market.



Key Highlights


  • In 2018, 19.8 million e-commerce users were active in Canada. Additionally, the e-commerce penetration may further increase the demand in the logistics industry.

  • The international arm of the United Kingdom’s Royal Mail PLC bought the Canadian parcel delivery company, Dicom Canada, in September 2018, for CAD 360 million (GBP 214 million), adding to its growing operations in a number of US states and across Europe, showing that the courier segment of the market is expected to further grow and witness international business interest.



Key Market Trends



The Rail Freight Segment is Observing Steady Growth



In 2018, rail freight traffic, measured in revenue ton mile, increased by 6.1% from 2017 and by 6.0% compared to the 2013-2017 average. On a Y-o-Y basis, the rail freight sector’s workload, measured in gross ton mile, increased by 6.2% and by 10.15 compared with the five-year average. The distance traveled by Canada’s freight trains, measured in freight train mile, increased by 5.4% to 68.6 million in 2018 as compared to 2017. In 2018, the total intermodal traffic that originated in Canada increased by 1.85 from 2017, as Canadian class 1 railways transported more trailers and containers.



Additionally, in 2018, the number of carloads from Canada increased by 15.85% to a new record-high value of 6.1 million, and the growth was led by manufacturing and miscellaneous shipments and intermodal freight.



The Rail Association of Canada (RAC) tracks 11 commodity groupings moved by freight railways in Canada. In 2018, intermodal goods, minerals, fuels, and chemicals were the largest groupings of carloads transported via Canada’s railways, accounting for 67% of all carloads. Based on the number of carloads moved, the highest increases among commodity groupings in 2018 were manufactured and miscellaneous (56.2%), intermodal (20.2%), and machinery and automotive (13.2%). The only decline was in food products (1.1%).



Strong Trade Results in 2018



Canada’s goods exports continued to grow in 2018, up 6.5% to $585 billion, with export prices increasing by 2.2% and export volumes expanding by 4.1%. Concurrently, Canada’s goods imports advanced 5.8% to $607 billion, as both import prices and import volumes increased, up 2.4% and 3.3%, respectively. As a result, total goods trade reached a record high of $1.2 trillion. Moreover, since exports outpaced imports in 2018, Canada’s goods trade deficit narrowed by $2.7 billion to $22 billion.



Canadian goods exports grew in 2018 for the second consecutive year, with export up in all sectors, except motor vehicles and parts. Energy exports growth led the way, advancing $14 billion, or 15%, to reach $111 billion in value, followed by consumer goods (+ $3.6 billion) and forestry, building and packaging products (+ $3.4 billion). Canada’s goods imports rose 5.8%, or $33 billion, to $607 billion in 2018. Imports increased in all sectors, led by metal ores and minerals, energy products, and aircraft and other transportation equipment—all of which posted double-digit growth rates.



Competitive Landscape



The Canadian freight and logistics market is expected to be fragmented, with the presence of a large number of players. The market is expected to witness increasing competition due to the growing volume of trade in Canada.
