Road freight will continue as the overwhelmingly dominant freight mode in Thailand over the medium term, accounting for 87.89% of the overall freight mix by the end of 2022. Inland waterways will be the second-most utilised freight mode in Thailand across the medium term, accounting for 9.39% of the total freight mix in 2022. Rail freight is also important, particularly for the country's heavy industries, but infrastructure capacity limitations mean that rail usage only accounts for just over 2.0% of the total freight mix. Air freight’s proportion will remain negligible over the forecast period. A relaxation of rules and regulations relating to exports from Thailand should improve the ease of trade in Thailand, which should translate into smoother logistics processes in the country going forward.

The return to growth for Saudi Arabia’s all-important oil sector coupled with a strengthening of non-oil activity will ease the country out of recession over the course of 2018, underpinning a positive performance for the kingdom’s freight industry. The ongoing economic diversification efforts to reorient the economy towards non-hydrocarbons and high capital investments supporting construction and infrastructure development will maintain the relatively steady growth across the freight modes between 2018 and 2022.

Historically, road freight has always dominated the freight sector. Rail freight has been important, although it has historically only accounted for just below 20% of the freight mix. The importance comes from a combination of the country's geography, the economic importance of commodity production and heavy industry in Russia, as well as by the limitations of other transportation networks. Russia is characterised by significant distances both between population centres and between suppliers of raw materials and their intermediate or end customers, which naturally benefits the development of rail freight. Russia's road freight is the fifth longest in the world after the US, India, China and Brazil. Historically, road network development has been of minor importance for the government. Little has changed in the freight mix over the past decade. Only road freight has increased its share slightly on the back of growing consumer purchasing power, whereas the other modes have remained unchanged.

Road freight like in many countries is the dominant freight mode in Panama and will continue to be so in 2018 and over the the course of our forecast period ending 2022. Strong canal usage will support and bolster all freight modes. Road freight has been steadily increasing its influence in Panama, rising from a 95.5% share in 2011 to a 96.6% share in 2018. Air freight and rail have shrunk, but that has not diminished their importance. The low fuel costs and flexibility offered by road have contributed to the speed and cost benefits of this form of transport, while lack of investment in the railways further weakened the rail stronghold.

Road freight is the dominant mode in the Namibian freight mix and will remain so well beyond our forecast period. This mode benefits from the highest level of transport infrastructure, not only in Namibia, but in the region, ranking an impressive 31st in the World Economic Forum's 2017-2018 Global Competitiveness Report. Road freight will account for 97.9% of all freight handled within the country in 2018, and we see little scope for this changing over the forecast period.
