Research and Markets: A China Freight Transport Report for Q3 2011 - Chinese Air Cargo Volumes Forecasted to Increase by 5.9% in 2011

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/800c5c/china_freight_tran) has announced the addition of the "China Freight Transport Report Q3 2011" report to their offering.

Business Monitor International's China Freight Transport Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, freight transportation associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on China's freight transportation industry.

Market Overview:

This year, China is seeing continued growth across its freight transport sector, after the robust recovery in China's trade and freight volumes in 2010.

The main driver for growth is the country's international trade with the Country Risk desk forecasting a real increase in China's total trade of 5.4% in 2011 following last year's recovery-fuelled growth, which was estimated at 28.9%.

Road freight continues to dominate the sector, with tonnage carried projected to grow by 4.9% in 2011; however, this report notes that China's rail network sector is undergoing a major expansion both domestically and abroad with the next few years expected to see a growth in rail freight links to neighbouring countries.

This report cautions that the growth in China's rail network threatens the market share of the country's airfreight sector which has been struggling with overcapacity in recent months. Nevertheless, BMI forecasts growth in China's air cargo volumes to increase by 5.9% in 2011 partly as a result of companies expanding direct flight routes between China and Europe.
