The Colombia Road Freight Transport Market size is estimated at USD 8.86 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 12.17 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.54% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
In most low and middle-income countries, trucking is the main method of freight. Road travel is the main mode of transportation in Colombia. The road freight market is driven by the growth of exports from the agricultural sector. The structure of the road freight industry in Colombia is complex and fragmented.
COVID-19 has positively impacted Colombia's road freight market. Due to the lockdown in the country, people started purchasing goods online. The country has 164,000 kilometers of roads, 86% of which have not been paved but are still in use and development. With total revenue of USD 8.156 billion, the road segment category was the most profitable part of the industry in 2019. It was equivalent to 83.5% of the total value of the industry.
The road freight market is highly dependent on the imports and exports in Colombia. Petroleum is Colombia's main export product, accounting for more than 45% of Colombia's exports. Manufacturing accounts for almost 12% of Colombia's exports, and it is growing at a rate of more than 10% every year.
Colombia Road Freight Transport Market Trends
Rising Investment in the Transport and Logistics Sector
Colombia has made considerable progress in expanding its air and seaport capacity, and the country's ambitious road construction plans seem to be back on track after a series of delays. Also, the government is trying to reform the legal framework of the industry to better promote private investment, while the municipality is committed to improving urban and rural mobility. Nevertheless, Colombia's gradual integration into the international economy and the development of mature global value chains have put pressure on the country's transportation system. Insufficient historical investment levels, coupled with increasing demand from companies and consumers and difficult geographic conditions in the country, have resulted in a huge infrastructure gap. The purpose of the government is to close the gap and promote economic growth. According to data from the Ministry of Transport (MoT), the transportation of goods within the country is mainly carried by roads. Although the investment in road freight transport and logistics is increasing, the investment in each field is not consistent.
