For many involved in the logistics industry 2012 was a year of optimistic growth, however, despite the global economic upturn, 2013 proved to be more difficult. As a result, the start of 2014 has brought with it mixed economic indicators and consequently the prospects for the logistics industry remain uncertain.

Global Transport and Logistics Financial Analysis 2014 offers unique and unrivaled insight in to the financial structure and performance of the world's largest transport and logistics companies through a range of financial ratios.

At the low point of the global recession the industry had lost over 15% of its revenues and profits had fallen to 2.2% in December 2009. Since 2010 revenues flattened and moved upward in 2012 before turning downward again in 2013.

The report uses a series of financial ratios to highlight the current position and trends seen over the past two years. There are also comparisons of how performance has changed over the long term (six years) and the medium term (three years). The choice of these periods is that six years ago pre-global recession 2008 was considered to be the last period of normality' and late 2010 is generally considered the time when normality' returned.
