ARLINGTON, Va. 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --
After a dip during the Great Recession, the U.S. freight economy, particularly for trucking, is projected to grow significantly in the years ahead, according to American Trucking Associations' U.S. Freight Transportation Forecast to 2022.
The Forecast, the product of a collaboration between ATA, IHS Global Insight and Martin Labbe Associates, lays out the current state of the freight economy where trucking is the leading mode of transportation and projects an even more robust role for trucks in the future.
"The trucking industry continues to dominate the freight transportation industry in terms of both tonnage and revenue, comprising 67% of tonnage and 81% of revenue in 2010," ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello wrote in this year's forecast.
Overall, total freight tonnage is expected to grow by 24% by 2022, and revenue for the freight transportation industry is projected to rise 66% in that same timeframe. Trucking's share of that market will rise to 70% by 2022, though the industry's share of freight revenues will only increase to 81.4% from 81.2%.
In other surface modes, rail's overall share of tonnage will fall to 14.6% in 2022 from 15.3% in the baseline year of 2010. However, intermodal tonnage will rise 6.6% a year between 2011 and 2016, and 5.5% annually through 2022. Revenues for intermodal transportation will jump from $11.1 billion in 2010 to $30.7 billion in 2022.
