Transportation & logistics (T&L) executives are generally fairly confident about the potential for short and long-term revenue growth, in line with their peers across industries. Confidence levels have declined somewhat in comparison with last year, perhaps reflecting concerns over a potential economic downturn in the US.
Respondents are more concerned about possible adverse effects on business growth as a result of terrorism, downturns in major economies, the security of the supply chain and over-regulation. They are less concerned about low-cost competition, lack of availability of key skills and intellectual property rights.
