South African transport sector in 2024
The South African transport and logistics sector is a vital component of the economy, projected to reach a market size of R 260 billion in 2024 and grow to R 375 billion by 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6,29%. This growth is fuelled by increasing freight volumes and the adoption of innovative multimodal transport solutions, highlighted by a 57% rise in air freight traffic at King Shaka Airport and a 12% increase in telematics systems. Ongoing privatisation efforts and international partnerships are set to transform port operations, enhancing South African ports’ roles in global shipping routes. These developments underscore the need for reliable commercial vehicles, like those offered by FAW Trucks, to support the sector’s expansion and ensure efficient logistics operations across the region.
