Demand for wholesalers of aircraft, marine and railroad transportation equipment has experienced significant volatility. Still, economic expansion contributed to revenue growth during most of the period, as increased air travel and marine and railroad transportation encouraged sales of relevant equipment and supplies. The pandemic caused substantial disruption for the industry, with revenue declining 4.6% in 2020 alone. Subsequently, because of a recovering economy and reduction of travel restrictions, transportation demand rose – helping the industry resume expansion. Resilient economic growth has helped support equipment sales in recent years. Industry-wide revenue is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% to an expected $82.7 billion through the end of 2024, with anticipated growth of 4.8% during 2024 alone. Profit is forecast to remain robust thanks to strong downstream activity.
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 5.2 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $86.9bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
