Transport Industry in Zambia in 2022: Economic Environment, Rising Input Costs and Private Sector Initiatives


Dublin, March 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Transport in Zambia 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Zambia is a landlocked country and depends on a strong and efficient transport system for the smooth transit of exports and imports and growth of its economy. However, economic conditions and poor maintenance of transport infrastructure mean that this industry faces significant challenges, and requires further investment.

The 923m Kazungula Bridge across the Zambezi river and one-stop border post facilities opened on 10 May 2021, aimed at easing the flow of trade and people between Botswana and Zambia. It will also provide alternative trade routes between SADC countries, and relieve some pressure off the Beitbridge border post between South Africa and Zimbabwe.

Africa's air traffic dropped by 65.2% in 2021, and by 89% in 2020. While transport by air remains relatively small, there has been significant activity in the sub-sector. Private players have filled the gap left by the national airline which suspended services in 2009. The airline relaunched in December 2021.

During the pandemic, private airlines converted a portion of their fleet to carry freight and bulk-cargo to make up for the decline in passengers. Airport infrastructure has improved in recent years with the aim of connecting various economic zones with increased trade and passenger mobility. All four international airports have received infrastructural upgrades, some of which are still being completed.

The report covers the Zambian Transport Industry, which includes road, rail, air, water and pipeline transport systems for passengers, freight, cargo, and crude oil. The report includes country information, developments, regulations and corporate actions and the factors that influence the industry, including the pandemic, infrastructure development, economic challenges and fuel costs.

There are profiles of 30 companies including rail company The Tanzania Zambia Railway Authority and TAZAMA pipelines. Road Transport companies profiled include DSV, Freight and Passenger Services and Greendoor Group, and air transport companies profiled include Corporate Air, Royal Air Charters and Proflight Commuter Services.
