While ongoing supply chain disruptions and enduring inflation are causing pain points, the current environment can create business opportunities for transportation service providers (TSPs), according to a new industry report released by the Supply Chain & Logistics Services investment banking team from Brown Gibbons Lang & Company (BGL).

The report examines the factors that will lead TSPs to broaden their service profile and modal approach, how government mandates will impact service providers, and the opportunities that exist for the domestic transportation sector.

“While we recognize the pressure higher prices bring, supply chain disruptions coupled with a prolonged inflationary environment can create opportunities, especially as these factors are compounded by environmental and regulatory mandates, which we think will result in a new wave of M&A activity within the transportation, logistics, and supply chain sector,” said Craig Decker, Managing Director and lead banker for the Supply Chain & Logistics Services investment banking team at BGL.

Key takeaways include:

  • How the housing shortage, inflated interest rate environment, supply chain disruptions, and government mandates are impacting the transportation and logistics markets
  • The key factors that will lead to enhanced M&A activity across the sector
  • How TSPs can use acquisitions to create value-added capabilities

BGL’s Supply Chain & Logistics and Transportation teams have extensive experience across the sector and have developed deep relationships with key industry executives and private equity partners. BGL’s comprehensive understanding of the drivers shaping the transportation and logistics industry has resulted in the execution of numerous transactions in trucking and logistics, maritime and offshore, transportation infrastructure, supply chain, and passenger transport.
