Industry Economic Analysis
$575.00
- Costs—Rising labour and operating costs (due to rising employment and higher fuel prices) will push total costs up this year, lowering industry profits.
- Canadian Dollar—Commodity prices, driven higher by growing demand in emerging economies, are expected to keep the Canadian dollar strong, detracting from demand growth for transportation services.
- Warehouse Demand—With the economy decelerating, many businesses will likely delay their expansion plans. That will reduce aggregate demand for warehouse space in the coming months.
