Research and Markets: Transport and Logistics Financial Deals Quarterly Roundup

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/05bcca/transport_and_logi) has announced the addition of the "Transport and Logistics Financial Deals Quarterly Roundup" report to their offering.

The drive to improve scale and profits combined with a highly fragmented market have resulted in continued M&A in the Transport and Logistics sector. The quarterly Financial Deal Insights series provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of this activity in this sector. It offers a unique insight into both deal activity, deal rationale and the market fundamentals driving the sector.

Scope

• An assessment of recent M&A activity in the Transport and Logistics sector throughout the world.
• An evaluation of the trends both within the Transport and Logistics sector as a whole, as well as individual deals.

Highlights of this title

The global banking crisis and subsequent imminent recessions in western markets continue to negatively impact deal-making in the transportation and logistics (T&L) sector.

Despite the general financial and economic problems as well as contraction within the transport and logistics industry, the number of deals has not decreased dramatically and there are still opportunities for companies to make strategic investments.

The value of deals within the maritime segment has increased compared with the previous quarter and also compared with the third quarter of 2007.
