Freight Transport by Road in South Africa

Global demand for South African commodities has increased exponentially and supply chain management and logistics, including warehousing and road transport, are the vital ingredients needed for successful economic recovery. The road freight sector is, however, facing disruptions such as border and port congestion, violent assaults on drivers and torching of trucks, in-transit and warehouse cargo theft, rapidly deteriorating road infrastructure and increasing operating costs caused by volatile and fluctuating fuel prices and foreign exchange rates. The industry performed strongly in 2022, with volumes transported increasing significantly and it continues to benefit from the ongoing underperformance of the rail industry.

Commodity Boom Effect

South Africa is experiencing a record trade surplus in the wake of the pandemic. Key commodity and products are agricultural commodities, manufactured goods including local machinery and equipment as well as motor vehicles and mining outputs. About 85% of all exports are transported by road to ports or airports for export outside the country. An increase in exports has a significant effect on volumes transported by road, especially given the incapacity of rail to absorb higher exports, especially of mined commodities.

Competition

There is a high degree of concentration among the leading players, with less than 10 companies controlling over 40% of the overall regional road-based logistics market. The two largest operators control more than 80% of the domestic market, while hold significant market share. The largest commercial vehicle rental companies are Unitrans and Fuel Group.

Report Coverage

This report focuses on the transport of freight by road, with comprehensive information on the state and size of the sector, including volumes transported, number of heavy vehicles, corporate actions and developments including financial and operating results. There are profiles of 31 companies including major industry players such as Imperial Logistics, Super Group and Barloworld Logistics, foreign-owned companies such as Maersk and removals and storage businesses such as Biddulphs.

Freight Transport by Road in South Africa

Government has announced planned interventions to reform the rail sector to make it more effective, efficient and competitive, but road continues to be the transport mode for the majority of goods. The road freight industry faces many challenges including reduced demand due to pressure on consumer spending, high input costs, competition from e-commerce platforms, labour demands, pressure by customers to reduce transport costs, automation and new technologies, border post and port congestion and excess capacity. The industry is responding by using technology to improve efficiencies and reduce costs, by spreading risk, using flexible distribution models and decentralising operations.

Coronavirus

The effect of the pandemic on the operations and revenue of the road freight and warehousing sector has been mixed. The benefits of providing warehousing and transportation for sectors such as healthcare and consumer goods was offset by the negative effect of protocol compliance requirements, lower volumes requiring transportation, movement restrictions and border post congestion. The volume of freight transported by road decreased in 2020.

Opportunities

Businesses in this industry range from large companies to small family businesses and owner-driver operations. Owner-driver schemes offer opportunities for new entrants to the industry. Increasing use of e-commerce opens opportunities for the parcel and courier industry, while there are also opportunities in the removals industry and for companies that provide flexible and customised services to meet specific needs.

Report Coverage

This report covers the transport of freight by road, including furniture removals, and excludes the operation of terminal facilities, crating and packing for transport purposes, and delivery departments of warehouses operated by business concerns for their own use. The report includes information on the size and state of the industry and factors that influence it such as road conditions and infrastructure, driver behaviour, government and private sector initiatives, innovation, environmental issues and crime. There are comprehensive profiles of 31 companies including major players such as Barloworld Logistics Africa, Bidvest Freight and Imperial Logistics, as well as various companies involved in merger and acquisition activity such as Super Group, which bought Cargo Works and OneLogix, which bought Siyaduma Auto Ferriers.

Freight Transport by Road

South Africa’s major logistics companies are finding the weak economic climate to be a major challenge, with a slowdown in manufacturing and mining production and consumer spending resulting in pressure on volumes. The Statistics SA Land Transport Survey shows that the seasonally adjusted volume of freight transported by road increased by 9.5% in 2018, but decreased by 4.3% in the first quarter of 2019. Industry role players indicated that escalating fuel costs and a poor economic environment have placed pressure on customers and eroded margins.

Cost Pressure

The sector is affected by numerous cost increases including fuel prices, the Road Accident Fund levy and carbon tax. Delays at ports and border posts could have a significant impact on logistics costs. Additional costs include vehicle tracking and tracing systems, warehousing and distribution operating costs, municipal charges, escalating electricity costs, costs of compliance with legislation and standards and a proposed waste tyre recycling levy. Variable costs, or costs that can be controlled and reduced by operating and maintaining the vehicle professionally, represent 55% of a vehicle’s total operating costs.

Report Coverage

The detailed Freight Transport by Road report discusses current conditions including the road-to-rail migration initiative and the double-edged sword of digitisation that is disrupting the entire logistics industry, and other factors influencing the success of the sector. Profiles for 31 role players are provided. These range from small players such as Free State-based Ezethu Logistics (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of Cargo Carriers, to Imperial Holdings Ltd which owns 7,288 trucks and employs 31,741 people in the logistics arm of the business. In September 2017 the company announced that depending on market conditions during the course of 2018, it might split the company into two separate JSE-listed entities, Imperial Logistics and Motus.

Road Freight Transport

According to the Road Freight Association, businesses in this industry range from large corporates to small family businesses and owner-driver operations. The sector is characterised by the consolidation of logistics and transport companies and is dominated by large companies that offer flexible and integrated end-to-end supply chain management and logistics solutions for a wide variety of commodities to a wide variety of customers. These companies use a network of fixed fleet, specialist operating companies, subsidiaries, accredited sub-contractors and joint venture partners.

Economic Contribution

The road freight industry, an essential part of the supply chain process, stimulates the economy by transporting goods to a final destination for sale or export. Statistics South Africa’s estimate of a total outsourced road freight payload of 566 million tons and an income of R90.88bn for the ten months from January to October 2017 can be doubled as approximately 50% or more of freight in the country is insourced and is therefore not included in this figure. Although revenue for road freight operators increased an estimated 7.7% and there was a 5.6% rise in tonnage during 2017, the sector faces reduced demand due to low economic growth, uncertainty in the business and political arenas and ratings downgrades.

Report Coverage

The Freight Transport by Road report discusses current conditions, details the extensive M&A activity that has occurred in response to conditions and trends, and describes factors influencing the success of the industry. The report profiles 55 companies including large players such as Barloworld Ltd, Grindrod Ltd and Bidvest Freight (Pty Ltd as well as small companies such as Ethos Road and Transport Services CC which has 16 employees and transports aggregates used in road construction projects. Also profiled are companies active in the local furniture removals industry which is dominated by two players, The Laser Transport Group, which includes Stuttaford Van Lines, Pickfords Removals, AGS Frasers International Movers and Magna-Thomson International Movers, and Elliott Mobility (Pty) Ltd.

Road Freight Transport

This report focuses on the transport of freight by road, a sector which generated total income of more than R125bn in 2014, thus contributing approximately 3.7% to GDP. Statistics SA’s estimate of a total outsourced contract road freight payload of 574,560,000 tons for 2014 can be doubled as there is a 50/50 split between outsourced and in-sourced road freight transportation. In this highly competitive sector, industry players are optimising innovation and smart partnerships to develop more collaborative operations using multi-modal and intermodal transport options.

Challenging Conditions

As the road freight sector and the economy enjoy an interdependent and symbiotic relationship, the current weak economy, both globally and domestically, is having a negative effect on the volume of goods requiring transportation by road. As fuel remains the largest contributor to road transport costs and many inputs are imported, the weak rand dollar exchange rate is a matter of concern. With tight profit margins of an average 4%, role players are looking at ways to reduce soaring operational costs.

Legislative Changes

Also of concern to stakeholders is the impact of proposed changes in the regulatory environment. The implications of some of the regulations covered by the Amendments to the National Road Traffic Act are far-reaching and could result in an operational loss of up to 40%.
