Market Segmentation

By Road, Rail, Air and Sea Freight

Being a landlocked country, the sea freight comes to Kenya or Tanzania and then is transported to Uganda by road. Road fright has the maximum revenue percentage share in freight forwarding however it has experienced a negative CAGR. Road freight is majorly used for international services as the cargo needs to be brought into the landlocked country. Railways despite being the cheapest mode of transportation, costing half of the road transportation, aren’t widely used due to its poor connectivity.

By Domestic and International Freight

International Freight holds a higher percentage revenue share than domestic freight. The country has a number of FTAs allowing it to grow with international trade. Majority of the cargo which is brought into the country comes into the capital Kampala and then the cargo gets distributed to various cities within the county.

The Mombasa-Kampala highway is used the most for transportation. In the year 2017-18, it accounted for the majority share of the revenue in the Uganda freight forwarding market. The major modes of transport that are used for domestic

By Flow Corridors

The Asian region consisting of China, India, Japan, Indonesia, and other countries has the maximum revenue share in 2017/18.  The other flow corridors include Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa region, Middle East, North America, European regions and others.  Coffee is exported the most accounting for 22% of the total value exporter in 2017. Other products include mineral ores, plastics, pharmaceutical products, and vegetable oils. Uganda is a part of the East African Community enabling them to have trade with the rest of the world.

By End Users

The main end-users for the freight forwarding market include Food, Beverage and Consumer Retail, Automotive Industry, Healthcare, and others. Its major demand comes from products such as Coffee, Spices, Tea, Sugar, and Fish among others. Healthcare Logistics is still a growing industry and companies are increasing their distribution points all across Africa in order to promote this further. The government had contributed only 30% of the total expenditure in 2016 towards the healthcare sector. It has plans to increase investment in the healthcare sector in the future.

By Contract Logistics and Integrated Logistics

The logistics market of Uganda is concentrated among a few international major players. Despite their operating size and reach, they often outsource certain orders to fulfill the demand. The smaller companies do not have the capacity to fulfill their orders and indulge in third party logistics. The strong relationship between shippers and 3PL providers, and the significance of emerging technologies, including blockchain and automation have allowed the third-party logistics market to flourish in the country.

Competitive Landscape

The competition within the Freight Forwarding Market of Uganda is highly concentrated amongst international players. The domestic players have a relatively lesser share in the overall market.

New technologies such as Asycuda World, GPD tracking have been adopted which keep a track of the cargo transported thereby preventing the loss and allowing timely delivery of all the cargo.
