Since early 2021, inflation has consistently exceeded the Federal Reserve’s target of 2 percent. Using a combination of data, economic theory, and narrative information around historical events, we empirically assess what has caused persistently elevated inflation. Our estimates suggest that both aggregate demand and supply factors, including supply chain disruptions, have contributed significantly to high inflation.

The Freight Road Transport industry operates the most extensive transport network of all freight modes, providing much-needed flexibility and the possibility of door-to-door haulage. Last-mile deliveries, which transport goods from rail and sea haulage facilities and distribution hubs, also provide a steady source of revenue that’s resistant to competition from substitutes. The performance of road haulage is reliant on demand from key markets, including retail and manufacturing. Global disruptions, like the Russia-Ukraine conflict, have hampered demand and sent operational costs soaring during the past five years, compounded by ongoing inflationary pressure affecting consumer spending. This has had a direct impact on the revenue prospects of freight road transport companies, contributing to significant revenue volatility. The surge in e-commerce since the pandemic has given the industry a lifeline, helping facilitate a strong recovery from pandemic lows that decimated the need for road haulage services. Still, stagnant UK economic growth has hindered revenue prospects, as retail sales remain stagnant in the face of inflationary pressure tightening consumer purse strings. Global supply chain disruptions and low business confidence have also significantly affected demand from the manufacturing and construction sectors, leading to a heavy reliance on e-commerce among hauliers. Overall, revenue is anticipated to edge up at a compound annual rate of just 0.5% over the five years through 2025-26 to £37.9 billion. In 2025-26, revenue is anticipated to drop by 2%, attributed to lingering inflationary pressures and demand uncertainties following the 2025 Autumn Budget. A shortage of qualified drivers and record-high fuel prices have inflated input costs and hampered profitability. Although cost-cutting strategies, like fuel hedging and the adoption of electric vehicles, have helped alleviate cost pressures, profit remains subdued. Revenue is slated to climb at a compound annual rate of 1.5% in the five years through 2030-31 to £40.9 billion. As economic conditions improve in the coming years, freight volumes are expected to increase in tandem with rising consumer and business confidence. Growing disposable incomes will continue to support the expansion of e-commerce, while rising business confidence will stimulate demand from the manufacturing and construction markets. Labour shortages are likely to persist, keeping wage costs under pressure; however, increased investment in automation by leading companies like Wincanton and DHL will help alleviate this. The UK’s commitment to net-zero emissions is also set to transform the industry, leading to the ongoing adoption of electric HGVs and more fuel-efficient investments, positioning hauliers for a cleaner and more efficient future.
