Global Hazardous Goods Logistics Market – Overview
Hazardous goods logistics refers to the transportation of dangerous items by air, sea, or land while using the utmost safety precautions. Transporting hazardous chemicals has the potential for groundwater and land pollution in the case of an accident. Additionally, it poses a health danger to both local wildlife and people. There are nine categories of hazardous goods assigned by the United Nations. Approximately 3,000 items and chemicals that are often delivered by air are listed in the Dangerous Goods Regulation Manual (DGR) by the International Air Transport Association.
Global Hazardous Goods Logistics Market – By Product
Based on product, the global hazardous goods logistics market is segmented into flammable, explosive, radioactive, bio-hazardous, and others. Flammable products account for the highest share of the global hazardous goods logistics market. The growth of this segment is mainly attributed to the flourishing trade of petroleum products such as crude oil, natural gas, and gasoline. These products are highly flammable and carry a high risk of accidents through leaks, explosions, and pollution. The high risk of accidents occurring during loading and unloading, combined with the loss of cargo and the expense of restoration due to environmental damage, is driving market growth.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Hazardous Goods Logistics Market
The COVID-19 pandemic halted the growth of the global hazardous goods logistics market due to the temporary restrictions on international trade and the cross-border supply of goods. The oil and industrial sectors were particularly impacted due to the constraints on their operations as a result of the lockdown and the high risk of the virus spreading through logistics to other countries. Since coronavirus is one of the most dangerous viruses, it must be transported with the utmost care. The transportation of the new coronavirus and medications from the sites of outbreaks to healthcare facilities and research institutions for the purpose of investigation, however, gave the market a boost from the healthcare sector.
