Increasing Demand from the Oil and Gas Industry

Latin American oil production is dominated by Brazil, Mexico, and Venezuela. These countries are responsible for about 75% of the region's total output and are also giants on the international stage, ranking as the world's 10th, 11th, and 12th-biggest oil producers, respectively.

Venezuela and other nations on the continent are set to boost their crude oil and natural-gas production despite the biggest non-war inflicted plunge in oil production in recent years. This growth is aided by the development of both conventional offshore resources and unconventional shale reserves in the region.

The increasing oil and gas output has made the industry a major end-user for the logistics sector. Despite the economic woes in some countries, the region set to boost its oil and natural gas production over the next few years, supporting the rig, FPSO, and oilfield services market, which will, in turn, increase the logistics spend in the sector.

The growth in the market can be attributed to the growing food and beverage industry, predominantly in countries such as Brazil and Mexico.

The cost of transportation of products through refrigerated trailers is comparatively higher than transportation through refrigerated vans and trucks.
