The oil and gas, mining, and quarrying sector experienced a significant decline (-12.85% YoY in value) due to the slowing global economy, which was an impact of the trade war between the two countries.
• However, in 2021, the end-user segment of the full truckload market experienced a recovery of around 7.90% YoY, as the economy of the United States recovered from COVID-19 and the impact of the trade war.
