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
