Decomposing the 'Transportation and Storage' sector

Last updated on Sep 17, 2021 1 min read

Do we have a shortage of Transportation and Storage businesses?

There is strong firm creation in Transportation and Storage according to our latest September data. We observe an increase in the daily new registrations across the sector. If we decompose the business registrations on a 4-digit level, we note that freight transport has increased significantly the last two months. In particular, we note a big increase in firms created in “Freight transport by road”.

The following interactive chart shows how many companies are registered monthly by 4-digit class in Transportation and Storage.
