Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/24/2014 -- We forecast fairly modest growth in Israel's freight transport sector in 2014, though this will be an improvement for air and rail freight volumes, both of which have suffered declines in recent years. The major port of Ashdod also suffered a fall in volume handling in 2013. Political risk from the civil war in Syria and escalating sectarian tensions in Lebanon could all weigh on the Israeli economy and its freight transport sector (though this also presents transit opportunities). However, with the eurozone set to return to growth following two years of economic contraction, Israel could see a boost in its export volumes. The country is looking towards the future, and is committed to developing its ports, though this brings with it strike risk from workers disgruntled at the planned privatisation of key facilities.

Headline Industry Data

- 2014 air freight growth is forecast at 1.4% following an estimated decline of 2.0% in 2013; we project average growth of 1.8% per annum to 2018.

- 2014 Port of Haifa tonnage throughput growth is forecast at 7.2%, and to average 6.1% per annum to 2018.

- 2014 rail freight tonnage is forecast to grow by 2.4%, and to average 2.5% to 2018.

- Total trade growth in real terms in 2014 is forecast to grow 3.2% and average 3.7% to 2018.
