Canada Project Logistics Market Analysis
The Canada Project Logistics Market size is estimated at USD 7.70 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 10.97 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.35% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
- Canada is the second largest country in the world and offers a vast source of natural resources that drive the nation's economy. These natural resources include energy sources such as oil & gas, coal, renewables, and minerals such as gold, silver, etc. New projects for extracting these natural resources and expanding large projects require shipping heavy project cargo in the country. Rising oil prices and a robust liquefied natural gas (LNG) and petrochemical construction market offered opportunities to the project logistics transportation industry in 2020.
- Western Canada is an essential source of these natural resources and includes many significant projects. Alberta is home to many oil sands and includes one of the best-oversized load transport corridors in the world. On the other hand, Eastern Canada includes a lot of infrastructure developments. Among the infrastructure projects, bridge construction especially requires the transportation of oversized cargo. Hauling a larger-than-usual load involves logistical as well as legal challenges.
- As the world is becoming more digitized daily, communication is becoming instant. The companies involved in the project cargo business adopt digital technologies such as mobile apps or software to communicate easily with engineering firms and project owners. Some established organizations carry out project logistics activities across the world.
- For instance, Sea Cargo Air Cargo Logistics Inc. (SCACLI) is a network of independent small and medium project logistics forwarders. SCACLI members handle industrial projects, from infrastructure to significant energy projects. The members provide services like transporting, packing/crating and lifting heavy, oversized, and out-of-gauge cargo.
Canada Project Logistics Market Trends
Increasing Usage of Renewable Energies Boosts Opportunities for Project Logistics Companies
- The Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) announced the industry's year-end data, reporting that Canada's wind and solar energy sectors grew significantly in 2021, adding nearly 1 GW of new generation capacity. 2021 was a positive year for our industries, with 677 MW of new wind energy and 288 MW of new utility-scale solar energy commissioned. Alberta accounted for more than 60% of new Canadian capacity installed in 2021, with Saskatchewan accounting for another 20%.
- Canada's new wind and solar energy capacity created approximately 2,400 person-years of employment, primarily in constructing new facilities and maintaining these sites. CanREA projects that 2022 and 2023 will see significantly more growth in the deployment of wind and solar energy, with numerous projects currently under construction or in advanced stages of development.
- More than 3,000 MW was commissioned in 2022, and a similar number in 2023. In addition, new commitments across Canada in 2021 (for example, in Saskatchewan, Quebec, and Nova Scotia) will result in new wind and solar energy deployment after 2023. CanREA's 2050 Vision, Powering Canada's Journey to Net-Zero, demonstrates that we must deploy more than 5,000 MW of new wind and solar energy annually for the next 30 years if Canada is to meet its commitment to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. These all drive the opportunities in Project Logistics in Canada.
Oil & Gas Project Logistics in Canada
- The global project cargo market is expected to be boosted by increased oil prices in the short term. However, oil prices are expected to decrease over the long term, which leads to a decline in new project investments. Canada includes the world's third-largest crude oil reserves, after Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, more than 95% of which consist of oil sand reserves in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
- The provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia share the sedimentary basin for natural gas production in Canada. Canada's oil sands industry contributes nearly 60 billion Canadian dollars (USD 44.36 billion) to the country's GDP. It equates to 3% of the total GDP.
- The oil and natural gas industry is a vital driving force in the Canadian economy, accounting for approximately 7% of Canada's GDP and employing more than 500,000 people. The nation's oil and gas and mining sectors are premier export markets for the US providers of machinery, equipment, and related supply chain goods and services.
- One hundred nine projects are under construction or planned over the next ten years in British Columbia, representing USD 206 billion in investment. Energy projects account for more than 90% of the value of significant project investment in the province.
