Two years of global pandemic and associated supply chain crises have thrown Europe's transport industry under the spotlight - and the industry is set for major growth. This is especially true in Italy, where the freight and logistics market is forecast to grow by 4% annually between 2022 and 2027, as global demand for top-quality European products rises, while a renewed emphasis on secure supply chains funnels more traffic through Europe. Italsempione, a leading freight and logistics provider with a deep history in the country, will continue to keep pace.
